    Drug Information Center Highlights of FDA Activities – 9/1/20 – 9/30/20 FDA Drug Safety Communications & Drug Information Updates: Efficacy & Safety Concerns for Atezolizumab in Combination with Paclitaxel 9/8/20 The FDA alerted health care professionals and patients that a clinical trial evaluating atezolizumab plus paclitaxel in patients with previously untreated inoperable locally advanced or metastatic triple negative breast cancer that the drug combination was not effective. The combination of atezolizumab with another paclitaxel formulation, paclitaxel protein‐bound, is currently approved for use in adult patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer, but this continued approval may be contingent on the results of additional studies. Paclitaxel should NOT be used as a replacement for paclitaxel protein bound in clinical practice. Electronic Expanded Access Requests 9/23/20 The FDA announced that the Reagan‐Udall Foundation has launched Expanded Access eRequest, a tool to submit expanded access requests for individual patient expanded access for drugs and biologics in non‐emergency settings. The tool allows auto population of forms, uploading of relevant documents, links to resources for physicians, patients, and caregivers, and secure application submission to the FDA. Benzodiazepine Drug Class: Drug Safety Communication ‐ Boxed Warning Update 9/23/20 The FDA is requiring the Boxed Warning be updated for all benzodiazepines to address serious risks of abuse, addiction, physical dependence, and withdrawal across the medication class.

  • Mcneil Consumer : Mdl No
    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA IN RE: MCNEIL CONSUMER : MDL NO. 2190 HEALTHCARE, ET AL., MARKETING : AND SALES PRACTICES LITIGATION : : Applies to: : ALL ACTIONS : MEMORANDUM McLaughlin, J. July 13, 2012 This multidistrict litigation arises out of quality control problems at the defendants’ facility manufacturing over- the-counter healthcare products in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, which led to a series of recalls of those products. The named plaintiffs assert claims for economic loss on behalf of a putative nationwide class against Johnson & Johnson (“J&J”), McNeil Consumer Healthcare (“McNeil”), and four of their executives. The plaintiffs allege that they overpaid for the defendants’ products as a result of the recalls and the defendants’ scheme to conceal or downplay the scope of the quality control problems. The defendants, who have offered a coupon or cash refund to consumers who purchased recalled drugs, have moved to dismiss the operative complaint, and assert that the named plaintiffs lack constitutional standing and have not met the applicable pleading standard. The Court will grant the defendants’ motion because the plaintiffs have not pled facts that show a cognizable injury in fact, which is required to confer Article III standing. I. Procedural Background This litigation resulted from the consolidation of ten individual actions filed around the country. Haviland v. McNeil Consumer Healthcare, No. 10-2195, was filed in this Court on May 12, 2010, asserting economic injuries arising out of the April 30, 2010 recall of over-the-counter children’s drugs by McNeil, a part of the J&J “Family of Companies.” Eight additional cases, also arising out of the April 2010 recall, were filed in district courts around the country.1 All cases asserted claims for economic injury only, with the exception of Rivera v.
