Eagle Pharmaceuticals said Friday it terminated a license agreement with AOP Orphan Pharmaceuticals after the Food and Drug Administration refused to approve AOP's new drug application for heart-rate drug landiolol.

The biotechnology pharmaceutical company said AOP granted it an exclusive royalty-bearing license under certain patent rights, among other terms, under the prior license agreement. Eagle Pharmaceuticals delivered the notice terminating the agreement on Tuesday, according to a regulatory filing. The company said it can't be certain that AOP won't dispute the company's notice or on what terms any potential dispute may be resolved.

Landiolol is an intravenous candidate aimed at reducing the ventricular rate in patients with supraventricular tachycardia in the short term.
