🩺 Clinical
Zopapogene imadenovec-drba injection is used with surgery to treat recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP; a chronic viral infection that causes wart-like tumors to grow in air passages from the nose and mouth to the lungs). Zopapogene imadenovec-drba is in a class of medications called immune therapy. It works by helping the body's immune system fight the virus that causes RRP. It also helps to decrease the number of surgeries needed for RRP.

⏳ 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 | Aug 14, 2037 |

👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data with PAPZIMEOS in pregnant women. Animal reproductive and developmental toxicity studies have not been conducted with PAPZIMEOS. In the PRGN-2012-201 study, one patient reported pregnancy at 6 months following completion of treatment with PAPZIMEOS.
The patient delivered at 40 weeks without any reported birth complications or neonatal concerns. 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.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There is no information available on the presence of PAPZIMEOS 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 PAPZIMEOS and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from PAPZIMEOS or from the underlying maternal condition.
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of PAPZIMEOS have not been established in pediatric patients.
8.5Geriatric Use There were 9 patients (24%) 65 years of age and older and 1 patient (3%) 75 years of age and older in Study PRGN-2012-201. Clinical studies of PAPZIMEOS did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action PAPZIMEOS is a non-replicating adenoviral vector-based immunotherapy designed to express a fusion antigen of selected regions of human papillomavirus (HPV) proteins expressed in HPV 6- and HPV 11-infected cells. PAPZIMEOS is designed to generate an immune response directed against HPV 6 and HPV 11 proteins in patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.
12.2Pharmacodynamics The pharmacodynamic effect of PAPZIMEOS was evaluated in Study PRGN-2012-201 [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . In 28 patients evaluated at completion of treatment, the induction of HPV 6- and HPV 11-specific T cell responses in RRP patients, was higher in RRP patients demonstrating a clinical response to treatment, i.e. reduction in or elimination of the requirement for surgical debulking during the 12 months following completion of treatment, with mean fold-change from baseline of 164.9 versus 5.1 (p<0.018).
This difference persisted at 12 weeks post-treatment, with mean fold-change of 61.5 in responders versus 11.5 in non-responders.
12.3Pharmacokinetics No biodistribution and vector shedding studies have been conducted with PAPZIMEOS.
