Each drug page lists sources for these entries. Brand sales show the size of the market, not Ascent's share of it.

Where Ascent stands

Ascent has FDA approval for Xarelto, with no US launch confirmed; and applications filed for Xtandi. It has settled with the brand owner over 1 drug. Of the 70 makers we follow, 31 are lined up to copy more of the drugs on this tracker.

What comes next

Copies with no confirmed US launch, by the earliest year each could reach the market: a settlement date where one is public, otherwise the brand's US exclusivity date. "Now" means that date has passed. Court rulings and new patents can move these.
