Drug company merger may be bad news for MS drug Lemtrada
« on: November 13, 2015, 06:21:12 am »
Sanofi and Genzyme, two pharmaceutical giants, merged recently and as a result the MS drug Lemtrada may have lost out to Aubagio.

This is according to a report in the New York Times business section (November 13), through a complicated series of maneuvers, Lemtrada may have been "slow walked" through the drug approval process in order to give preferential treatment to another MS drug, Aubagio.
