Galafold is a medication for Fabry disease, a rare genetic disorder caused by the buildup of a type of fat called globotriaosylceramide in the body’s cells.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Amicus will grant Teva a license to market its generic version of Galafold in the United States beginning on January 30, 2037, if approved by the FDA and unless certain limited circumstances customarily included in these types of agreements occur.

The parties will terminate all ongoing Hatch-Waxman litigation between Amicus and Teva regarding Galafold patents pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.

The litigation will continue against Aurobindo as the remaining active party, and the litigation stay remains in place for Lupin.

Price Action: TEVA stock is up 0.47% at $18.11, and FOLD stock is up 12.4% at $11.81 at last check Thursday.
