Pfizer’s Legal Actions Against Novo Nordisk and Metsera
Pfizer has sought a temporary restraining order to prevent Metsera from breaching its contract by partnering with Novo Nordisk. The court noted:
“A reasonable juror could find that the defendants’ 'blaming supply,' making uncompetitively high bids and falsely citing production costs for increased prices were aimed at concealing their alleged conspiracy.”
Pfizer claims that Novo Nordisk is trying to "catch and kill" Metsera, which Pfizer was acquiring, to block potential competition against Novo Nordisk's obesity drugs Ozempic and Wegovy.
