⏳ Availability & biosimilar status
Biologics have no small-molecule generics; biosimilar competition is tracked in the FDA Purple Book.
Why the date isn’t exact: Biosimilar timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added or removed, and litigation can move the real date earlier or later.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Biologic patent
- A patent the reference product’s maker has publicly listed. A biosimilar generally can’t launch until these expire — unless they’re invalidated or resolved in a settlement.
- Reference-product exclusivity
- A flat 12 years of FDA market protection from the biologic’s first licensure (the BPCIA). No biosimilar can be licensed before it ends, regardless of patents.
- Interchangeable exclusivity
- The first interchangeable biosimilar can earn a period as the only interchangeable version (pharmacists can substitute it without the prescriber).
- Earliest biosimilar (LOE)
- The latest of all the dates above — the soonest a biosimilar can realistically reach the market. Litigation and settlements can move it earlier.
Biologics have no small-molecule “generics” — competition comes from FDA-licensed biosimilars, tracked in the FDA Purple Book.
| Code | What it grants | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| RefProduct | Reference-product exclusivity (12-year, BPCIA) — no biosimilar can be licensed before this date | Feb 21, 2032 |

💊 Dosage Forms and Strengths ▾
3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS VYEPTI is a clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to brownish-yellow solution available as follows: Injection: 100 mg/mL in a single-dose vial Injection: 100 mg/mL solution in a single-dose vial ( 3 )
⛔ Contraindications ▾
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS VYEPTI is contraindicated in patients with serious hypersensitivity to eptinezumab-jjmr or to any of the excipients in VYEPTI. Reactions have included anaphylaxis and angioedema [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . VYEPTI is contraindicated in patients with serious hypersensitivity to eptinezumab-jjmr or to any of the excipients ( 4)
⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Reactions: If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, consider discontinuing VYEPTI and initiate appropriate therapy ( 5.1 ) Constipation with Serious Complications: Serious complications of constipation may occur ( 5.2 ) Hypertension: New-onset or worsening of pre-existing hypertension may occur ( 5.3 ) Raynaud’s Phenomenon: New-onset or worsening of pre-existing Raynaud’s phenomenon may occur ( 5.4 )
5.1Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema, urticaria, facial flushing, dyspnea, and rash, have occurred with VYEPTI in clinical trials and in the postmarketing setting. Most hypersensitivity reactions occurred during infusion and were not serious, but often led to discontinuation or required treatment. Serious hypersensitivity reactions may occur.
Cases of anaphylaxis have been reported in the postmarketing setting. If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, consider discontinuing VYEPTI and institute appropriate therapy [see Contraindications (4) and Patient Counseling Information (17) ] .
5.2Constipation with Serious Complications Constipation with serious complications has been reported following the use of monoclonal antibody CGRP antagonists, including VYEPTI, in the postmarketing setting. There were cases with monoclonal antibody CGRP antagonists that required hospitalization, including cases where surgery was necessary. In a majority of these cases, the onset of constipation was reported after the first dose; however, patients have also presented with constipation later on in treatment.
The monoclonal antibody CGRP antagonist was discontinued in many of the reported cases of constipation with serious complications. Monitor patients treated with VYEPTI for severe constipation and manage as clinically appropriate. The concurrent use of medications that reduce gastrointestinal motility may increase the risk for more severe constipation and the potential for constipation-related complications.
5.3Hypertension Development of hypertension and worsening of pre-existing hypertension have been reported following the use of CGRP antagonists, including VYEPTI, in the postmarketing setting. Some of the patients who developed new-onset hypertension had risk factors for hypertension. There were cases requiring initiation of pharmacological treatment for hypertension, and in some cases hospitalization.
Hypertension may occur at any time during treatment, but was most frequently reported within 7 days of therapy initiation. The CGRP antagonist was discontinued in many of the reported cases. Monitor patients treated with VYEPTI for new-onset hypertension or worsening of pre-existing hypertension, and consider whether discontinuation of VYEPTI is warranted if evaluation fails to establish an alternative etiology or blood pressure is inadequately controlled.
5.4Raynaud’s Phenomenon Development of Raynaud’s phenomenon and recurrence or worsening of pre-existing Raynaud’s phenomenon have been reported in the postmarketing setting following the use of CGRP antagonists. In reported cases with monoclonal antibody CGRP antagonists, symptom onset occurred a median of 71 days following dosing. Many of the cases reported serious outcomes, including hospitalizations and disability, generally related to debilitating pain.
In most reported cases, discontinuation of the CGRP antagonist resulted in resolution of symptoms. VYEPTI should be discontinued if signs or symptoms of Raynaud’s phenomenon develop, and patients should be evaluated by a healthcare provider if symptoms do not resolve. Patients with a history of Raynaud’s phenomenon should be monitored for, and informed about the possibility of, worsening or recurrence of signs and symptoms.
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Constipation with Serious Complications [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] Hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Raynaud’s Phenomenon [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] The most common adverse reactions (≥2% and 2% or greater than placebo) were nasopharyngitis and hypersensitivity ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Lundbeck at 1-800-455-1141 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. The safety of VYEPTI was evaluated in 2076 patients with migraine who received at least one dose of VYEPTI, representing 1615 patient-years of exposure; of these, 1524 patients were exposed to 100 mg or 300 mg. Across all doses, 1872 patients were exposed for at least 6 months and 991 patients were exposed for 12 months.
In the placebo-controlled clinical studies (Study 1 and Study 2) of 1372 patients, 579 patients received at least one dose of VYEPTI 100 mg, 574 patients received at least one dose of VYEPTI 300 mg, and 588 patients received placebo [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Approximately 86% were female, 89% were white, and the mean age was 40.4 years at study entry. The most common (incidence at least 2% and at least 2% greater than placebo) adverse reactions in the clinical trials for the preventive treatment of migraine were nasopharyngitis and hypersensitivity.
Table 1 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred during Study 1 and Study 2. Table 1. Adverse Reactions Occurring with an Incidence of at Least 2% for VYEPTI and at Least 2% Greater than Placebo in Studies 1 and 2 Adverse Reactions VYEPTI 100 mg N=579% VYEPTI 300 mg N=574% Placebo N=588% Nasopharyngitis 6 8 6 Hypersensitivity reactions* 1 2 0 * Hypersensitivity reactions includes multiple related adverse event terms, such as hypersensitivity, pruritus, and flushing/hot flush that occurred on the day of dosing.
In Study 1 and Study 2, 1.9% of patients treated with VYEPTI discontinued treatment because of adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . In study 3, the safety profile observed in 480 patients who were randomized and treated (238 to VYEPTI 100 mg and 242 to placebo) was consistent with the safety profile observed in the two pivotal placebo-controlled studies with VYEPTI (Study 1 and 2).
6.2Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of VYEPTI. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Gastrointestinal Disorders: Constipation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions: Fatigue Immune System Disorders: Anaphylaxis [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Vascular Disorders: Hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] , Raynaud’s phenomenon [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ]
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to VYEPTI during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register pregnant patients, or pregnant women may enroll themselves in the registry by calling 1-855-810-8549 or by contacting the company at www.vyeptipregnancyregistry.lundbeck.com. Risk Summary There are no adequate data on developmental risks associated with the use of VYEPTI in pregnant women.
No adverse developmental effects were observed following administration of eptinezumab-jjmr to pregnant animals at doses greater than those used clinically [see Data] . In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriages in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2%-4% and 15%-20%, respectively. The estimated rate of major birth defects (2.2%-2.9%) and miscarriage (17%) among deliveries to women with migraine are similar to rates reported in women without migraine.
Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk Published data have suggested that women with migraine may be at increased risk of preeclampsia and gestational hypertension during pregnancy. Data Animal Data When eptinezumab-jjmr (0, 75, or 150 mg/kg) was administered weekly to female rats and rabbits by intravenous injection throughout organogenesis, no adverse effects on embryofetal development were observed. The higher dose tested (150 mg/kg) is 30 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 300 mg, on a body weight basis (mg/kg).
When eptinezumab-jjmr (0, 75, or 150 mg/kg) was administered weekly to female rats throughout pregnancy and lactation, no adverse effects on pre- and postnatal development were observed. The higher dose tested (150 mg/kg) is 30 times the MRHD, on a mg/kg basis.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of eptinezumab-jjmr in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for VYEPTI and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from VYEPTI or from the underlying maternal condition.
8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.
8.5Geriatric Use Clinical studies of VYEPTI did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Eptinezumab-jjmr is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) ligand and blocks its binding to the receptor.
12.2Pharmacodynamics The relationship between the pharmacodynamic activity and the mechanism(s) by which eptinezumab-jjmr exerts its clinical effects is unknown.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Eptinezumab-jjmr exhibits linear pharmacokinetics and exposure increases proportionally with doses from 100 mg to 300 mg after intravenous administration. Steady-state plasma concentration is attained after the first dose with a once every 3-month dosing schedule. Distribution The central volume of distribution (Vc) for eptinezumab-jjmr is approximately 3.7 liters.
Metabolism & Elimination Eptinezumab-jjmr is expected to be degraded by proteolytic enzymes into small peptides and amino acids. The apparent clearance of eptinezumab-jjmr was 0.006 L/h, and the terminal elimination half-life was approximately 27 days. Specific Populations A population pharmacokinetic analysis assessing the effects of age, race, sex, and body weight did not suggest any clinically significant impact of these covariates on eptinezumab exposures.
Patients with Renal or Hepatic Impairment No dedicated studies were conducted to assess the effects of renal or hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of eptinezumab-jjmr. However, hepatic or renal impairment is not expected to affect the pharmacokinetics of eptinezumab-jjmr. A population pharmacokinetic analysis of integrated data from eptinezumab-jjmr clinical studies did not reveal clinically significant impact on pharmacokinetics of patients with hepatic or renal impairment.
Drug Interaction Studies P450 Enzymes Eptinezumab-jjmr is not metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes; therefore, interactions with concomitant medications that are substrates, inducers, or inhibitors of cytochrome P450 enzymes are unlikely. Sumatriptan The co-administration of a single dose of 300 mg eptinezumab-jjmr administered as an intravenous infusion (over a period of 1 hour ± 15 min) with a single dose of 6 mg sumatriptan administered subcutaneously did not significantly influence the pharmacokinetics of eptinezumab-jjmr or sumatriptan.
12.6Immunogenicity The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other studies, including those of eptinezumab-jjmr. In patients receiving VYEPTI 100 mg or 300 mg every 3 months, the incidence of anti-eptinezumab-jjmr antibody development in Study 1 (up to 56 weeks) was 20.6% (92/447), and 41.3% (38/92) of those patients developed anti-eptinezumab-jjmr neutralizing antibodies.
In Study 2 (up to 32 weeks), the incidence of anti-eptinezumab-jjmr antibody development was 18.3% (129/706), and 34.9% (45/129) of those patients developed anti-eptinezumab-jjmr neutralizing antibodies. In an open-label study with 84 weeks of treatment, 18% (23/128) of patients developed anti-eptinezumab-jjmr antibodies, and 39% (9/23) of those patients developed anti-eptinezumab-jjmr neutralizing antibodies. Although the results from both studies showed no clear evidence of an impact from development of anti-eptinezumab-jjmr antibodies, including neutralizing antibodies, on the safety and efficacy profiles of VYEPTI, the available data are too limited to make definitive conclusions.
