Amgen Inc's Otezla drug patents have been upheld, preventing Zydus Pharmaceuticals and Novartis' Sandoz Inc from producing generic versions of the blockbuster psoriasis drug. TwitteRx DermTwitter
- Amgen Inc convinced a U.S. appeals court on Wednesday to uphold patents that barred generic versions of its blockbuster psoriasis drug Otezla proposed by Zydus Pharmaceuticals and Novartis' Sandoz Inc.
The ruling blocks proposed Otezla generics until 2028. The Federal Circuit also upheld a decision to invalidate one of Amgen's patents that Sandoz said would have barred its generics until 2034. Amgen bought Otezla from Celgene Corp in 2019 for $13.4 billion. Celgene sued several drugmakers over their proposed Otezla generics starting in 2018, and 17 of the 19 lawsuits have been settled since.
Zydus and Sandoz appealed the decision that two of the infringed patents were valid. The Federal Circuit on Wednesday affirmed the ruling.
