\nDisputes with all other Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) filers regarding Velphoro\u00ae<\/sup> have been settled<\/b>\n<\/p>\n

ST. GALLEN, Switzerland–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Vifor Fresenius Medical Care Renal Pharma (VFMCRP) today announced that the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware issued a judgment in VFMCRP\u2019s favor regarding U.S. patent no. 9,561,251 which covers the formulation for Velphoro\u00ae <\/sup>(sucroferric oxyhydroxide). The decision, subject to appeal, holds that the generic sucroferric oxyhydroxide product proposed by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., in its Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) will infringe the Velphoro\u00ae<\/sup> U.S. patent no. 9,561,251, which expires in July 2030 (including pediatric extension).
