Tipped to bring in sales of $500m or more by 2030, Arcutis Biotherapeutics’ Zoryve 0.3% cream has become the target of an ANDA filed by Padagis, a partner of Sol-Gel Technologies. The originator responded with an immediate suit to shut down any potential generic launch in the near term.

Executive changes at both Viatris and Teva in 2023 saw the companies shift their focus towards the innovator industry. Plus, trade groups saw some significant personnel shakeups, Alvotech expressed hope that new hires would help to resolve manufacturing approval issues, Biocon made changes to its management structure, and more.

Hyloris has received US approval for its generic podofilox gel, previously referred to as HY-016.

Padagis has set out two first-to-file ANDA submissions in the US, challenging Hikma’s Kloxxado as well as Evofem’s Phexxi. The former Perrigo Rx business has also just launched two limited-competition generics.
