By contrast, generic drug manufacturers can start litigation earlier due to shorter development times and less stringent clinical requirements, allowing them to launch immediately after the primary patent expires.

Prices of anticancer medicines (including chemically synthesized medicines and biologics manufactured from living organisms) are a subject of concern, as they contribute to spending by health plans and patients. We describe prices and evaluate the impact of competition among 185 anticancer medicines, using IQVIA data from the period October 2014-February 2020. We calculated the price of each medicine, defined as volume-weighted wholesale costs net of prompt-pay discounts and gross of rebates, without and with inflation adjustment, and summarized them by patent status, formulation, and therapeutic class.

In health insurance, "moral hazard" describes the concept that coverage without an out-of-pocket cost to consumers could result in health care utilization beyond economically efficient levels.
