Executive Summary
Medco Research (US) has received US FDA marketing approval for its Adenoscan coronary vasodilator for use in nuclear perfusion imaging. The agent, for coronary artery disease assessment in patients unable to undergo exercise stress testing, will be manufactured and marketed in North America by Fujisawa USA. The two companies have settled their respective lawsuits following a two-year legal battle in which Medco alleged that Fujisawa delayed Adenoscan's launch (see Clinica No 592, p 21). Details of the settlement were not disclosed.
