Judge Sends Nexium Pay-for-Delay Suit to Local Court
A federal judge has dismissed to a local court a lawsuit alleging AstraZeneca negotiated illegal pay-for-delay settlements with generic firms to keep versions of its heartburn drug Nexium off the market. In his decision however, the judge also indicated that deals putting off generic competition can still qualify as “reverse payments” under antitrust statutes, even if no cash changed hands.
