The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is asking more data from Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE: TEVA; TASE: TEVA) about its first line treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Treanda, which is administered in combination with rituximab.

Teva acquired Treanda through its acquisition of Cephalon in 2011, and the drug generated $287 million in sales in the first half of 2011. Teva is seeking to expand the indication of Treanda to first line treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
