J&J drug shines in trial against standard lung-clot drugs
By Ransdell Pierson and Debra Sherman
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Johnson & Johnson's blood clot preventer Xarelto proved as effective as and safer than standard treatments against blood clots of the lung in a big study, possibly paving the way for it to become the eventual preferred treatment for the third most common cause of deaths in hospitals.
Researchers and J&J officials on Monday said the 4,833-patient study showed Xarelto was as effective as customary dual therapy -- injections of the clot-buster heparin given about the same time as the blood-thinning pill warfarin -- for treating the clots and preventing new lung clots or dangerous clots in the legs that can break free and cause lung clots. The vast majority of patients were treated for more than six months.
The largest clinical trial ever conducted among lung-clot patients also showed that those taking Xarelto, also known by its chemical name rivaroxaban, experienced only half the number of major bleeding incidents, largely brain hemorrhages, as patients receiving the heparin/warfarin combination.
Brain bleeding is one of the most worrisome side effects of warfarin, the active ingredient of rat poison that has been a mainstay anti-coagulant for more than half a century.
"Rivaroxaban is just as good as standard treatment for pulmonary embolism -- these data are pretty convincing -- and this is an oral-only approach, which makes it very simple," said Dr. Harry Buller, a professor of vascular medicine at the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam, who led the trial.
In the J&J-sponsored trial, 10.3 percent of patients taking Xarelto had major or minor bleeding, compared with 11.4 percent of those taking heparin and warfarin, Buller said. He said 1.1 percent of patients taking Xarelto experienced major bleeding, versus 2.2 percent on standard dual therapy.
Buller presented the trial results on Monday at the annual scientific sessions of the American College of Cardiology in Chicago.
"Xarelto has the potential to become the new standard of care," Paul Burton, cardiovascular medical leader at J&J's Janssen division, said in an interview. "It may offer the opportunity for a single drug that doesn't require monitoring to be used in acute and long-term treatment of pulmonary embolism."
Based on the favorable findings, J&J said it plans in the second quarter to ask U.S. regulators to approve Xarelto for lung clots and leg clots.
Morningstar analyst Damien Conover said the new indications, if approved, could eventually bring an additional $250 million to $500 million in annual revenue for Xarelto. He said that would pale, however, in comparison with expected sales of the medicine for patients with atrial fibrillation.
Lung clots develop in an estimated 600,000 Americans a year and kill as many as 100,000 of them. By blocking vital blood vessels, they often kill within less than an hour after symptoms develop. Because immobility is a major cause of lung clots, hospitalized patients are at particular risk of developing them.
Xarelto, which J&J developed in partnership with German drugmaker Bayer AG, is already approved to reduce the risk of blood clots in the legs and lungs of people who have had knee or hip replacement surgery. It is also approved to prevent strokes among people with irregular heartbeats, called atrial fibrillation.
Xarelto, like Eliquis from Bristol-Myers Squibb Co and Pfizer Inc, works by blocking a protein called Factor Xa involved in the clotting process. Neither of the new drugs carries the onerous demands of warfarin, such as the need for regular blood monitoring and strict avoidance of some foods.
"The reason people look for alternatives (to warfarin) is that it's a nightmare to give," Buller said. "Rivaroxaban makes things easier for everybody -- patients and physicians."
Although Eliquis is approved in Europe to prevent blood clots after hip and knee replacements, it is not approved to treat lung clots. It is awaiting U.S. approval to prevent strokes in atrial fibrillation patients, by far the biggest commercial opportunity for the new crop of blood clot preventers.

Top trial lawyer departs Dechert for Weil, Gotshal
By Leigh Jones
(Reuters) - Top product liability trial lawyer Diane Sullivan has joined the elite law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges from Dechert.
Sullivan, who focuses on class actions, consumer fraud, life sciences, and other complex commercial disputes, joined Dechert in 2001. Her clients have included top pharmaceutical manufacturers Merck and AstraZeneca, as well as tobacco giant Philip Morris USA, a subsidiary of Altria Group. She started at Weil on Monday as a partner in the firm's litigation department.
Sullivan, 49, said Weil had been calling her "for about two years" asking her to consider moving from Dechert. "It was a very difficult decision, but it's a terrific opportunity to be an even better trial lawyer," she said.
Moving with Sullivan to Weil is Kathleen O'Connor, also a partner at Dechert. O'Connor, 46, focuses on complex commercial disputes, consumer fraud, mass torts and product liability. She was assistant in-house counsel at Merck from 2002 to 2006. She joined Dechert in 2006.
Last year, Sullivan, an aggressive litigator, won a verdict for Philip Morris, which was defending against a $455 million lawsuit in Missouri state court brought by 37 hospitals. The hospitals claimed that Philip Morris and other cigarette makers were liable for defective design and should be responsible for paying indigent patients' healthcare costs.
In 2010, Sullivan scored a verdict for Seroquel manufacturer, AstraZeneca, in New Jersey state court. The plaintiff, a Vietnam veteran, claimed that the company failed to warn doctors that the antipsychotic drug caused patients to become diabetic. A jury found that the warnings to the doctors were sufficient.
Sullivan also represented Merck & Co. in a closely watched 2005 New Jersey trial before Judge Carol Higbee over whether arthritis painkiller Vioxx caused a postal worker's heart attack. The jury found that Merck fairly warned of the drug's safety risks and did not commit consumer fraud.
Sullivan clashed several times with Higbee during the 2005 Vioxx trial and again during a 2007 Vioxx trial over similar claims. In the 2007 trial, Higbee held Sullivan in contempt and fined her $1,000 for her questioning tactics during cross-examination. The judge later threw out the contempt order and fine for reasons that were unclear.
Peggy Heffner, a spokeswoman for Dechert, said in a statement that Sullivan and O'Connor "have been valued members of our firm for many years.
New York-based Weil, Gotshal & Manges has about 1,150 lawyers in 20 offices worldwide.

FDA says J&J halted Doribax trial due to safety issues
By Anna Yukhananov
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Johnson & Johnson shut down a clinical trial of its antibiotic Doribax for a type of pneumonia after patients taking the drug had higher rates of death and a lower cure rate than those who got an alternative medicine, U.S. health regulators said on Thursday.
Doribax is currently approved in the United States to treat adults with complicated urinary tract or abdominal infections but not for any type of pneumonia, the Food and Drug Administration said.
In a clinical trial testing Doribax on patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia, those who received the drug had a 6.7 percent higher rate of death from any cause than patients getting an alternative.
Patients taking Doribax also had a 11.2 percent lower rate of being cured than patients getting imipenem-cilastatin, the generic version of Merck & Co Inc's Primaxin.
Doribax, known generically as doripenem, is approved for hospital-acquired pneumonia in Europe, and the trial was conducted as part of a post-marketing requirement from the European Medicines Agency, said Shaun Mickus, spokesman at Janssen, the J&J unit that markets the drug.
Japanese drugmaker Shionogi & Co manufactures Doribax.
Mickus said the trial had study sites in several countries, including the United States.
The trial was halted in May 2011 based on the recommendation of an independent data monitoring committee, and the company finished analyzing the results recently.
In the halted trial, the 28-day all cause mortality rate was 21.5 percent for those who received Doribax compared with 14.8 percent in the control group.
Mickus said Doribax was still safe and effective for its approved uses in the United States.
In June 2007, Johnson & Johnson applied for U.S. approval of Doribax for the treatment of pneumonia acquired in the hospital, known as nosocomial pneumonia, which includes ventilator-associated pneumonia.
The FDA asked the company for more information in August 2008, and Mickus said the company had resubmitted its application and was still in discussions with the agency.

AT&T, rivals delay legal fights over T-Mobile
(Reuters) - AT&T Inc and Sprint Nextel Corp asked a U.S. court on Tuesday to delay hearings in their private litigation over whether the telecommunications giant can buy T-Mobile USA, and the judge promptly agreed.
The request was similar to one that AT&T and the Justice Department made on Monday regarding the government's antitrust suit, which U.S. District Judge Ellen Huvelle also promptly signed.
An identical request was agreed in a case against AT&T brought by small regional phone company C Spire Wireless.
AT&T's agreement to delays in the cases, after previously insisting on expediting them to prevent Deutsche Telekom AG's T-Mobile USA from deteriorating in limbo, have led to pessimism that the $39 billion deal will be completed.
AT&T has also set aside $4 billion in reserves for what could eventually be a $6 billion deal breakup payment to T-Mobile.
AT&T and Sprint asked for the next hearing in the case to be January 18, at 2 p.m. EST (1900 GMT), the same time as the next hearing in the Justice Department's case against AT&T.
Huvelle has ordered AT&T and T-Mobile USA to tell the court by noon on January 12 whether they plan to continue to pursue their agreed deal or an amended one and to give an update on their plans for seeking necessary approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission.
Both the Justice Department and the FCC have objected to the deal on the grounds that it would hurt competition in the U.S. wireless market. The purchase of No. 4 U.S. mobile operator T-Mobile USA would vault No. 2-ranked AT&T into first place in the U.S. market.
The cases before the court are USA v. AT&T, T-Mobile USA Inc and Deutsche Telekom AG, case No. 11-1560; Sprint Nextel Corp v. AT&T Inc et al, No. 11-1600 and Cellular South (C Spire) v. AT&T, No. 11-1690. All are before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

Schedule set for naming witnesses in AT&T-U.S. trial
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A special master overseeing the Justice Department's effort to stop AT&T from buying rival T-Mobile USA has issued a schedule for lists of trial witnesses to be drawn up, according to court papers.
AT&T Inc previously complained that the Justice Department was taking too much time in naming its witnesses as the government seeks to block the telecommunications giant's $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom AG.
"The math on the number of possible depositions and the looming February 13 trial date raise very serious concerns," the special master, Richard Levie, said in an order issued on Sunday.
Levie has been asked by Judge Ellen Huvelle to aid in management of the Justice Department's lawsuit, which was filed August 31.
The government will have to name up to 18 potential witnesses on November 16, with additional witnesses named on December 5 and Jan 6. AT&T will name up to 18 witnesses on November 23, with additional witnesses named on December 12 and January 6, according to Levie's schedule.
Each side will be allowed about 35 witnesses. The trial begins February 13.
Acquiring T-Mobile would vault No. 2 ranked AT&T into the leading position in the U.S. wireless market. The current industry leader is Verizon Wireless, a venture of Verizon Communications Inc and Vodafone Group Plc.
Sprint Nextel, the No. 3 U.S. carrier, and another competitor have also sued to stop AT&T's acquisition of T-Mobile, the No. 4 U.S. operator.
In addition to concerns about market concentration, the government believes the loss of T-Mobile could push up wireless prices since T-Mobile generally costs less than other carriers.
AT&T argues the deal will accelerate its expansion of high-speed wireless service to nearly all Americans.
The Justice Department had no comment on Levie's order. AT&T did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The cases are USA v. AT&T, T-Mobile USA Inc and Deutsche Telekom AG, case No. 11-1560; Sprint Nextel Corp v. AT&T Inc et al, No. 11-1600; and Cellular South v. AT ...

Judge sets February 13 date for AT&T antitrust trial
By Jeremy Pelofsky and Jasmin Melvin
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. judge set a February 13 start for a trial over whether AT&T Inc can buy rival T-Mobile USA, a compromise between the companies' desire for a quick resolution and the Justice Department's request for more time to prepare its case.
U.S. District Judge Ellen Huvelle on Wednesday set aside up to six weeks for the trial in response to the Obama administration's antitrust lawsuit against the deal. She will preside without a jury, as is typical for such cases.
There was no discussion of any settlement to avoid trial during the 80-minute preliminary hearing.
The Justice Department sued last month to block AT&T's $39 billion purchase of T-Mobile, owned by Deutsche Telekom AG, arguing it would raise prices for consumers and hamper competition and innovation.
A key government concern is that T-Mobile, the No. 4 wireless carrier, generally costs less than other carriers so its disappearance could mean higher prices for wireless service.
AT&T, the No. 2 wireless carrier, has defended the transaction, saying it would bring 5,000 overseas jobs back to the United States and enable it to expand high-speed wireless Internet coverage to 97 percent of all Americans.
The trial date falls between the government's request to begin March 19 and AT&T's petition for a January 16 date. Lawyers for the parties said the matter was unlikely to need six weeks to present evidence or witnesses.
Mark Hansen, one of AT&T's lawyers, had pressed the judge for a quick trial to provide certainty to the companies and the market, saying they were "already months beyond where we want to be."
AT&T and T-Mobile could find it difficult to hold the deal together through a long proceeding and investors' patience could wane. The combined companies would leapfrog Verizon Wireless, a venture of Verizon Communications Inc and Vodafone Group Plc, into the No. 1 wireless spot.
Even with an expedited trial, and if the companies lose before Huvelle, an appeals process could stretch into 2013, said Evan Stewart, an antitrust expert with law firm Zuckerman Spaeder LLP. The government could also appeal if it lost.
"The sooner this gets done, the better it is from AT&T's perspective," said Stewart. "All those uncertainties change your business model which affect your bottom line, which is bad news."
Verizon said it will not get involved in the fight at this stage but Chief Executive Lowell McAdam said the U.S. government needs to find ways to make more airwaves available.
"If the government wants to stop a merger like that they need to step up and say this is how we're going to get spectrum in the hands of people who can use it," he said at a Goldman Sachs investor conference in New York.
NO MOVEMENT Toward SETTLEMENT
AT&T has said it is keenly interested in reaching a settlement that would lead to Justice Department approval, and has expressed confidence that the deal can go forward.
Since the lawsuit was filed, there has been no movement toward reaching a settlement and the deal would have to be substantially restructured in order to appease antitrust enforcers, one source close to the case said this week.
"We are hopeful that we can reach a solution with the Department of Justice that addresses their concerns, but if not, we will be well prepared for trial," said AT&T spokesman Michael Balmoris.
If the deal is abandoned, AT&T is facing paying upward of $6 billion in cash and spectrum to T-Mobile.
The scheduling hearing was dominated by a related suit filed by No. 3 wireless carrier Sprint Nextel. Huvelle declined to consolidate the cases and set an October 24 date for arguments over AT&T's planned motion to dismiss.
The judge said she planned to decide whether Sprint had the right to sue or not "as swiftly as possible."
Seven states have joined the Obama administration's challenge to the deal, but on Wednesday, 10 other state attorneys general urged that a settlement be reached so the deal could go forward.
The case is USA v. AT&T, T-Mobile USA Inc and Deutsche Telekom AG, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, case No. 11-1560.

Mark Hansen, one of AT&T's lawyers, had pressed the judge for a quick trial to provide certainty to the companies and the market, saying they were "already months beyond where we want to be."
The deal would combine the No. 2 and No. 4 wireless carriers. The companies could find it difficult to hold the deal together through a long proceeding and investors' patience could wane.
The ceremonial courtroom of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia was used for the scheduling hearing. The bigger space was needed to accommodate the large legal teams involved in the case.
