• Aug/Sep 2015: USPTO inter partes review of Teva’s patent for 40mg (thrice-weekly) formulation of Copaxone.
• 27-Oct-2015: NVS’ 3Q15 CC will provide additional info about the strength of the Glatopa launch (and at least a rough estimate of 3Q15 Glatopa sales).
Lovenox program
• 2015: Ruling from Appellate Court on Safe Harbor issue. The U.S. Solicitor General recently sided with NVS/MNTA by asserting that Amphastar’s (and Teva’s) invoking the Safe Harbor in their defense was inappropriate (https://www.dropbox.com/s/zxz9pfu2kfh3t7w/document.pdf ); if the CAFC sides with the SG, the Lovenox patent case will finally be tried on the merits and NVS/MNTA may be able to claim damages for patent infringement—see #msg-115468100.
FoB program
• 2H15: Partnership deal for FoB compounds other than Humira (which is partnered with BXLT).
• Late 2015: Results of phase-1 trial and start of phase-3 trial for Humira FoB.. Regulatory submissions expected in 2017 if no hitch.
• 2016: Orencia FoB starts phase-1.
• Timing unknown: New pipeline disclosures re M597, M615, M282, M706, M730, or M740. (See slide #53 at link in #msg-107107809.)
