That includes the agency's examination of Pfizer 's proposed $43 billion purchase of cancer drug developer Seagen . Some also speculated that the restrictions imposed on Amgen as part of the settlement could have implications for other deals. The FTC's lawsuit against Amgen in May was the agency's first legal challenge to a pharmaceutical buyout in 14 years. The settlement agreement prohibits Amgen from bundling any of its products with two of Horizon's blockbuster drugs, among other restrictions. Still, some analysts said the restrictions suggest the FTC could apply similar rules to other buyouts in the future.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has said an obesity pill could eventually be a $10-billion-a-year product for Pfizer. Truist Securities analyst Robyn Karnauskas said Lilly is now ahead in the race for a once-a-day obesity pill. Pfizer said last month that danuglipron helped patients lose weight on par with Novo Nordisk's (NOVOb.CO) Ozempic in a mid-stage study that tested it in patients with Type 2 diabetes. None of the patients in the lotiglipron trials reported liver-related symptoms or side effects, there was no evidence of liver failure and none required treatment, Pfizer said. Liver enzyme elevations observed in lotiglipron trials have not been seen in patients enrolled in danuglipron trials, the company added.

Oct 10 (Reuters) - Merck & Co (MRK.N) said on Monday a therapy it gained through the drugmaker's $11.5 billion acquisition of Acceleron Pharma last year met the main goal of a late-stage study in patients with a progressive blood vessel disorder. Sotatercept, when compared to placebo, significantly extended how far patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) could walk in six minutes. The trial data validates the Acceleron acquisition, and also supports Merck's budding portfolio of cardiovascular drugs, Truist Securities analyst Robyn Karnauskas said in a note. Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a rare type of high blood pressure that affects an estimated 40,000 people in the United States, according to Merck.
