Pfizer (PFE)

A hearing in the Depo-Provera legal action against Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) will take place on Monday, 29 September at 9:00am CT in the United States Courthouse in Pensacola, Florida. The hearing will address oral arguments from the plaintiffs and defendants concerning the issue of pre-emption. The pre-emption defence is common in drug litigation. It involves the drug manufacturer arguing that they cannot be sued for failure to warn under state law, because changes to a drug warning label are governed by federal law and the FDA. The pre-emption defence asserts that the FDA rejected its request to add a tumour warning to the drug’s label, pre-empting any state law claims that it failed to warn consumers and physicians. The plaintiffs argue that Pfizer’s pre-emption defence fails because the company’s request to the FDA was too broad, because it grouped Depo-Provera with other lower dose hormonal contraceptives, and this led to the FDA’s decision not to approve a tumour warning on the drug’s label in the USA. Also, according to a UN 2022 family planning report, 247 million worldwide are on hormonal contraceptives5,6.

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage : As America’s population ages, chronic and rare diseases are emerging as a pressing healthcare challenge — one that disproportionately affects older adults. With more than 30 million Americans living with a rare disease, the need for accurate diagnoses and effective treatments is growing urgent. Many of these conditions remain without FDA-approved therapies, and symptoms in seniors are often misattributed to typical aging, leading to years-long diagnostic delays. Recognizing this crisis, the Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” initiatives have emphasized improving access to treatments and accelerating medical innovation. Advancing this mission, Soligenix Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX) ( Profile ) is making strides with its HyBryte(“TM”) platform, a novel therapy aimed at treating cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (“CTCL”), a rare skin cancer that primarily affects older adults. With successful U.S.-based manufacturing of HyBryte’s active ingredient now in place, Soligenix exemplifies the kind of domestic innovation poised to make a meaningful impact on this underserved patient population.
