What the date means

Tagrisso's US exclusivity date is based on patent-expiry estimate. It is estimated from patent expiry rather than a fixed entry date, so it may move as patents are challenged or extended. It is a small-molecule drug, so copies are generics. Generic launches usually take most of the US volume within months.
