Hence, various key players in the market have developed the generic version of Pemetrexed and gained its approval from regulatory bodies. Launch of the generic version is expected to rise affordability and support pemetrexed market growth. However, it is expected to affect Eli Lilly and Company’s Alimta market share.

For instance, on July 17, 2018, the German Federal Patent Court declared the German section of European patent EP 1 313 508 for Alimta, which would originally have run until 2021, void. Hence, following this in July 2018, STADAPHARM GmbH, the subsidiary of STADA Arzneimittel AG launched Pemetrexed STADA generic version of Alimta in Europe.

In 2017, Eagle Pharmaceuticals Inc. received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration tentative approval for its diluted version of Eli Lilly and Company blockbuster cancer drug Alimta.

Eli Lilly and Company is dedicated to frequent research and development in order to expand the indication of Alimta and to generate high revenue benefits.

For instance, in June 2018, Eli Lilly and Company received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for a new indication for ALIMTA (pemetrexed for injection) in combination with carboplatin and KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) for the initial treatment of patients with metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), irrespective of PD-L1 expression status. Approval for Pemetrexed (Alimta) for multiple indications is expected to support and drive the global Pemetrexed market growth over the forecast period.

Furthermore, Eli Lilly and Company is focused and working to prevent the launch of a generic version of Alimta in the U.S. from where Alimta generates about 50% of its revenue. For instance, in June 2018, Eli Lilly and Company received the favorable result from U.S. District Court and prevented Hospira Inc. and India’s Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories from launching a generic version of Alimta until the patent expires in 2022.
