Lilak, Takeda Pharmaceutical, Actos & Bladder Cancer: A recent case in the United States District Court, D. Colorado ruled on motion for summary judgment. The Lilak, Takeda Pharmaceutical, Actos & Bladder Cancer case documents what many actos prescription drug users may face today – potential bladder cancer. The court ruled on the motion.
A brief summary of the facts include:
- The background facts have been set forth elsewhere and will not be restated here except as relevant to resolving the Objection. See Docket No. 65 at 1-6. Plaintiff brings a products liability action against defendant, claiming that the drug Actos and related drugs caused plaintiff a variety of injuries. In its motion for summary judgment, defendant provided a declaration from Dr. Mark Molitch, who stated that, based on his review of plaintiff’s medical records, plaintiff has never suffered from urinary tract infections (“UTIs”) or bladder cancer and that the other conditions plaintiff complains of were not caused by Actos.
