Regeneron Statement on Preliminary Injunction of the Most Favored Nation Rule

Regeneron is pleased with the decision by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granting a preliminary injunction, preventing the Most Favored Nation Rule ("MFN Rule") from being applied to EYLEA® (aflibercept) Injection. Yesterday's ruling follows recent decisions by the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California preventing implementation of the MFN Rule.

We were compelled to take this action and join the numerous physician, patient and industry groups challenging the MFN Rule because of its potential harm to patients and its circumvention of established laws. For further background, reference our statementdated December 11, 2020.

Regeneron continues to support drug pricing reform that helps make medicines accessible to Americans, including seniors, at prices that are affordable. Regeneron believes the MFN Rule would hurt patients and healthcare providers by impeding their access to necessary medicines, while stifling future innovation. This rule also poses acute challenges for companies like ours that are not responsible for the sale and pricing of certain products outside the U.S., such as in the case of our retinal disease therapy EYLEA® (aflibercept) Injection.
