Science ignorance, Avandia attacked again, and more about pre-emption

Yes, it’s Halloween today. Hopefully you will find this roundup full of treats, not tricks. PharmaGossip knows how to celebrate (do you recognize anyone?). This was a fairly quiet week, as the countdown narrows for the U.S. presidential elections. There was some interesting news: Wyeth, like many other pharma companies, is narrowing its R&D focus; the tough economic times means drug sales for next year will be flat; a pension plan wants to halt the Lilly buyout of ImClone; Sarah Palin managed to greatly anger researchers with an offhand comment; the journal PLoS published a study that concludes off-label promotion of drugs are driving sales; and Public Citizen is calling for the withdrawal of GlaxoSmithKline’s Avandia. There’s lots of other topics, including entries about pre-emption as the Wyeth vs.

A new president, a look at the future, but the world goes on

Yes, Barack Hussein Obama will be the 44th president of the United States, once he is sworn into office in January. Now that the election is over and Mr. Obama is already starting to pick staff members, we can all go back to our daily lives. Other things did happen this week: The Supreme Court heard the first oral arguments in the Wyeth vs. Levine preemption case; GlaxoSmithKline is cutting 1,000 people from its salesforce and is consolidating its U.S. headquarters; Sanofi-Aventis and Pfizer have ended research on their obesity drugs; and drug companies apparently hid millions of dollars in payments to physicians in Vermont and Minnesota by designating them as “trade secrets.” There’s all sorts of other news out there as well, so I’ll get to it.
