What the date means

Entyvio's US exclusivity date is based on company guidance. The date comes from the company's own filings or guidance. Secondary patents, new formulations or litigation can still move it. It is a biologic, so copies are biosimilars. Biosimilars are harder to make and usually erode sales more gradually than generics.

Medicare price negotiation

Entyvio was selected for the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program. CMS is negotiating its Medicare price now; the price takes effect in 2028 and is due to be published by 30 November 2026. That is 4 years before US biosimilars can launch, so Medicare revenue comes under pressure first. For the 25 drugs negotiated so far, Medicare prices came in 38% to 85% below list price. Those discounts are measured before the rebates drugmakers already pay and apply to Medicare only.
