Novartis said that a legal battle will delay the launch of Erelzi, a biosimilar of Amgen's Enbrel, until at least next year, as reported The New York Times Wednesday.
Amgen has argued that Enbrel has patent protection until 2029.
"That's the frustration sometimes of the legal situation, but the way I look at that, we're carving the landscape out as we go," commented Richard Francis, head of Novartis's Sandoz generics business.
Amgen and Novartis are also entangled in a separate legal case regarding whether companies must wait 180 days after FDA approval to launch biosimilars.
