−Removed: Under the Hatch-Waxman Act, the FDA can approve Abbreviated New Drug Applications (“ANDAs”) for generic versions of drugs if the ANDA applicant demonstrates, among other things, that (i) its generic candidate is the same as the innovator product by establishing bioequivalence and providing relevant chemistry, manufacturing and product data, and (ii) either the marketing of that generic candidate does not infringe the Orange Book-listed patent(s) or the Orange Book-listed patent(s) is invalid.
−Removed: Similarly, the FDA can approve a Section 505(b)(2) NDA from an applicant that relies on some of the information required for marketing approval from studies which the applicant does not own or have a legal right of reference.
−Removed: With respect to the Orange Book-listed patent(s) covering an innovator product, the ANDA or Section 505(b)(2) applicant (if relying on studies related to the innovator product) (each, the “Applicant”) must give a notice (a “Notice”) to the innovator of its certification that its generic candidate will not infringe the innovator’s Orange Book-listed patent(s) or that the Orange Book-listed patent(s) is invalid.
−Removed: The innovator can then file suit against the Applicant within 45 days of receiving the Notice, and FDA approval to commercialize the generic candidate will be stayed (that is, delayed) for up to 30 months (measured from the date on which a Notice is received) while the patent dispute between the innovator and the Applicant is resolved in court.
−Removed: The 30-month stay could potentially expire sooner if the courts determine that no infringement had occurred or that the challenged Orange Book-listed patent is invalid or if the parties otherwise settle their dispute.
−Removed: As of the date of filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have not received any Notice from an Applicant.
−Removed: If we were to (i) receive any such Notice in the future, (ii) bring a patent infringement suit against the Applicant within 45 days of receiving that Notice, and (iii) successfully obtain the full 30-month stay, then the Applicant would be precluded from commercializing a generic version of DEFINITY prior to the expiration of that 30-month stay period and, potentially, thereafter, depending on how the patent dispute is resolved.
−Removed: Solely by way of example and not based on any knowledge we currently have, if we received a Notice from an Applicant in March 2022 and the full 30-month stay were obtained, then the Applicant would be precluded from commercialization until at least September 2024.
−Removed: If we received a Notice some number of months in the future and the full 30-month stay were obtained, the commercialization date would roll forward in the future by the same number of months.
−Removed: In the event a 505(b)(2) applicant does not rely on studies related to the innovator product, the 30-month stay would not apply, but additional clinical studies may be required.

−Removed: If FDA approval of manufacturing sites is delayed or withdrawn, our future business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected.
+Added: Because each of the PMFs manufacturing these products is deemed by the FDA to be a separate manufacturing site, each had to be separately approved by the FDA.
+Added: As of December 31, 2022, we had activated 37 PMF manufacturing sites in our PMF network, up from 21 activated sites as of December 31, 2021.
+Added: These additional sites provide geographic breadth, out-the-door time flexibility and added optionality within our existing PMF network.
+Added: Overall, we have achieved broad national distribution of PYLARIFY with customers in 46 of 50 states, including the District of Columbia.
In addition to our network of PMFs, we have also been working with academic medical centers in the U.S.
−Removed: that have radioisotope-producing cyclotrons and which have expressed an interest in manufacturing PYLARIFY.
−Removed: Under this initiative, we would enter into a fee-for-service arrangement under which the academic medical center’s PMF would manufacture and supply batches of PYLARIFY, and its radiopharmacy would prepare patient-ready unit doses, in each case for and on behalf of us.
−Removed: We would then sell
−Removed: those unit doses to the academic medical center’s hospitals and clinics, and in some instances, to additional customers in the academic medical center’s geographic area, in each case, under separate purchase agreements.
−Removed: The academic medical center’s PMF’s ability to manufacture and supply batches of PYLARIFY will be subject to FDA approval, and we can give no assurance that the FDA will approve such PMFs in accordance with our planned roll-out schedule.
−Removed: Our commercial launch also required us to obtain adequate coding, coverage and payment for PYLARIFY, including not only coverage from Medicare, Medicaid and other government payors, as well as private payors, but also appropriate payment levels to adequately cover our customers’ costs of using PYLARIFY in PET/CT imaging procedures.
−Removed: We received notification that our Healthcare Procedure Coding System (“HCPCS”) code, which enables streamlined billing, went into effect as of January 1, 2022.
−Removed: In addition, effective January 1, 2022, CMS granted Transitional Pass-Through Payment Status in the hospital outpatient setting (“TPT Status”) for PYLARIFY, enabling traditional Medicare to provide an incremental payment to our customers for PET/CT scans performed with PYLARIFY in that setting.
+Added: that have radioisotope-producing cyclotrons who have expressed an interest in manufacturing PYLARIFY.
+Added: For this initiative, we enter into a fee-for-service arrangement under which the academic medical center manufactures F 18 on its cyclotron and completes the manufacturing process for PYLARIFY.
+Added: PYLARIFY can then be used by the academic medical center itself, and in some cases distributed to other customers under separate purchase agreements.
+Added: Our commercial launch also required obtaining adequate coding, coverage and payment for PYLARIFY, including not only coverage from Medicare, Medicaid and other government payors, as well as private payors, but also appropriate payment levels to adequately cover our customers’ costs of using PYLARIFY in PSMA PET/CT imaging procedures.
+Added: The Healthcare Procedure Coding System (“HCPCS”) code, which enables streamlined billing went into effect as of January 1, 2022.
+Added: In addition, effective January 1, 2022, CMS granted Transitional Pass-Through Payment Status (“TPT Status”) under the Hospital Outpatient Prospect Payment System (“OPPS”) for PYLARIFY, enabling CMS to provide separate payment for PET/CT scans performed with PYLARIFY.
+Added: Note that TPT only applies to traditional fee-for-service Medicare in the hospital outpatient setting.
TPT Status for PYLARIFY is expected to expire December 31, 2024.
−Removed: After TPT Status expires, under current Medicare rules, PYLARIFY, similar to other diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals, would not be separately reimbursed in the hospital outpatient setting but rather would be included as part of the facility fee a hospital otherwise receives for a PET/CT imaging procedure, and the facility fee does not always cover the cost of a drug used in the procedure.
−Removed: We can give no assurance that any CMS reimbursement in the hospital outpatient setting that follows the expiration of TPT Status will be adequate to cover the cost of PYLARIFY used in a PET/CT imaging procedure.
+Added: After TPT Status expires, under current Medicare rules, PYLARIFY, similar to other diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals, would not be separately reimbursed in the hospital outpatient setting, but rather would be bundled into the facility payment a hospital receives for a PET/CT imaging procedure, and the facility payment may not always adequately cover the total cost of the procedure.
+Added: Our successful growth of PYLARIFY will depend on our ability to maintain PYLARIFY as the leading PSMA PET imaging agent in a competitive environment in which other PSMA PET imaging agents have been approved and additional ones are in development.
+Added: PYLARIFY’s current competition is primarily two commercially available Gallium-68 (“Ga-68”)-based PSMA imaging agents, as well as other non-PSMA-based imaging agents.
+Added: We may also face competition from an F 18 PSMA PET imaging agent currently under review by the FDA.
We actively pursue patents in connection with PYLARIFY, both in the U.S.
