Merck Recalls TEMODAR® and Temozolomide Bottles with Cracked Caps Due to Failure to Meet Child–Resistant Closure Requirement

Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) today asked that all customers, including patients, inspect all bottles of TEMODAR® (temozolomide) capsules and all bottles of Temozolomide capsules (generic) for potential cracks in the child-resistant bottle caps. The medicine is manufactured by Merck and distributed in the United States by Merck as TEMODAR. The Temozolomide capsules (generic) are manufactured and packaged by Merck but sold and distributed by Sandoz, the authorized generic partner, under the Sandoz label. In addition to these supplies, Merck also provides TEMODAR in the United States in sachets (or pouches); TEMODAR in sachets are not affected. Merck believes that approximately 1,100 bottles out of an estimated 276,000 distributed bottles of TEMODAR and Temozolomide capsules (generic) could potentially have cracked caps. Those bottles could be at wholesalers,

Merck Wins TEMODAR® Patent Infringement Lawsuit on Appeal

Merck & Co., Inc. said today that a federal appellate court ruled in its favor in a TEMODAR patent infringement suit against Barr Laboratories, an affiliate of Teva Pharmaceuticals. By a 2-1 vote, the appellate court rejected Barr's arguments and reversed a lower court ruling that the U.S. patent was unenforceable. "The court appropriately ruled that the patent for TEMODAR in the U.S. is enforceable," said Bruce N. Kuhlik, executive vice president and general counsel of Merck. "We invest heavily in R&D to discover innovative medicines like TEMODAR, and we will vigorously defend our intellectual property rights." Teva had been seeking FDA approval to sell a generic version of the 5, 20, 100, 140, 180 and 250 mg capsules of TEMODAR. In connection with Teva's prior agreement not to launch during the appeal, Merck agreed that it will not object to Teva's launch of a generic version of TEMODAR in August 2013. The U.S. patent and exclusivity periods otherwise will expire on February 2014.
