A federal district judge will hold a joint hearing in October on drug makers’ Novartis and United Therapeutics’ (UT) lawsuits challenging the government’s findings in May that the two companies’ 340B contract pharmacy policies are unlawful.

It is unclear whether Friedrich plans ultimately to issue just one ruling on the merits in both cases, or one in each lawsuit.
