U S Supreme Court snubs Novartis appeal over arthritis drug Enbrel

By Syndicated Content By Andrew Chung (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday dashed Novartis AG’s hopes of launching a generic version of Amgen Inc’s multibillion-dollar rheumatoid arthritis Enbrel, declining to hear the company’s challenge to two patents on the drug. The justices turned away Novartis subsidiary Sandoz Inc’s appeal of a lower court decision that upheld the validity of the patents. Enbrel, a biologic also known as etanercept used to treat adults with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis, is Amgen’s top-selling drug, accounting for nearly $5 billion of the company’s $24.2 billion in product sales for 2020. Enbrel was launched in 1998 by Immunex Corp, which Amgen acquired in 2002.
