Jed Dietrich, Esq., Distinguished as a New York Super Lawyer, and His Team of Veteran Lawyers at the Dietrich Law Firm P.C. Aggressively Litigate to Obtain Incomparable Results for Victims Who Have Suffered Cancer Caused by Taking Xeljanz in Western New York.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is requiring revisions to the Boxed Warning for Xeljanz and Xeljanz XR (tofacitinib) to include information concerning the risks of blood clots, serious heart-related events, cancer, and even death. Xeljanz is a prescription drug manufactured by Pfizer and approved for treating rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. Janus kinases (JAKs) are intracellular enzymes that produce pro-inflammatory cellular responses. In other words, these enzymes can contribute to the joint inflammation caused by rheumatoid arthritis and other rheumatic conditions. Xeljanz, the first Janus kinases blocker of its kind, works by essentially suppressing the patient’s immune system. However, the drug is notorious for having numerous adverse side effects.

Since being approved in 2012, Xeljanz has become an extremely popular treatment option for arthritis. The drug is frequently prescribed to patients who do not respond to other medications normally taken. In the last 9 years, Xeljanz has been prescribed to hundreds of thousands of patients. According to Healthline, Pfizer predicts its drug is well-positioned to grab a large percentage of the $18.2 billion arthritis market. However, the European Medicines Agency initially rejected Xeljanz because studies failed to demonstrate a significant benefit over other medications and the severity of the drug’s side effects. Suppose you, or someone close to you, have been prescribed Xeljanz and developed cancer, heart problems, or blood clots in the lungs, you owe it to yourself to hire Buffalo, New York’s most elite product liability attorney.

While Xeljanz has helped many patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, the novel drug works by blocking the creation of cytokine, thereby suppressing responses from the immune system. Based on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s completed review of a large clinical trial, the agency found that patients were vulnerable to infections and blood clots even at lower doses of Xeljanz. This conclusion diverges substantially from earlier results showing a risk of adverse complications at only high doses. Xeljanz can cause severe health complications, including:

1. The development of sepsis;
2. Blood clots including deep vein thrombosis, arterial thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism;
3. Liver damage;
4. Kidney, liver, and lung failure;
5. Heart attack;
6. Stroke (ischemic);
7. Lung cancer;
8. Breast cancer;
9. Pancreatic cancer;
10. Prostate cancer;
11. Melanoma; and
12. Wrongful death.

Pfizer is facing a wave of lawsuits by patients who took Xeljanz and suffered blood clots, heart complications, and other injuries. All pharmaceutical companies are legally obligated to fully research the safety of their medications before being approved for public use. Additionally, Pfizer had a legal duty to warn doctors and patients about all potential side effects, risks, and health concerns related to Xeljanz. Proper warnings and other relevant information are vital for helping doctors make informed decisions about their patients’ safety. Xeljanz lawsuits allege that Pfizer breached its legal obligations to consumers in several ways:

1. The company designed and marketed a dangerous and defective drug;
2. Pfizer negligently failed to conduct satisfactory safety studies and analysis before seeking approval for Xeljanz;
3. Despite being aware that higher doses of Xeljanz could cause blood clots and various other health complications, the company failed to disclose such information to the Food and Drug Administration;
4. Pfizer neglected to warn patients that Xeljanz could lead to cardiovascular problems; and
5. The company exposed hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting victims by deliberately failing to maintain consistent cross-country labeling.

Pfizer is facing serious liability in these cases and will likely be named in hundreds of additional Xeljanz lawsuits across the United States. While these lawsuits are currently progressing individually, all of the claims will likely be consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL). The Dietrich Law Firm P.C.’s veteran team has been keeping a close watch on the ongoing litigation against Pfizer. Jed Dietrich, Esq. has successfully tried over 100 cases to verdict in the New York State Supreme Court.
