−Removed: or that are not otherwise consistent with the approved, FDA-required label (known as “off-label use”), limitations on industry-sponsored
−Removed: scientific and educational activities, and requirements for promotional activities involving the internet.
−Removed: Although physicians may prescribe
−Removed: legally available products for off-label use if they deem such use to be appropriate in their professional medical judgment, manufacturers
−Removed: may not market or promote such off-label uses.
−Removed: Also, quality
−Removed: control and manufacturing procedures must continue to conform to cGMPs to ensure and preserve the long-term stability of the drug product.
−Removed: cGMP regulations require among other things, quality control and quality assurance as well as the corresponding maintenance of records

−Removed: Manufacturers and other entities involved in

−Removed: Changes to the manufacturing process are

−Removed: The data package necessary for approval
−Removed: of this new drug requires demonstration of safety and efficacy based on adequate and well controlled human clinical trials conducted
−Removed: by or for the sponsor, without allowance for reference to third party data.
−Removed: In contrast, Section 505(b)(2) of the FDCA provides an alternative
−Removed: NDA process for approving a new drug that contains the same active ingredient as a previously approved product but allows sponsors to
−Removed: rely on clinical trials not conducted by or for the sponsor, as well as other clinical data or literature produced by other parties.
−Removed: In addition, Section 505(j) of the FDCA provides for a significantly shortened regulatory pathway for approval of a “generic”
−Removed: version of a new drug, by way of an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”).
−Removed: Rather than demonstrating safety and effectiveness as required
−Removed: for an NDA, the ANDA requires proof that the generic drug is the “same” as or “bioequivalent” to the new drug
−Removed: under the standard of “bioequivalence,” often using pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and/or in vitro studies.

+Added: from cGMP and impose reporting and documentation requirements upon us and any third-party manufacturers that we may decide to use.
+Added: manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP and other
+Added: aspects of regulatory compliance.
+Added: Our licensees rely, and expect to continue to rely, on third parties
+Added: to produce commercial quantities of our licensed drugs.
+Added: Future FDA and state inspections may identify compliance issues at the facilities
+Added: of the manufacturers of our licensed products that may disrupt production or distribution or require substantial resources to correct.
+Added: In addition, discovery of previously unknown problems (for example, through adverse events observed in the post-marketing context, or
+Added: in Phase 4/post-marketing studies) with a product or the failure to comply with applicable requirements may result in restrictions on
+Added: a product, manufacturer, or holder of an approved NDA, including withdrawal or recall of the product from the market or other voluntary,
+Added: FDA-initiated or judicial action that could delay or prohibit further marketing.
+Added: Newly discovered or developed safety or effectiveness
+Added: data may require changes to a product’s approved labeling, including the addition of new warnings and contraindications, and may
+Added: require the implementation of other risk management measures.
+Added: Also, new government requirements, including those resulting from new legislation,
+Added: may be established, or the FDA’s policies may change, which could delay or prevent regulatory approval of our products.
+Added: Regulatory exclusivity
+Added: There are two types of NDAs available under Section 505(b) of the
+Added: Section 505(b)(1) of the FDCA provides a marketing approval pathway that is known as the “traditional” or “full”
+Added: Sponsors use 505(b)(1) applications to obtain marketing approval of a new drug with active ingredients that have not previously
+Added: been approved by FDA.
+Added: The data package necessary for approval of this new drug requires demonstration of safety and efficacy based on
+Added: adequate and well controlled human clinical trials conducted by or for the sponsor, without allowance for reference to third party data.
+Added: In contrast, Section 505(b)(2) of the FDCA provides an alternative NDA process for approving a new drug that contains the same active
+Added: ingredient as a previously approved product but allows sponsors to rely on clinical trials not conducted by or for the sponsor, as well
+Added: as other clinical data or literature produced by other parties.
+Added: In addition, Section 505(j) of the FDCA provides for a significantly
+Added: shortened regulatory pathway for approval of a “generic” version of a new drug, by way of an Abbreviated New Drug Application
+Added: Rather than demonstrating safety and effectiveness as required for an NDA, the ANDA requires proof that the generic
+Added: drug is the “same” as or “bioequivalent” to the new drug under the standard of “bioequivalence,”
+Added: often using pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and/or in vitro studies.
+Added: A Section 505(b) NDA applicant may be eligible for its own regulatory
+Added: exclusivity period, such as a five-year or three-year exclusivity.
+Added: The first approved Section 505(b) NDA applicant for a drug containing
+Added: an active ingredient that has not previously been approved in any other 505(b) NDA (a “new chemical entity,” or “NCE”),
+Added: is eligible for a five-year NCE exclusivity period starting on the date of the NDA approval.
+Added: An ANDA or 505(b)(2) application for a drug
+Added: containing the protected active ingredient of the NCE product generally cannot be submitted to FDA until the end of the five-year exclusivity
+Added: period, except that such applications can be submitted at year four if the product is covered by an Orange Book listed patent and the
+Added: ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA includes a Paragraph IV Certification challenging such patent.
Additional exclusivities may also apply.
−Removed: approved Section 505(b) NDA applicant for a particular condition, or a supplemental NDA approval for a change to a marketed product,
−Removed: such as a new extended-release formulation for a previously approved product, may be eligible for a three-year Hatch-Waxman exclusivity
−Removed: if one or more new clinical studies, other than bioavailability or bioequivalence studies, was essential to the approval of the application
−Removed: and was conducted or sponsored by the applicant.
−Removed: Should this occur, the FDA would be precluded from granting final approval to any ANDA
−Removed: or 505(b)(2) application for the same condition of use or change to the marketed product that was granted exclusivity until after that
−Removed: three-year exclusivity period has run.
−Removed: Additionally,
−Removed: any ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA that references the 505(b) product must include one of several types of patent certifications.
−Removed: If the Section
−Removed: 505(b) NDA drug has one or more unexpired patents listed in the Orange Book, an ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA must include either a “Paragraph
−Removed: III Certification” or a “Paragraph IV Certification.” A Paragraph III Certification identifies the expiration date
−Removed: of the listed patent and requires FDA to withhold final approval until that patent has expired.
−Removed: A “Paragraph IV Certification”
−Removed: states that, in the applicant’s opinion, the relevant patent is invalid, unenforceable, or would not be infringed by the commercial
−Removed: marketing of the proposed ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA product.
−Removed: The sponsor of a Paragraph IV ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA must also provide the holder
−Removed: of the marketed product NDA, and the owner of the challenged patent, with notification of the Paragraph IV filing along with a detailed
−Removed: statement of the reasons the applicant believes the patent is invalid, unenforceable, or would not be infringed.
−Removed: If the patent owner
−Removed: brings an infringement action against the Paragraph IV applicant within 45 days of the notification, a statutory stay is imposed which
−Removed: prevents FDA from granting final approval of the Paragraph IV application for 30 months from the date of the Paragraph IV Notification.
−Removed: Generally, no more than one 30-month stay may be applied against any specific Paragraph IV ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA.
−Removed: A 30-month stay can
−Removed: be terminated early, and the Paragraph IV application can be immediately approved, if the district court rules in favor of the Paragraph
−Removed: IV applicant that the patent is invalid, unenforceable, or would not be infringed.

−Removed: In April 2020, we filed a complaint for patent infringement against Amneal in the
−Removed: District Court for the District of New Jersey arising from Amneal’s ANDA filing with FDA.
−Removed: In December 2021, we entered into

−Removed: Pharmaceuticals of New York LLC (collectively “Amneal”) to resolve the litigation over our patents listed in FDA’s
−Removed: Orange Book that claim compositions and methods of BIJUVA (the “BIJUVA Patents”).
−Removed: Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement,
−Removed: the Company granted Amneal a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to commercialize Amneal’s generic formulation
−Removed: of BIJUVA in the U.S.
−Removed: commencing in May 2032 (180 days before the current expiration date in November 2032 for the last to expire of
