Biopharmaceutical manufacturer Amgen yesterday became the 10th drug manufacturer to sue the federal government over the government’s position that the 340B statute requires drug companies to provide 340B-priced drugs to multiple contract pharmacies without conditions.
California-based Amgen filed suit Dec. 19 in federal district court in Washington. It joins AstraZeneca, Boehringer Ingelheim, Lilly, Merck, Novartis, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, UCB, and United Therapeutics in suing in defense of policies that generally limit covered entities to one contract pharmacy if the entities lack an in-house pharmacy. Several of the companies let entities use multiple contract pharmacies in exchange for the entities’ related 340B drug claims data.
