Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE:TEVA) says that it has filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) with the US Food and Drug Administration seeking approval to market the generic version of Victoza (liraglutide) injection, in the USA.
Danish diabetes care giant Novo Nordisk’s (NOV: N) Victoza is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Based on available information, Teva believes it is a "first applicant" to file an ANDA for the generic version of Victoza, and should its ANDA be approved, the Israeli generics giant may be entitled to 180 days of generic market exclusivity.
