Esperion (NASDAQ: ESPR) announced a settlement with Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories resolving ANDA litigation over NEXLETOL and NEXLIZET. Under the agreement, Dr. Reddy’s will not market generic versions in the U.S. before April 19, 2040, except for customary limited exceptions. Esperion previously settled with Micro Labs, Hetero and Accord earlier in 2025. Esperion’s U.S. Patent No. 7,335,799 (bempedoic acid) expires December 2030; with this settlement there are no remaining challenges to that patent’s validity or infringement in the pending litigation. Other Esperion patents at issue expire March 2036 and June 2040. Litigation continues against several other ANDA filers, and there is no assurance those cases won’t permit earlier generic entry.

This approval marks NEXLETOL's entry into the third-largest global market for cardiovascular prevention.
The approval triggers milestone payments to Esperion under their partnership agreement with Otsuka, which includes tiered royalties of 15-30% on net sales in Japan and additional sales milestone payments. NEXLETOL, a non-statin LDL-C lowering therapy, is now approved across the U.S., Europe, and Japan, establishing a strong global presence for Esperion's cholesterol treatment.
Esperion (NASDAQ: ESPR) announced that bempedoic acid has received a prestigious Level 1a recommendation in the 2025 European Society of Cardiology (ESC)/European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) Guidelines for Dyslipidaemias management.
The guidelines specifically recommend bempedoic acid as the only non-statin newly recommended treatment for LDL-C lowering and cardiovascular risk reduction. Key recommendations include using bempedoic acid for patients unable to take statins (Class I, Level A/B) and considering its addition to maximum statin doses with/without ezetimibe for high-risk patients (Class IIa, Level C).
This recognition supports Esperion's strategic development of oral triple combination therapies, aligning with the guidelines' emphasis on earlier, aggressive combination therapy. The company's portfolio includes NEXLETOL (bempedoic acid), NEXLIZET (bempedoic acid and ezetimibe), and upcoming triple combinations with atorvastatin or rosuvastatin.
