Teva looks set to wait until early in 2035 to launch its proposed generic version of Catalyst Pharmaceuticals’ Firdapse (amifampridine) 10mg tablets in the US, after striking a settlement agreement with the originator that resolves all litigation previously pending in a district court in New Jersey.
