Thus, PFE’s settlement with Teva keeps Teva’s generic Celebrex off the US market an additional six months and is based on the leverage that PFE might have overturned the District Court’s ruling on appeal.
Meanwhile, ACT says it will launch generic Celebrex “at risk” in May 2014 if it receives FDA approval (#msg-98733372); however, ACT could yet decide to settle with PFE.
*This standard clause in generic-drug settlements means that, if another company (e.g. ACT) launches a generic version of Celebrex before Dec 2014, Teva can then launch also.
