USFDA approval

In a major win for patients and healthcare providers, Lupin Limited (Lupin), a leading global pharmaceutical company, announced today that it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval (USFDA approval) for its generic version of Rydapt® capsules (midostaurin) 25 mg.

This approval allows Lupin to market a more affordable treatment option for patients battling aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM), systemic mastocytosis with associated hematological neoplasm (SM-AHN), and mast cell leukemia (MCL).

Treatment Options for Rare Blood Cancers

What are ASM, SM-AHN, and MCL?

These are rare and aggressive types of blood cancers that arise from mast cells, a type of white blood cell involved in the immune system’s response to allergies.

How does midostaurin work?

Midostaurin is a targeted therapy that works by blocking specific signaling pathways that promote the growth and survival of abnormal mast cells.

A More Affordable Treatment Option

  • Rydapt, the brand name drug for midostaurin, had estimated annual sales of USD 75 million in the U.S. (IQVIA MAT March 2024).
  • Lupin’s generic USFDA approval paves the way for increased access to this critical treatment for patients, potentially leading to significant cost savings for healthcare systems.
