Barr confirms patent challenge of schizophrenia drug

Barr Pharmaceuticals has confirmed that its subsidiary, Barr Laboratories, has initiated a challenge of the patents listed by Azur Pharma International in connection with its FazaClo orally disintegrating tablets, 25mg and 100mg.

The company believes that it is the first to file an abbreviated new drug application containing a paragraph IV certification for FazaClo.

Cima Labs and Azur Pharma and Azur Pharma International have previously filed a suit in the US District Court of Delaware to prevent Barr from proceeding with the commercialization of its product. This action formally initiates the patent challenge process under the Hatch-Waxman Act.
