Tonix sues Dr. Reddy's over TONMYA generic; ANDA filing triggers up to 30-month FDA approval stay
Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp.
- Dr. Reddy's sent an Oct. 1, 2026 notice that it filed an ANDA with a Paragraph IV certification for generic TONMYA (cyclobenzaprine HCl) sublingual tablets, 2.8 mg.
- Tonix filed a patent infringement complaint Nov. 13, 2026 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd. and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Inc.
- Complaint asserts Orange Book patents 9,636,408; 9,956,188; 10,117,936; and 10,864,175, and seeks FDA approval no earlier than the last patent's expiration.
- Timely filing triggers a statutory stay of final FDA approval of Dr. Reddy's ANDA for up to 30 months, subject to exceptions and court orders.
- Tonix cautions that its patents could be found invalid, unenforceable or not infringed, and generic competition could hurt TONMYA sales.
