Patent Analysis: US Patent 8754090

Background and Overview

United States Patent 8754090, awarded to pharmaceutical company Celgene, pertains to the use of lenalidomide in combination with an alkylating agent for the treatment of multiple myeloma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The patent focuses on a pharmaceutical composition containing lenalidomide, an immunomodulatory drug, paired with an alkylating agent such as melphalan or cyclophosphamide.

Claims and Scope

The main claim (1) describes a pharmaceutical composition comprising lenalidomide and an alkylating agent, wherein the composition is used for treating multiple myeloma or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Further claims (2-5) detail specific aspects, including the presence of a solvent, a stabilizer, or a pH regulator. Claim (6) encompasses using the composition in combination with other therapeutic agents, such as corticosteroids.

Patent Strategies and Limitations

The patent takes a broad approach by claiming a composition rather than a specific formulation or method of use. This strategy may provide Celgene with protections against competitors attempting to develop similar products using lenalidomide and an alkylating agent combination. However, the composition claims could be considered a combination patent, which may face stricter enforceability and potentially increase the risk of opposition or invalidation.
