Merck has formally notified the European Medicines Agency of Merck's decision to withdraw the Marketing Authorisation Application for ridaforolimus. Merck said that the withdrawal of ridaforolimus was based on the provisional view of the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use that the data available to date and provided in the Marketing Authorisation Application were not sufficient to permit licensure of ridaforolimus in the European Union for the maintenance treatment of patients with soft tissue sarcoma or primary malignant bone tumor. Although the application for these uses was withdrawn, Merck is studying ridaforolimus in combination with other drugs in other tumor types. |

InSite Vision (INSV) announced that it will join Merck (MRK) and Pfizer (PFE) in filing a patent infringement lawsuit against Mylan Pharmaceuticals (MYL). Mylan recently filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration seeking to market a generic version of AzaSite before expiration of the patents covering AzaSite and its use. AzaSite is marketed by Merck in the U.S. On May 26, 2011, InSite and Merck filed a similar patent infringement lawsuit against Sandoz. A trial date for the Sandoz ANDA suit has been set for July 11, 2013. The companies have agreed that Merck will take the lead in prosecuting both lawsuits. Each company will be responsible for their own legal costs, with InSite assuming a monitoring role, the company said. |
