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.

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 practice. The pooled safety population described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflects exposure to ENSACOVE as a single agent in 458 patients with locally advanced or metastatic ALK-positive NSCLC in the following trials: eXALT3 Study (N=143) [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 ) ], Study 101 (NCT01625234, N=98), Study BTP-28311 (NCT02959619, N=35), and Study BTP-42322 (NCT03215693, N=182).
Patients received ENSACOVE 225 mg orally once daily, with or without food, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Among 458 patients who received ENSACOVE, 63% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 47% were exposed for greater than one year. In this pooled safety population, the most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were rash, musculoskeletal pain, constipation, pruritus, cough, nausea, edema, vomiting, fatigue, and pyrexia.
The most frequent Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities (≥2%) were increased uric acid, decreased lymphocytes, increased alanine aminotransferase, decreased phosphate, increased gamma glutamyl transferase, increased magnesium, increased amylase, decreased sodium, increased glucose, decreased hemoglobin, increased bilirubin, decreased potassium, and increased creatine phosphokinase. TKI-naive ALK-Positive Locally Advanced or Metastatic NSCLC The safety of ENSACOVE was evaluated in the eXALT3 study [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 ) ].
Patients received ENSACOVE 225 mg orally once daily, with or without food, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity . Among patients who received ENSACOVE, 78% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 66% were exposed for greater than one year.

👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation : Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 ) Severe Hepatic Impairment: Avoid use of ENSACOVE in patients with severe hepatic impairment. (8.6 )
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] , ENSACOVE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of ENSACOVE in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. Oral administration of ensartinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes, including embryo-fetal mortality, alterations to growth, and structural abnormalities.
Adverse embryo-fetal findings were seen at maternal exposures approximately equivalent to the human exposure at the recommended dose of 225 mg/day based on AUC ( see Data ). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.
Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study, pregnant rats received 20, 40, or 80 mg/kg/day of ensartinib during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 6 to 17). Ensartinib doses ≥40 mg/kg/day (approximately equivalent to the human exposure at the recommended dose of 225 mg/day based on AUC) resulted in an increase in the incidence of fetal malformations (aortic dislocation, ventricular septal defect, separated vertebrae) and dose-dependent delayed skeletal development, including decreased or delayed ossification of the vertebrae.
Ensartinib at 80 mg/kg (approximately 6.4 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 225 mg/day based on AUC) resulted in maternal toxicity (reduced body weight and food consumption), decreased fetal body weight, increased pre- and post-implantation loss, decreases in the number of live fetuses, and visceral variations (missing renal papillae, pyelectasis).
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of ensartinib or its metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with ENSACOVE and for 1 week after the last dose.
8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential ENSACOVE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 ) ]. Pregnancy Testing Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating ENSACOVE. Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ENSACOVE and for at 1 week after the last dose.
Males Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ENSACOVE and for 1 week after the last dose.
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of ENSACOVE in pediatric patients have not been established.
8.5Geriatric Use Of the 458 patients enrolled in clinical studies and received ENSACOVE 225 mg once daily, 16% of the participants were aged 65 years or older. Clinical studies of ENSACOVE did not include sufficient numbers of patients ages 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients. Exploratory analysis suggests a higher incidence of serious adverse events (43% vs 27%), more frequent adverse events leading to treatment discontinuations (18% vs 10%) and dose modifications (34% vs 16%) in patients 65 years or older as compared to those younger than 65 years.

🤰 Pregnancy ▾
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] , ENSACOVE can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of ENSACOVE in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. Oral administration of ensartinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused adverse developmental outcomes, including embryo-fetal mortality, alterations to growth, and structural abnormalities.
Adverse embryo-fetal findings were seen at maternal exposures approximately equivalent to the human exposure at the recommended dose of 225 mg/day based on AUC ( see Data ). Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.
Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study, pregnant rats received 20, 40, or 80 mg/kg/day of ensartinib during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 6 to 17). Ensartinib doses ≥40 mg/kg/day (approximately equivalent to the human exposure at the recommended dose of 225 mg/day based on AUC) resulted in an increase in the incidence of fetal malformations (aortic dislocation, ventricular septal defect, separated vertebrae) and dose-dependent delayed skeletal development, including decreased or delayed ossification of the vertebrae.
Ensartinib at 80 mg/kg (approximately 6.4 times the human exposure at the recommended dose of 225 mg/day based on AUC) resulted in maternal toxicity (reduced body weight and food consumption), decreased fetal body weight, increased pre- and post-implantation loss, decreases in the number of live fetuses, and visceral variations (missing renal papillae, pyelectasis).
🧒 Pediatric Use ▾
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of ENSACOVE in pediatric patients have not been established.
🧓 Geriatric Use ▾
8.5Geriatric Use Of the 458 patients enrolled in clinical studies and received ENSACOVE 225 mg once daily, 16% of the participants were aged 65 years or older. Clinical studies of ENSACOVE did not include sufficient numbers of patients ages 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients. Exploratory analysis suggests a higher incidence of serious adverse events (43% vs 27%), more frequent adverse events leading to treatment discontinuations (18% vs 10%) and dose modifications (34% vs 16%) in patients 65 years or older as compared to those younger than 65 years.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Ensartinib is a kinase inhibitor of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and inhibits other kinases including MET and ROS1. In vitro, ensartinib inhibited phosphorylation of ALK and its downstream signaling proteins AKT, ERK, and S6, thereby blocking ALK-mediated signaling pathways and inhibiting proliferation in cell lines harboring ALK fusions and mutations. In vivo, ensartinib showed anti-tumor activity in a mouse xenograft model of human NSCLC harboring an ALK fusion.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Exposure-response relationship Ensartinib exposure-response relationships and the time course of the pharmacodynamic response have not been fully characterized. Cardiac Electrophysiology At the approved recommended dosage, a mean increase in the QTc interval > 20 ms was not observed.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Ensartinib mean (coefficient of variation [CV%]) maximum concentration (Cmax) is 292 ng/mL (60%), and the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0–24h) is 4,920 ng·h /ml (62%) at the approved recommended dosage. Ensartinib steady state is reached within 15 days with a mean accumulation ratio of 2.7. Absorption Ensartinib median (minimum, maximum) time to reach Cmax (Tmax) at steady state is 3 hours (2, 8 hours).
Effect of Food No clinically significant differences in ensartinib pharmacokinetics were observed following administration of ENSACOVE with a high-fat meal (total 800-1000 calories, > 50% fat) compared to fasted conditions. Distribution Ensartinib mean (CV%) apparent volume of distribution is 1,720 L (42%). Ensartinib is 91.6% bound to human plasma protein.
Elimination Ensartinib mean (standard deviation [SD]) steady-state half-life (t1/2) is 30 (20) hours. Metabolism Ensartinib is predominantly metabolized by CYP3A. Excretion Following a single oral 200 mg dose of radiolabeled ensartinib, 91% of the radioactivity was recovered in feces (38% as unchanged) and 10% in urine (4.4% as unchanged).
Specific Populations No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of ensartinib were observed based on age (20 to 86 years), sex, race (Asian vs White), body weight (38 to 148 kg), mild to moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 to 89 mL/min) and mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN) and AST > ULN or total bilirubin 1 to 1.5 x ULN and any AST). The effect of severe renal impairment (eGFR 15 to 29 mL/min), end-stage renal disease (eGFR <15 mL/min) with or without hemodialysis, and moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 to ≤ 3 ULN and any AST) or severe (total bilirubin >3 times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment on ensartinib pharmacokinetics is unknown.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES
14.1TKI-naive ALK-Positive Locally Advanced or Metastatic NSCLC (eXALT3 Study) The efficacy of ENSACOVE was evaluated in eXALT3 (NCT02767804), an open-label, randomized, active-controlled, multicenter study in adult patients with locally advanced (stage IIIB following prior chemotherapy or chemoradiation or not amenable to curative intent therapy) or metastatic ALK-positive NSCLC. Patients were required to have ALK-positive NSCLC in tumor specimens as determined in local laboratories using immunohistochemistry (IHC), next-generation sequencing (NGS), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) tests.
Of these patients, 85% (247/290) had centrally confirmed ALK rearrangements with the Vysis Break Apart FISH Probe Kit. Patients could have received one prior regimen of chemotherapy but could not have previously received an ALK-targeted therapy; patients with an ECOG performance status of 0, 1, or 2 were eligible. Patients with asymptomatic, untreated brain metastases who were not on corticosteroids and patients with asymptomatic, treated brain metastases who were on stable or decreasing dose of corticosteroids were eligible.
Patients were required to have completed radiation therapy at least 2 weeks, or chemotherapy at least 4 weeks, prior to enrollment. Patients with leptomeningeal disease were ineligible. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive ENSACOVE 225 mg orally once daily or crizotinib 250 mg orally twice daily in 28-day cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Randomization was stratified by prior chemotherapy (0 vs. 1), ECOG performance status (0 or 1 vs. 2), presence of central nervous system (CNS) metastases (yes or no), and geographic region (Asia vs. the rest of the world).
Tumor assessments were performed every 8 weeks. The main efficacy outcome measure was progression-free survival (PFS) as evaluated by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) according to RECIST version 1.1. The key secondary efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS); other secondary outcome measures included CNS response rate, time to CNS progression, and overall response rate (ORR).
A total of 290 patients were randomized to ENSACOVE (n=143) or crizotinib (n=147). The baseline demographic characteristics of the overall study population were median age 54 years (range: 25-90); 16% age > 65 years; 51% male; 56% Asian; 41% White and 1% Black; 7% Hispanic or Latino; ECOG PS 0 or 1 (95%); and 62% never smokers. Patients had Stage IIIB (8%) or Stage IV NSCLC (92%); 32% had received prior chemotherapy and 17% had received prior radiation.
Baseline CNS metastases were present in 36% of the patients. The eXALT3 study demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in PFS for patients randomized to ENSACOVE compared to patients randomized to crizotinib. The efficacy results as assessed by BICR are summarized in Table 6 and Figure 1.
