TRACLEER LITIGATION
There is a Settlement in a class action lawsuit with Defendants Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Actelion Pharmaceuticals US, Inc., and Janssen Research & Development, LLC (collectively, “Defendants”). The lawsuit claims Defendants unlawfully delayed the entry of generic formulations of bosentan into the market, so third-party payors paid more for brand Tracleer and bosentan than they should have. Defendants deny that they did anything wrong. There has been no determination by the Court or a jury that the allegations against Defendants have been proven or that, if proven, Defendants’ conduct caused harm to the Class.
Who is Included?
The Class consists of all entities that, for consumption by their members, employees, insureds, participants or beneficiaries, purchased, paid and/or provided reimbursement for some or all of the purchase price of Tracleer or bosentan, other than for resale, in Arizona, California, District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, or Wisconsin, at any time during the period from December 29, 2015, through and until September 6, 2024.
Excluded from the Class are: (i) Defendants and their subsidiaries and affiliates; and (ii) federal and state governmental entities.
