Momenta Wins Dismissal Of Blood-Clot Drug Antitrust Suit

A Massachusetts federal judge on Wednesday said that Amphastar Pharmaceuticals Inc. cannot bring federal antitrust claims against Momenta Pharmaceuticals Inc. for allegedly suppressing competition of sales of a generic blood clot drug because its alleged injury stems from a prior court-issued injunction, immunizing Momenta from suit.

Momenta and co-defendant Sandoz Inc., which together develop and manufacture enoxaparin — a generic life-saving anti-coagulant drug used in clinical settings to treat blood clots that is sold under the brand name Lovenox — are immunized from Amphastar’s antitrust claims..
