Alembic Pharmaceuticals announced that it has received tentative approval from the US Food & Drug Administration (USFDA) for its Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for fesoterodine fumarate extended release tablets, 4 mg and 8 mg. The tentatively approved ANDA is therapeutically equivalent to the reference listed drug product (RLD) Toviaz extended release tablets, 4 mg and 8 mg, of Pfizer.
The tablets are indicated for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) in adults with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and frequency. It may not be indicated for certain other uses due to unexpired exclusivities for the RI-D for such uses.
It has an estimated market size of US $ 225 million for twelve months ending September 2021 according to IQVIA.
Alembic has received year to date (YTD) 20 approvals (14 final approvals and 6 tentative approvals) and a cumulative total of 159 ANDA approvals (137 final approvals arid 22 tentative approvals) from USFDA.
