Senator Grassley goes after Schering Plough and Merck with new letter, based on BrandweekNRX information.

BrandweekNRX is clearly creating some turmoil over at Schering-Plough and Merck.

Not only were we first reporting on suspicious insider trading, we also dug up the information on CafeParma that led to a letter yesterday from the House Energy & Commerce Committee to SGP, MRK and CafePharma.

And now Senator Grassley, Ranking Member of the Senate Finanance Committee, is using another BrandweekNRX first, the information in our article on January 31, "Prominent cardiologist: Schering-Plough could have known the result of Vytorin trial before unblinding data."

Senator Grassley just wrote to Schering-Plough and Merck: "It has come to my attention that Schering Plough and Merck would not need to unblind the data to understand that Vytorin performed no better than generic simvastatin. The ENHANCE trial is a non-inferiority study. These studies try to detect a statistically significant difference between treatment groups on the primary endpoint. Once the results are recorded, the study is then unblinded to determine which drug is the better performer. However, if the drugs performed the same, meaning there is no statistically significant difference in the treatments, then this information is apparent before the study has been unblinded."

He adds:  According to your own press release on the ENHANCE results, “There was no statistically significant difference between treatment groups on the primary endpoint.”

Senator Grassley is in his letter asking Schering-Plough for the names of all employees who had access to the ENHANCE data during or after completion of the trial. He also wants names of all statisticians at the Schering-Plough Institute.

BrandweekNRX only has one comment: YO MAN, GO, Senator Grassley!

I am a memeber of an internet group called vioxxcox2vixtims group at Yahoo. A remarkable thing out of the group of 200 to 300 individuals
that took Vioxx almost to a person there are complaints of severe muscle cramps and spasms. This is a good 4 to 5 years after takeing Vioxx Anyone who has a history of vioxx, celebrex, or bextra and suffer muscle cramps particularly in large muscles please contact me [email]jdem006@charter.net[/email] or the yahoo group vioxxcox2victims. There is new research from the University of Buffalo that indicate the cox2 inhibitor NSAIDS, ( Vioxx, Bextra, and Celebrex ) have a "potassium channel blockage" effect.

Everyone needs to be very careful in jumping to conclusions over the alleged insider trading by Carrie Cox, president of Schering-Plough. Didn't we learn anything at all from the Duke lacrosse players case? Executives in large companies sell stock all of the time for a variety of reasons. Primarily, it is to diversify their assets. A large part of their compensation is in the form of company stock options, and it just makes good sense not to have have all or most of their assets tied up in the stock of one company. Let's let the facts come out before trying and convicting Ms. Cox in the press.

According to Portfolio.com one of Eli Lilly's lawyers at Pepper Hamilton in Philadelphia wanted to email Sidley Austin's Bradford Berenson, about the Zyprexa negotiations that would cost the company a record $1 billion. But the lawyer instead emailed the wrong Berenson--Alex Berenson.

the New York Times get some of its first page stories about Lilly? Well, when they aren't accused of virtually stealing them, causing a judge to call NY Times reporter Alex Berenson's behavior "reprehensible," they get them by -- mistake.

What is surprising is not that Jim Cramer is fawning all over Fred Hassan, or that Jim literally leads Fred by the hand through the entire interview . . .
