Schering-Plough Assumes Exclusive Worldwide Marketing Rights for Mometasone Furoate/Formoterol Combination for Asthma and COPD

KENILWORTH, N.J., May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Schering-Plough Corporation (NYSE: SGP) today announced changes to its global collaboration with Novartis for the development and commercialization of fixed-dose combination therapies for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Also as a result, Novartis will assume exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize a fixed-dose combination of Schering-Plough's inhaled corticosteroid mometasone furoate with its investigational beta2-agonist QAB149 (indacaterol).

"Schering-Plough has a long history in developing therapies for treating respiratory diseases. This strategic action will allow us to focus our efforts within the asthma and COPD market," said Thomas P.

Schering-Plough anticipates filing the mometasone furoate/formoterol combination for the treatment of asthma with the Food and Drug Administration in the first half of 2009," added Koestler.
