Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc
- Filed complaint in U.S. District Court for DC seeking to vacate FDA's May 1, 2023 approval of Lumryz NDA.
- Alleges FDA acted outside Orphan Drug Act by granting Lumryz ODE despite Xywav's unexpired exclusivity.
- Claims FDA's finding of clinical superiority (once-nightly dosing) lacks substantial evidence and is inconsistent with prior determinations.
- Seeks declaration that approval was arbitrary, capricious, and in excess of statutory authority.
- Jazz cannot predict outcome or impact on oxybate business.
