Byline: Daily News Thousand Oaks-based Amgen announced Tuesday that its denosumab drug delayed skeletal deterioration in patients with advanced breast cancer better than Novartis' Zometa in a late-stage trial comparing the two medications.
The lawsuit, which was filed on Thursday, aims to prevent Teva -- the world's largest generic drug company -- from selling generic versions of the two drugs, Zometa and Reclast, until their patents expire in 2013, a Novartis spokesman said.
New independent study found that Zometa (Zoledronic Acid) when added to hormone therapy, following surgery, significantly reduced the risk of cancer recurrence or death by 36%, beyond clinical benefits achieved with hormone therapy alone in premenopausal women with early-stage breast cancer.
