Toledo, Ohio (PRWEB) June 06, 2014 The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) issued an order today, centralizing and consolidated what could be thousands of cases relating to testosterone replacement therapy. The Panel noted that cases filed all around the country involve common questions of fact, and that centralization in the Northern District of Illinois will serve the convenience of the parties and witnesses and promote the just and efficient conduct of this litigation. The Court assigned the cases to the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly. Even though testosterone therapy litigation is relatively new, cases now pend against Androgels maker (Abbott Laboratories and Abbvie, Inc.), Androderms maker (Watson Laboratories), Axirons maker (Eli Lilly and Company), and other manufacturers. The JPMLs order will move all these cases to Judge Kennelly for consolidated pretrial proceedings. The JPML Panel also altered the name of MDL No. 2545 from AndroGel Products Liability Litigation to Testosterone Replacement Therapy Products Liability Litigation. This change reflects the Panels consolidation of [a]ll testosterone replacement therapy actions, not just Androgel actions. The Court observed that since the FDA announced it is investigating the risk of stroke, heart attack, and death in men taking FDA-approved testosterone products, the claims will involve … Read more »

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said all testosterone products on the market should include in their labels a general warning about the risk of blood clots in veins. The regulator cited post-market reports of such clots for the warning. The FDA said that while testosterone products already carry a warning about the risk of clots related to a condition that sometimes occurs with testosterone treatment, the latest reports of clots were unrelated to that condition, called polycythemia. Read MoreHow 'The Dr. Oz Effect' fuels diet scam industry Polycythemia refers to an abnormal increase in the number of red blood cells that sometimes occurs with testosterone treatment. Testosterone products are also at the center of an FDA investigation, which is looking at the risk of stroke, heart attack and death in men taking these drugs. The FDA said the new warning was not related to the ongoing investigation.

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 22-Jun-2014 Contact: Aaron Lohr alohr@endocrine.org 202-971-3654 The Endocrine Society CHICAGO, IL Testosterone replacement therapy may help older men who have limited mobility and low testosterone improve their aerobic capacity and lessen its decline with age, new research finds. The results were presented in a poster Sunday, June 22, at ICE/ENDO 2014, the joint meeting of the International Society of Endocrinology and the Endocrine Society in Chicago. "These findings are potentially relevant to older men who have experienced the age-related decline in endurance capacity that may be due in part to low testosterone. If proven safe over the long-term, restoring testosterone to normal levels may improve an important measure of physical performance and enhance their quality of life," said lead study author Thomas W. Storer, PhD, Director of the Exercise Physiology Laboratory at Brigham and Women's Hospital of Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. Aerobic fitness declines as people grow older. In previous research, the authors showed that testosterone therapy might improve endurance capacity in aging men, but the effects of testosterone on aerobic performance in mobility limited older men have not been evaluated. "We believe this is the first report of enhanced endurance performance as a result … Read more »

The talk of centralizing testosterone-replacement lawsuits continues. On April 11, 2014, plaintiffs in Barrios v AbbVie Inc. filed a motion seeking consolidation of all lawsuits dealing with testosterone replacement drugs, regardless of the brand or manufacturer. Most companies that produce testosterone replacement products have agreed to centralization, but a few are still opposed. Auxilium Pharmaceuticals (makers of Testim), for example, argues that there are too few cases involving their product to be fairly lumped in with all the rest. On April 30, 2014, Pfizer Inc. also stated their opposition to the idea of one MDL for all testosterone-replacement therapy lawsuits. Pfizer Opposes Inclusion in the MDL The FDA warned in January 2014 that studies had linked testosterone replacement drugs to an increased risk of stroke, heart attack, and death. Plaintiffs who took the products and then suffered from serious health side effects claim the manufacturers never warned them of these types of risks. In their opposition to being involved in the proposed MDL (Case ILN/1:14-cv-02934), Pfizerwhich manufactures the Depo-testosterone injectionstated they strongly believed they shouldnt be part of any such proceeding, because their product is involved in only four cases so far. They argued that because of the limited claims, … Read more »
