Clinical Trials
Recent Clinical Trials on Menostar:
Sometimes companies keep conducting clinical trials even after the drug's approval to discover new formulations, methods of use, or new treatment indications, so they could file for additional patents or receive regulatory exclusivity extensions, such as pediatric exclusivity, potentially delaying generic competition. Based on these recent clinical trials, generic companies need to consider the potential for new intellectual property or regulatory hurdles. These strategic moves by the drug owner might delay generic substitution or lead to additional sales of the brand drug, even after patent expiry.
Menostar's
generic launch date based on the expiry of its last outstanding patent is estimated to be Nov 21, 2017 (This date is subject to change depending upon the patent filing activities by the drug owner or exclusivity additions to its drug application)
