NEW YORK - Swiss drugmaker Novartis AG sued Amgen Inc on Thursday, accusing the U.S. biotechnology company of trying to back out of agreements to jointly develop and market Aimovig for the prevention of migraines, and keep the profits for itself.
In a complaint filed in Manhattan federal court, Novartis said it has spent several hundred million dollars on Aimovig since August 2015, when it began collaborating with Amgen, which previously controlled all rights to the treatment. Novartis called Aimovig a “runaway success,” with about 210,000 patients using the drug in the United States and another 20,000 patients elsewhere.The lawsuit seeks to enforce the companies’ collaboration agreements, and declare Amgen’s purported termination void.Roughly 39 million Americans suffer from migraine headaches, according to the Migraine Research Foundation.
