FDA tentatively approves Merck's copycat of Sanofi's Lantus (July 20)
Merck and Co Inc said on Thursday the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) tentatively approved its follow-on biologic version of French drugmaker Sanofi SA's blockbuster diabetes treatment, Lantus. Merck's copycat, if launched, would challenge Lantus as a cheaper alternative that could chip away at the drug's sales, which reached 5.71 billion euros ($6.6 billion) last year and represented over a sixth of Sanofi's total sales.

U.S. jury sides with Amphastar over Momenta in drug patent trial
A federal jury handed Amphastar Pharmaceuticals Inc a big win on Friday after it was accused of infringing on a patent held by Momenta Pharmaceuticals Inc through its production of a generic version of the blood-thinner Lovenox. The verdict by the jury in Boston came in a lawsuit by Cambridge, Massachusetts-based biotechnology company Momenta and its partner, Novartis AG's Sandoz unit, that sought nearly $940 million in damages. The jury found that while Rancho Cucamonga, California-based Amphastar had infringed Momenta's patent, it was invalid and unenforceable.
