Amgen's PCSK9 inhibitor Repatha, already constrained by payor pushbacks on prices in the West and awaiting outcomes data, now appears to be facing a challenge in India. A key Indian expert panel has turned down Amgen's request for a trial waiver for evolocumab, a move that could hold up launch plans with partner Dr Reddy's.
