Ares-Serono Expects News on Bid to Challenge Biogen MS Drug

Norwell, Massachusetts, Feb. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Ares-Serono SA, the world's No. 1 fertility-drug maker, expects to learn within coming days how regulators ruled on its application to sell the multiple sclerosis treatment Rebif in the U.S.

The decision won't be as straightforward as a typical ruling on a new drug. Even if Rebif is approved, Serono must clear a second hurdle as it seeks to challenge Biogen Inc. for control of an MS drug market expected to reach $1 billion a year.

Serono can't sell the drug in the U.S. until 2003 unless the Food and Drug Administration agrees to override rulings that gave exclusive marketing rights to two MS treatments similar to Rebif.
