DrugPatentWatch® Generic Entry Outlook for Viberzi

Viberzi was eligible for patent challenges on May 27, 2019.

By analyzing the patents and regulatory protections it appears that the earliest date for generic entry will be March 14, 2033. This may change due to patent challenges or generic licensing.

There have been seven patent litigation cases involving the patents protecting this drug, indicating strong interest in generic launch. Recent data indicate that 63% of patent challenges are decided in favor of the generic patent challenger and that 54% of successful patent challengers promptly launch generic drugs.

There are two tentative approvals for the generic drug (eluxadoline), which indicates the potential for near-term generic launch.
