The U.S. Department of Justice announced Wednesday it has filed a False Claims Act complaint against Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, alleging that the company “fraudulently inflated Medicare reimbursement rates” for its eye therapy Eylea (aflibercept).

The FDA has expanded the label of Regeneron’s blockbuster eye therapy Eylea (aflibercept), allowing the administration of a higher 8-mg dose at up to 16-week intervals, the company announced Friday.

Citing issues with a third-party contractor, the FDA rejected Regeneron’s regulatory application for a higher-dose regimen of Eylea, the company’s blockbuster eye injection treatment.

The alliance will combine this technology with Boehringer’s research and development expertise to develop a first-in-class treatment for patients with eye diseases, Surrozen announced.
