FeganScott Announces Class-Action Lawsuit Against Pfizer and Viatris California woman has filed a class-action lawsuit claiming pharmaceutical giants Pfizer (PFE) and Viatris (VTRS), among others, manufactured and sold Depo-Provera, one of the most widely used forms of hormonal contraception, despite knowledge that it causes brain tumors. According to the complaint, studies dating back to the 1980s have shown a connection between hormones and brain tumors called intracranial meningiomas that the pharmaceutical giants should have known about. A March 2024 study published in the British Medical Journal cemented a positive correlation between medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), the synthetic hormone found in Depo-Provera, and the tumors. The study found that women using Depo-Provera are five times more likely to develop intracranial meningiomas when used for more than one year. The complaint states that at times, nearly a quarter of all sexually active women in the United States used Depo-Provera. Use of the popular contraceptive has historically been highest among women in at-risk populations, as it is relatively low-cost and less burdensome compared to other contraceptives. The suit cites a body of scientific studies published between the 1980s and 2024 that link Depo-Provera to the development of intracranial meningiomas, which FeganScott Attorney Lynn Ellenberger says both the brand and generic manufacturers should have been aware of and acted upon. The lawsuit, filed in the federal court in the Western District of Pennsylvania, seeks to establish a medical monitoring program for those in certain states who have received the Depo-Provera injection for at least one year. Individuals interested in learning more about their legal options are urged to contact FeganScott. Announcement • Nov 15

China's National Medical Products Administration Accepts Astellas and Pfizer's Supplemental Biologics License Application for Enfortumab Vedotin with Keytruda (Pembrolizumab) for First-Line Treatment of Advanced Bladder Cancer Astellas Pharma Inc. announced that on March 27, 2024 the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has accepted the supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for enfortumab vedotin with KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) as a combination therapy for the first-line treatment of adult patients with previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (la/mUC). If approved, enfortumab vedotin with KEYTRUDA has the potential to change the treatment paradigm, becoming the first combination treatment to offer an alternative to platinum-containing chemotherapy, the current standard of care in first-line la/mUC. Urothelial cancer (UC) encompasses cancers of both the lower urinary tract (bladder and urethra) and upper tract (ureter and renal pelvis), with disease that originates in the lower tract accounting for 90% to 95% of all UC cases. Globally, approximately 614,000 new cases of bladder cancer and approximately 220,000 deaths are reported annually. It is estimated that approximately 93,000 people in China were diagnosed with bladder cancer and approximately 41,000 deaths were reported in 2022. The sBLA for the first-line use of this combination is based on results from the Phase 3 EV-302 clinical trial (also known as KEYNOTE-A39). The study found that the combination improved overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) with statistically significant and clinically meaningful results in patients with previously untreated la/mUC compared to platinum-containing chemotherapy. The safety results were consistent with those previously reported with this combination, and no new safety issues were identified. The NMPA is also reviewing enfortumab vedotin as a treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (la/mUC) who received prior treatment with a PD-1/L1 inhibitor and platinum-based chemotherapy. The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency is reviewing the enfortumab vedotin in combination with pembrolizumab therapy, as well as Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the combination therapy in December 2023. Reported Earnings • Feb 11
