Clinical
Vibegron is used to treat overactive bladder (a condition in which the bladder muscles contract uncontrollably and cause frequent urination, urgent need to urinate, and inability to control urination) in adults. Vibegron is also used in combination with other medications to treat overactive bladder in men who have an enlarged prostate (BPH; benign prostatic hyperplasia). Vibegron is in a class of medications called beta-3 adrenergic agonists. It works by relaxing the bladder muscles to increase bladder capacity.

Availability & generic status
We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on GEMTESA use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal studies, no effects on embryo-fetal development were observed following administration of vibegron during the period of organogenesis at exposures approximately 275-fold and 285-fold greater than clinical exposure at the recommended daily dose of GEMTESA, in rats and rabbits, respectively. Delayed fetal skeletal ossification was observed in rabbits at approximately 898-fold clinical exposure, in the presence of maternal toxicity.
In rats treated with vibegron during pregnancy and lactation, no effects on offspring were observed at 89-fold clinical exposure. Developmental toxicity was observed in offspring at approximately 458-fold clinical exposure, in the presence of maternal toxicity. No effects on offspring were observed at 89-fold clinical exposure (see Data ).
The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies carry some risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.
Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal developmental toxicity study, pregnant rats were treated with daily oral doses of 0, 30, 100, 300, or 1000 mg/kg/day vibegron during the period of organogenesis (Days 6 to 20 of gestation). These doses were associated with systemic exposures (AUC) 0-, 9-, 89-, 275-, and 1867-fold higher, respectively, than in humans treated with the recommended daily dose of GEMTESA. No embryo-fetal developmental toxicity was observed at doses up to 300 mg/kg/day.
Treatment with the high dose of 1000 mg/kg/day was discontinued due to maternal toxicity. In an embryo-fetal developmental toxicity study, pregnant rabbits were treated with daily oral doses of 0, 30, 100, or 300 mg/kg/day vibegron during the period of organogenesis (Days 7 to 20 of gestation). These doses were associated with systemic exposures (AUC) 0-, 86-, 285-, and 898-fold higher, respectively, than in humans treated with the recommended daily dose of GEMTESA.
No embryo-fetal developmental toxicity was observed at doses of vibegron up to 100 mg/kg/day. Maternal toxicity (decreased food consumption), reduced fetal body weight, and an increased incidence of delayed skeletal ossification, were observed at 300 mg/kg/day. In a pre- and post-natal developmental toxicity study, pregnant or lactating rats were treated with daily oral doses of 0, 30, 100, or 500 mg/kg/day vibegron from day 6 of gestation through day 20 of lactation.
These doses were associated with estimated systemic exposures (AUC) 0-, 9-, 89-, and 458-fold higher, respectively, than in humans treated with the recommended daily dose of GEMTESA. No developmental toxicity was observed in F1 offspring at doses up to 100 mg/kg/day. Maternal toxicity was observed during lactation (decreased body weight gain) at doses ≥100 mg/kg/day and during gestation (decreased body weight gain and food consumption) at 500 mg/kg/day.
Developmental toxicity was observed in F1 offspring (increased stillborn index, lethality, reduced viability and weaning indices, decreased body weight and body weight gains, low physical development differentiation indices, and effects on sensory function and reflexes) at 500 mg/kg/day.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of vibegron in human milk, the effects of the drug on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. When a single oral dose of radiolabeled vibeg… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Vibegron is a selective human beta-3 adrenergic receptor agonist. Activation of the beta-3 adrenergic receptor increases bladder capacity by relaxing the detrusor smooth muscle during bladder filling.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Vibegron's exposure-response relationship and the time course of pharmacodynamic response are not fully characterized. Blood Pressure In a 4-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, ambulatory blood pressure study in OAB patients (n=200), daily treatment with GEMTESA 75 mg was not associated with clinically significant changes in blood pressure. Subjects enrolled in this study had a mean age of 59 years and 75% were female.
Thirty-five percent of subjects had pre-existing hypertension at baseline and 29% of all subjects were taking at least 1 concomitant antihypertensive medication. Cardiac Electrophysiology GEMTESA does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent at a single dose 5.3 times the approved recommended dose.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Mean vibegron C max and AUC increased in a greater than dose-proportional manner up to 600 mg (8 times the approved recommended dosage). Steady state concentrations are achieved within 7 days of once daily dosing. The mean accumulation ratio (R ac ) was 1.7 for C max and 2.4 for AUC 0-24hr .
Absorption Median vibegron T max is approximately 1 to 3 hours. Oral administration of a 75 mg vibegron tablet crushed and mixed with 15 mL of applesauce resulted in no clinically relevant changes in vibegron pharmacokinetics when compared to administration of an intact 75 mg vibegron tablet. Effect of Food No clinically significant differences in vibegron pharmacokinetics were observed following administration of a high-fat meal (53% fat, 869 calories [32.1 g protein, 70.2 g carbohydrate, and 51.1 g fat]).
Distribution The mean apparent volume of distribution is 6304 liters. Human plasma protein binding of vibegron is approximately 50%. The average blood-to-plasma concentration ratio is 0.9.
Elimination Vibegron has an effective half-life of 30.8 hours across all populations. Metabolism Metabolism plays a minor role in the elimination of vibegron. CYP3A4 is the predominant enzyme responsible for in vitro metabolism.
Excretion Following a radiolabeled dose, approximately 59% of the dose (54% as unchanged) was recovered in feces and 20% (19% as unchanged) in urine. Specific Populations No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of vibegron were observed based on age (18 to 93 years), sex, race/ethnicity (Japanese vs. non-Japanese), mild (eGFR 60 to <90 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ), moderate (eGFR 30 to <60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ), and severe (eGFR 15 to <30 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) renal impairment, or moderate (Child-Pugh B) hepatic impairment.
The effect of more severe renal impairment (eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) with or without hemodialysis or severe (Child-Pugh C) hepatic impairment on vibegron pharmacokinetics was not studied. Drug Interaction Studies Clinical Studies Digoxin : Concomitant administration of vibegron increased digoxin C max and AUC by 21% and 11%, respectively. Other Drugs: No clinically significant differences in vibegron pharmacokinetics were observed when used concomitantly with ketoconazole (P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitor), diltiazem (P-gp and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor), rifampin (strong CYP3A4 inducer), or tolterodine.
No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of the following drugs were observed when used concomitantly with vibegron: tolterodine, tolterodine 5-hydroxy metabolite, metoprolol, combined oral contraceptive (ethinyl estradiol, levonorgestrel), or warfarin. In Vitro Studies Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes: Vibegron is a CYP3A4 substrate. Vibegron did not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, or CYP3A4.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES
14.1Overactive Bladder in Adults The efficacy of GEMTESA was evaluated in a 12-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, and active-controlled trial (Study 3003, NCT03492281) in patients with OAB (urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency). Patients were randomized 5:5:4 to receive either GEMTESA 75 mg, placebo, or active control orally, once daily for 12 weeks. For study entry, patients had to have symptoms of OAB for at least 3 months with an average of 8 or more micturitions per day and at least 1 urge urinary incontinence (UUI) per day, or an average of 8 or more micturitions per day and an average of at least 3 urgency episodes per day.
Urge urinary incontinence was defined as leakage of urine of any amount because the patient felt an urge or need to urinate immediately. The study population included OAB medication-naïve patients as well as patients who had received prior therapy with OAB medications. The co-primary endpoints were change from baseline in average daily number of micturitions and average daily number of UUI episodes at week 12.
Additional endpoints included change from baseline in average daily number of “need to urinate immediately” (urgency) episodes and average volume voided per micturition. A total of 1,515 patients received at least one daily dose of placebo (n=540), GEMTESA 75 mg (n=545), or an active control treatment (n=430). The majority of patients were White (78%) and female (85%) with a mean age of 60 (range 18 to 93) years.
Table 3 shows changes from baseline at week 12 for average daily number of micturitions, average daily number of UUI episodes, average daily number of “need to urinate immediately” (urgency) episodes, and average volume voided per micturition.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenesis No carcinogenicity was observed in long-term studies conducted in mice and rats treated with daily oral doses of vibegron for approximately 2 years. In the mouse carcinogenicity study, CD-1 mice were treated with daily oral doses of vibegron up to 90 mg/kg/day in males and up to 150 mg/kg/day in females, corresponding to estimated systemic exposures (AUC) 21- and 55-fold higher, respectively, than in humans treated with the recommended daily dose of GEMTESA.
In the rat carcinogenicity study, Sprague Dawley rats were treated with daily oral doses of vibegron up to 30 mg/kg/day in males and up to 180 mg/kg/day in females, corresponding to systemic exposures (AUC) 18- and 117-fold higher, respectively, than in humans treated with the recommended daily dose of GEMTESA. Mutagenesis Vibegron was not mutagenic in in vitro microbial reverse mutation assays, showed no evidence of genotoxic activity in an in vitro human peripheral blood lymphocyte chromosomal aberration assay, and did not increase the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay.
Impairment of Fertility In fertility/general reproductive toxicity studies conducted in rats, females were treated with daily oral doses of 0, 30, 100, 300, or 1000 mg/kg/day vibegron and males were treated with daily oral doses of 0, 10, 30, or 300 mg/kg/day vibegron. No effects on fertility were observed in female or male rats at doses up to 300 mg/kg/day, associated with systemic exposure (AUC) at least 274-fold higher than in humans treated with the recommended daily dose of GEMTESA. General toxicity, decreased fecundity, and decreased fertility were observed in female rats at 1000 mg/kg/day, associated with estimated systemic exposure 1867-fold higher than in humans treated with the recommended daily dose of GEMTESA.
