No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/ca_rx_new_drug_launches for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

California manufacturer disclosures of a NEW prescription drug launched with a Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC — published list price) exceeding the Medicare Part D specialty-drug cost threshold — California’s “launch price” transparency requirement, filed with HCAI’s Cost Transparency Rx (CTRx) program (same law as ca_rx_wac_increases, different trigger: a NEW drug’s starting price rather than an existing drug’s price increase). Search by drug name/fragment or manufacturer, optionally pinned to one report year (2019-present). Returns the launch WAC, estimated patient population, and breakthrough-therapy/priority-review FDA designations when disclosed. California-only. Keyless.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`drug`	string	no	Drug name or fragment, e.g. “Vraylar”, “Opdualag”.
`manufacturer`	string	no	Manufacturer name or fragment, e.g. “AbbVie”, “Bristol Myers Squibb”.
`year`	string	no	Report year, “2019”..“2026”. Omit to search every available year.
`limit`	number	no	Max records to return, 1-100 (default 25).
