## What's in it
|
| 26 |
+
Files: `data.json`. Main table `stalledGenerics` (7 rows): `brand`, `generic`, `category`, `firstGenericYear`, `twelveMonthRetainedPct`, `stallDriver`.
|
| 27 |
+
|
| 28 |
+
## Method
|
| 29 |
+
Aggregates computed from RxGrab drug-database.json cross-referenced against FDA Orange Book, Drugs@FDA, CMS NADAC public files, GAO and ASPE drug pricing reports, IQVIA Use of Medicines public data, GoodRx public coupon-low prices, and Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs catalog. Price-drop percentage compares pre-generic brand cash price to post-generic median cash price 24 months after first ANDA approval. Stalled-generic flag applies where post-generic price retained 50 percent or more of pre-generic brand price for 12 or more months after first launch. Time-to-first-generic measured from FDA Orange Book composition-of-matter patent expiry (or settlement-permitted entry date) to first ANDA approval recorded in Drugs@FDA.
