(Those judges can be awfully sneaky.)Anyway, the court entered the order granting summary judgment on Friday; here's a link to the 15-page decision.Since Bexis has recused himself from writing about the Seroquel MDL, this report again is written by Herrmann alone.AstraZeneca faces about 9000 lawsuits involving 15,000 plaintiffs generally pleading that patients' ingestion of the atypical antipsychotic Seroquel caused the plaintiffs to develop diabetes and related disorders.The MDL… [read post]

Conway, who presides over the Seroquel multidistrict litigation, orally granted summary judgment dismissing both of the two Florida bellwether plaintiffs (Guinn and Haller) whose cases were scheduled to go to trial on Monday February 2, 2009.Bexis has been up to his eyeballs in defending the Seroquel litigation, and the relevant documents were filed under seal, so that limits what we can say at this point.

A lot of what follows is taken in more or less edited form from the amicus brief that Bexis filed with the California Supreme Court in Conte - a copy of which we're making available, here.One major problem with Conte is that the court placed form over substance. [read post]

A tip of the cap to the FDA Law Blog, which beat us to this story because the decision involves Seroquel, we had to find out if Bexis (whose firm is involved in that litigation) could blog about the case. [read post]

Again, that sounds like a field preemption argument to us.And we know there are lots and lots more of these types of cases than just the few cited in the petition, because they're in Bexis' book. [read post]

There's been a controversy in both the scientific literature and the popular press recently about whether Merck's "ADVANTAGE" trial of Vioxx was a "seeding" trial conducted for marketing purposes.That subject has been too hot for us to touch, in part because Bexis' firm is involved in the Vioxx litigation, so he couldn't speak on this subject.But John Calfee, a Resident Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, could.
