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 | Sep 9, 2034 |

👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on Rolvedon use in pregnant women; however, data from published studies with use of other recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) products in pregnant women have not identified any drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Animal reproduction studies were conducted in rats and rabbits. In rats, eflapegrastim-xnst did not adversely affect embryofetal and/or postnatal development when administered from organogenesis throughout lactation at doses that produced maternal exposures up to 7 times the exposure at the recommended clinical dose.
In rabbits, eflapegrastim-xnst caused embryofetal lethality and reduced fetal weight when administered during the organogenesis period at approximately 6 times the exposure at the clinical dose (see Data) . The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes.
In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In an embryofetal developmental study in rabbits, eflapegrastim-xnst was administered subcutaneously every other day during the period of organogenesis at doses up to 10 times the clinical exposure at the maximum recommended dose of 13.2 mg. Increased post-implantation loss, reduced number of live fetuses, and reduced fetal body weights were observed at 6 times the clinical exposure, based on AUC.
No malformations were observed up to 10 times the clinical exposure, based on AUC. In an embryofetal developmental study in rats, eflapegrastim-xnst administered subcutaneously every other day during the period of organogenesis did not adversely affect embryofetal development at doses up to 7 times clinical exposure, based on AUC. In a pre- and post-natal development study in rats, eflapegrastim-xnst administered subcutaneously once weekly from organogenesis through lactation did not adversely affect behavioral, developmental, or reproductive parameters at doses up to 7 times the clinical exposure, based on AUC.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of eflapegrastim-xnst in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Endogenous granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is present in human milk. Other recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) products are present in human milk at low levels and are not orally absorbed by infants.
The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for Rolvedon and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from Rolvedon or from the underlying maternal condition.
8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.
8.5Geriatric Use Of the 314 patients in clinical studies of Rolvedon, 39% were 65 and over, while 6% were 75 and over. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Eflapegrastim-xnst is a recombinant human granulocyte growth factor that binds to G-CSF receptors on myeloid progenitor cells and neutrophils, triggering signaling pathways that control cell differentiation, proliferation, migration and survival.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Eflapegrastim-xnst has been shown to elevate neutrophil counts in healthy subjects and in cancer patients. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC), C max and area under the effect curve (AUEC last ) increased with increasing doses of eflapegrastim-xnst in a linear, but less than dose-proportional, manner over a dose range of 45 to 350 mcg/kg.
12.3Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of eflapegrastim-xnst was studied in healthy subjects and patients with breast cancer. After subcutaneous (SC) dosing, the pharmacokinetics of eflapegrastim-xnst was nonlinear and exposure increases were not dose-proportional over the dose range of 45 to 350 mcg/kg. Absorption The median T max of eflapegrastim-xnst is 25 hours (6 to 144 hours) in patients with breast cancer following administration of the recommended dosage.
Distribution The volume of distribution of eflapegrastim-xnst is
1.44L. Elimination The geometric mean half-life of eflapegrastim-xnst in patients with breast cancer is 36.4 hours (Range: 16.1 to 115 hours) during Cycle 1. Eflapegrastim-xnst clearance decreased with increasing doses following single dose administration, suggesting target-mediated clearance of eflapegrastim-xnst by neutrophils.
Following repeat administration, clearance increased in Cycle 3 as compared to Cycle 1, potentially due to the subsequent increase in neutrophils. In in vitro studies, the IgG4 Fc fragment in eflapegrastim-xnst binds to the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), facilitating the FcRn-mediated transcytosis of eflapegrastim-xnst. Metabolism Eflapegrastim-xnst is expected to be metabolized by endogenous degradation following receptor-mediated internalization by cells bearing the G-CSF receptor.
Excretion Eflapegrastim-xnst was not detected in urine. Drug Interaction Studies No studies evaluating the drug interaction potential of eflapegrastim-xnst have been conducted.
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 eflapegrastim-xnst or of other eflapegrastim products. Antibodies to eflapegrastim-xnst were detected using bridging enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with a sensitivity of 65 ng/mL.
During the 12-week treatment period in the two randomized studies, twenty-one of 297 (7.1%) patients treated with eflapegrastim-xnst developed antibodies. At the 12-month follow-up visit after the last dose of treatment in the two randomized studies, 28 of 297 (9.4%) patients treated with eflapegrastim-xnst developed antibodies. Neutralizing antibodies were detected by a cell-based assay with a sensitivity of 1.95 mcg/mL.
One patient out of 297 (0.3%) in the eflapegrastim-xnst arm tested positive for neutralizing antibodies post-treatment. Treatment-emergent anti-PEG antibodies were detected by a direct binding ELISA in 126 out of 268 patients (47%) treated with eflapegrastim-xnst. There was no identified clinically significant effect of anti-drug antibodies on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety or effectiveness of Rolvedon over the treatment duration of 12 weeks.
There was no identified clinically significant effect of anti-drug antibodies on the safety profile of Rolvedon during the 12-month follow-up period after the last dose.

📋 Description ▾
11 DESCRIPTION Eflapegrastim-xnst is a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G‑CSF) produced by covalent coupling of a human G-CSF analog (18.6 kDa) and an Fc fragment of human immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) (49.8 kDa), both derived from recombinant E. coli , via a single 3.4 kDa polyethylene glycol linker. The recombinant G-CSF domain in eflapegrastim-xnst is a variant of human G-CSF with two serine substitutions at positions 17 and 65, and no additional N-terminal methionine.

🧬 Pharmacokinetics ▾
12.3Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of eflapegrastim-xnst was studied in healthy subjects and patients with breast cancer. After subcutaneous (SC) dosing, the pharmacokinetics of eflapegrastim-xnst was nonlinear and exposure increases were not dose-proportional over the dose range of 45 to 350 mcg/kg. Absorption The median T max of eflapegrastim-xnst is 25 hours (6 to 144 hours) in patients with breast cancer following administration of the recommended dosage.
Distribution The volume of distribution of eflapegrastim-xnst is
1.44L. Elimination The geometric mean half-life of eflapegrastim-xnst in patients with breast cancer is 36.4 hours (Range: 16.1 to 115 hours) during Cycle 1. Eflapegrastim-xnst clearance decreased with increasing doses following single dose administration, suggesting target-mediated clearance of eflapegrastim-xnst by neutrophils.
Following repeat administration, clearance increased in Cycle 3 as compared to Cycle 1, potentially due to the subsequent increase in neutrophils. In in vitro studies, the IgG4 Fc fragment in eflapegrastim-xnst binds to the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), facilitating the FcRn-mediated transcytosis of eflapegrastim-xnst. Metabolism Eflapegrastim-xnst is expected to be metabolized by endogenous degradation following receptor-mediated internalization by cells bearing the G-CSF receptor.
Excretion Eflapegrastim-xnst was not detected in urine. Drug Interaction Studies No studies evaluating the drug interaction potential of eflapegrastim-xnst have been conducted.
🧬 Pharmacodynamics ▾
12.2Pharmacodynamics Eflapegrastim-xnst has been shown to elevate neutrophil counts in healthy subjects and in cancer patients. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC), C max and area under the effect curve (AUEC last ) increased with increasing doses of eflapegrastim-xnst in a linear, but less than dose-proportional, manner over a dose range of 45 to 350 mcg/kg.
🔬 Clinical Studies ▾
14 CLINICAL STUDIES Patients with Cancer Receiving Myelosuppressive Chemotherapy The efficacy of Rolvedon to decrease the incidence of infection, as manifested by febrile neutropenia, in patients with nonmyeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive anti-cancer drugs was evaluated in two 1:1 randomized, open-label, active-controlled non-inferiority studies of similar design (Study 1 [NCT02643420] and Study 2 [NCT02953340]) that enrolled a total of 643 patients with early-stage breast cancer. Docetaxel 75 mg/m 2 and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m 2 (TC) were administered intravenously every 21 days (on Day 1 of each cycle) for up to 4 cycles.
A fixed dose of Rolvedon 13.2 mg/0.6 mL or pegfilgrastim (6 mg/0.6 mL) was administered subcutaneously on Day 2 of each cycle after TC chemotherapy. The median age of patients enrolled in the two randomized studies was 60 years (Range: 24 to 88), the majority of patients were female (>99%), 77% were White and 12% were Black or African American. Study 1 enrolled 406 patients; 196 patients to the Rolvedon arm and 210 patients to the pegfilgrastim arm.
Study 2 enrolled 237 patients; 118 patients to the Rolvedon arm and 119 patients to the pegfilgrastim arm. Efficacy for both trials was based on the duration of severe neutropenia (DSN) in Cycle 1. Efficacy results are shown in Table 2 .
In both studies, Rolvedon was non-inferior to pegfilgrastim. The distributions of the severe neutropenia events in percentage from Cycle 1 for Study 1 and Study 2 are presented in Figure 1. Table 2.
Duration of Severe Neutropenia (DSN) in Cycle 1 (Study 1 and Study 2) a Confidence intervals were obtained using 2.5 percentile and 97.5 percentile of the 100,000 bootstrap samples with treatment as stratification factor. *The non-inferiority of Rolvedon to pegfilgrastim was to be declared if the upper bound of 95% CI of the difference in mean DSN between the treatment arms was <0.62 days.
