“In April of this year, Eagle announced that it was expanding its existing licensing agreement with Teva Pharmaceuticals for BENDEKA™ (bendamustine hydrochloride), an injectable drug used for treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or a certain type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This means Eagle will receive increasingly larger royalty payments from Teva for as long as the drug is sold in the U.S. Thanks to a decision issued by the FDA in February of this year, no other bendamustine product (including generics) can launch in the U.S. until December 2022. BENDEKA also has a strong patent portfolio that runs through 2033, which further increases the exclusivity of the drug.”
