Mississippi judge denies drug maker’s and PhRMA’s request for preliminary injunction in 340B case

A Mississippi judge July 1 denied Novartis Pharmaceuticals’ and PhRMA’s request for a preliminary injunction against enforcement of state law protecting 340B pricing for contract pharmacy arrangements. The AHA, along with 340B Health, the Mississippi Hospital Association and the Rural Hospital Alliance last month filed an amicus brief in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi defending the state's law.
