UPDATE: Court
Denies Class Action Status of Rezulin Lawsuits
Pfizer
Inc said New York district court denied a proposed class certification
of federal litigation involving its prescription diabetes drug Rezulin.
The
court's ruling applies to certain federal lawsuits that now involves
more than 4,000 patients whose diabetes had been treated with Rezulin.
Judge Kaplan said: "Even plaintiffs experts agree that the
controlled clinical studies of the drug Rezulin demonstrate that the
vast majority of patients who were treated with Rezulin tolerated the
drug well and had no elevated liver enzymes and had no liver injury as a
result of the drug." Kaplan
also ruled against a claim for special medical monitoring for patients
who formerly took the drug. Last November, a Virginia court denied
certification to a similar lawsuit.
