Why two NDCs? The FDA registers this code as 73648-117-04 — a 5-3-2 layout, and that's what's printed on the package and shown on DailyMed. For insurance claims, every NDC is standardized to a uniform 11-digit 5-4-2 format by adding a zero to the product segment → 73648-0117-04. Same drug, same package — only the format differs.

🧪 Inactive Ingredients / Excipients

Inactive ingredients, also called excipients, are components of the drug product other than the active ingredient. They may include fillers, dyes, coatings, preservatives, flavors, or other formulation ingredients.

A current SPL was checked, but it does not contain a structured or narrative inactive-ingredient list for this product. This does not mean the product has no inactive ingredients.
Where does this data come from?
Source: official FDA Structured Product Labeling (SPL) via DailyMed and the openFDA label index. Structured IACT rows and label-wide narrative are kept separate; availability and product-level specificity depend on the submitted label.

Inactive ingredient FAQ

Are inactive ingredients the same for every manufacturer?
No. Inactive ingredients can differ by manufacturer, dosage form, strength, and package / product version.
Why might an inactive ingredient be missing?
Some SPLs do not provide a complete structured inactive-ingredient list, and older or unusual labels may only include the information in narrative text.
Can inactive ingredients matter?
Yes. They can matter for allergies, intolerances, dyes, gluten / lactose concerns, preservatives, and formulation differences — but confirm with a pharmacist or the manufacturer when it’s clinically important.

💲 Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Price systemPer eachPer package
Retail pharmacies payNADAC · weekly Not in the retail survey — common for institutional, discontinued, or low-volume packs.
Medicaid paysCMS SDUD · 12 mo No recent Medicaid claims on file for this NDC — rare and low-volume NDCs are suppressed in the public data.
Medicare drug plans payPart D · quarterly No Part D plan price is available for this NDC in our data.
Medicare Part B allowsASP · J3402 $203,659.763 / J3402 unit
Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

About this product: this is a biologic. Biologics don't have small-molecule generics — competition comes from FDA-licensed biosimilars (shown above), not generics.
Where does this data come from?
Equivalents are other NDCs of the same ingredient, form and route from the openFDA NDC Directory, ranked least-expensive-first by NADAC. Therapeutic-equivalence (AB) ratings come from the FDA Orange Book; biologics use the FDA Purple Book for biosimilar & interchangeable status.

🧬Biologic — competition comes from biosimilars

Biologics have no small-molecule generics; biosimilar competition is tracked in the FDA Purple Book.

🛡️ Latest patent/protection date listed: FDA patent/protection data lists protections through Dec 2036. This may affect when biosimilars become widely available, but it is not a guaranteed launch date.
📅 FDA approved Dec 18, 2024 ⏳ ~10.3 yr to latest listed protection

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.

Biologic patent Exclusivity
🏛️Reference-product exclusivity
A flat 12 years of FDA market protection from first licensure. No biosimilar can be licensed before it ends — regardless of patents.
🧪Listed biologic patents
Patents the reference maker lists covering the molecule, formulation, or manufacturing. A biosimilar generally can’t launch until these resolve.
🔁Interchangeability
An interchangeable biosimilar may be substituted at the pharmacy (state laws vary). The first one can earn its own exclusivity period.
🛈 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.

Common questions
Is there a biosimilar for RYONCIL 75 KG-LESS THAN 87.5KG?
No FDA-licensed biosimilar is currently listed for this biologic in the FDA Purple Book.
Why do different websites show different biosimilar dates?
Biosimilar availability isn’t based on one single date. Some sources use the reference-product exclusivity, some use the last listed patent, and patent litigation, settlements, and licenses can all change the real-world launch date. This page shows the underlying Purple Book dates so you can see why estimates differ.
Can a biosimilar launch before the last patent expires?
Sometimes. A biosimilar maker may settle with the reference manufacturer or receive a license to launch earlier. In other cases, the last listed protection delays competition.
What does “current Purple Book estimate” mean?
It means we’re using the latest patent and exclusivity dates currently listed in the FDA Purple Book. It is not a guaranteed launch date.
What does “FDA listed” mean?
It means the product appears in the FDA’s official directory. That’s a good sign a product exists for the U.S. market, but on its own it does not confirm a pharmacy can get it today. Where we have recent retail pricing data, we label it “Availability likely” instead.
What does a patent or protection date mean here?
It’s the latest date currently listed in the FDA Purple Book for a patent or exclusivity on the reference biologic. It can affect when a biosimilar becomes widely available — but it is not a guaranteed launch date. Settlements and licenses can move the real date earlier or later.
Built from the FDA Purple Book Patent List (patents the reference-product sponsor has publicly listed under the BPCIA) plus reference-product exclusivity. Biosimilars cannot launch until these clear; patent litigation and settlements can shift the real date. Biologics have no small-molecule generics — competition comes from FDA-licensed biosimilars, not the Orange Book.
Where does this data come from?
Patents and exclusivity from the FDA Purple Book (biologics), refreshed from public FDA data. Biosimilar launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The FDA registers it as 73648-117-04, which is what is printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero: 73648-0117-04, written without dashes as 73648011704. The Identity section at the top of this page lists every form of this code.
What do the three segments of this NDC mean?
In 73648-0117-04, the first segment (73648) is the labeler code FDA assigned to Mesoblast; the middle segment (0117) identifies this specific product — its ingredient, strength, and dosage form; and the last segment (04) identifies this exact package size and type. Together they name one specific package of one specific product.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by Mesoblast. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
Mesoblast is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
Does this product have a billing J-code?
Yes — this NDC cross-references HCPCS code J3402 for medical-claim billing (typically used when a product is administered in a clinical setting rather than dispensed at a retail pharmacy). See the Billing section on this page.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.
Where does this data come from?
Listing facts (marketing category, packager status, marketing dates) from the FDA openFDA NDC Directory; label availability from DailyMed; pricing coverage from CMS NADAC; equivalence scope from the FDA Orange Book.

Contraindications 34 words

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS Do not use RYONCIL in patients with known hypersensitivity to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or porcine and bovine proteins. Known hypersensitivity to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or Porcine and Bovine proteins. ( 4 )

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ~1 min read

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity/Acute Infusion reactions : Monitor for hypersensitivity reactions during infusion and premedicate with corticosteroids and antihistamines. ( 5.1 ) Transmission of Infectious Agents: RYONCIL may transmit infectious agents. ( 5.2 ) Ectopic Tissue Formation: Ectopic tissue formation may occur following treatment with RYONCIL. ( 5.3 )

5.1Hypersensitivity and Acute Infusion Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions including acute infusion reactions have occurred with RYONCIL administration [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur due to DMSO and trace amounts of porcine or bovine proteins. Signs and symptoms may include fever, dyspnea, and hypotension during or after RYONCIL infusion.

Premedicate patients with antihistamine and corticosteroids and monitor closely for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity or acute infusion reactions. If a hypersensitivity or infusion reaction occurs, interrupt RYONCIL infusion. Do not administer RYONCIL in patients who experience serious or life-threatening reactions.

5.2Transmission of Infectious Agents Transmission of infectious disease or agents may occur with RYONCIL administration because it contains cells from human donors and is manufactured using human, porcine and bovine-derived reagents. Donors are screened and tested for Human Immune-deficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1); Human Immune-deficiency Virus 2 (HIV-2); Hepatitis B Virus (HBV); Hepatitis C Virus (HCV); Human T-cell Leukemia-lymphoma Virus 1 (HTLV-1); Human T-cell Leukemia-lymphoma Virus 2 (HTLV-2); West Nile Virus (WNV); Cytomegalovirus (CMV); Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV); and Syphilis ( Treponema pallidum ).

Only screening was performed for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and communicable disease risks associated with xenotransplantation. RYONCIL cell banks are tested for human and animal viruses, retroviruses, bacteria, fungi, yeast, and mycoplasma. Human and animal-derived reagents are tested for human and animal viruses, bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasma before use.

These measures do not eliminate the risk of transmitting these or other infectious diseases or agents.

5.3Ectopic Tissue Formation Ectopic tissue formation may occur following treatment with RYONCIL due to the ability of human mesenchymal stromal cells to differentiate into mesenchymal lineage cells such as bone, cartilage and fat cells.

🤒 Adverse Reactions ~2 min read

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common non-laboratory adverse reactions (incidence ≥20%) are: viral infectious disorders, bacterial infectious disorders, infection – pathogen unspecified, pyrexia, hemorrhage, edema, abdominal pain and hypertension ( 6.1 ). To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Mesoblast at toll-free phone #1-844-889-MESO (6376) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch .

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety data described in this section reflect exposure to RYONCIL in 54 patients in Study MSB-GVHD001 for the treatment of SR-aGvHD. Patients received intravenous infusion of RYONCIL at a dosage of 2 x 10 6 MSCs/kg twice a week for four consecutive weeks, for a total of eight infusions.

Patients with partial or mixed response at Day 28 received additional infusions of RYONCIL 2 x 10 6 MSCs/kg once a week for an additional four weeks [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . The median number of doses administered were 10 (range 1 to 16), and the treatment was administered over a median of 43 days (range 1 to 104 days). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 35 patients (65%) including pyrexia (n=5;9%), respiratory failure (n=5;9%), pneumatosis intestinalis (n=4;7%) and staphylococcal bacteremia (n=2;<5%).

Eight patients had discontinuation of RYONCIL treatment due to the following: acute infusion reactions (n=3), hypotension (n=1), gastroenteritis (n=1), and death (n=3).

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data for RYONCIL use in pregnant women. No animal reproductive and developmental toxicity studies have been conducted with RYONCIL to assess whether it can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. It is not known if RYONCIL has the potential to be transferred to the fetus.

Therefore, RYONCIL is not recommended for women who are pregnant. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 10-20%, respectively.

8.2Lactation Risk Summary There is no information regarding the presence of RYONCIL in human milk, the effect on the breastfed infant, and the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for RYONCIL and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from RYONCIL or from the underlying maternal condition.

8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of RYONCIL for treatment of SR-GvHD have been established in pediatric patients 2 months of age and older. The use of RYONCIL in these age groups is supported by evidence from an adequate and well-controlled trial [see Adverse Reactions (6) and Clinical Studies (14) ] .

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology 209 words

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action The mechanism of action for RYONCIL is not clear but may be related to immunomodulatory effects. Data from in vitro studies demonstrate that MSCs inhibit T cell activation as measured by proliferation and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Acute GvHD occurs when alloreactive donor-derived T cells within the donated tissue (graft) trigger an immunological response, and alloreactive donor-derived T cells play a role in mediating the systemic inflammation, cytotoxicity and potential end organ damage associated with aGvHD.

12.2Pharmacodynamics Human pharmacodynamic data were obtained from analysis of blood samples in pediatric subjects with SR-aGvHD (n=40; age range 0.6-17 years) following treatment with RYONCIL at a dose of 2x10 6 cells/kg. At Baseline, elevated levels of tumor necrosis factor receptor type I (TNFR1) and suppressor of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) were observed consistent with the inflammatory state of aGvHD. Treatment with RYONCIL reduced the levels of TNFR1 and ST2 by 79% and 75%, respectively, at Day 180 as compared to baseline values.

Further, the circulating levels of CD3+CD4+CD25+HLA-DR+ T cells, which represent activated T cells, were reduced by 64% at Day 180 following treatment with RYONCIL as compared to the baseline values.

12.3Pharmacokinetics No studies have been performed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of RYONCIL.
