Attorneys representing individuals living with diabetes against the pharma defendants seek certification in class-action lawsuit Attorneys at Hagens Berman representing a proposed class of insulin purchasers in a lawsuit against Sanofi, Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly for systematic overpricing of insulin have sought to certify the lawsuit''s class, just as President Joe Biden highlighted the need to "cap the cost of insulin" in his Mar. 1, 2022 State of the Union. "We filed our motion for class certification at the exact moment President Biden addressed the nation regarding the shocking price hikes of insulin," said Steve Berman , managing partner and co-founder of Hagens Berman. "In our lawsuit against the big three makers of insulin – Sanofi, Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly – we stand with the president and his mission of stopping the rip off, once and for all." Berman serves as court-appointed co-lead counsel representing insulin purchasers in the lawsuit. "Our clients living with diabetes have been imprisoned by this racket orchestrated by insulin makers that forces them to pay hundreds of dollars a month just to stay alive, when a vial of insulin is in fact incredibly cheap to make," Berman added. "We ask the court to approve this class of folks trapped paying the phony list price for insulin and return to them what they''ve lost over years of overpricing." The law firm filed the first-of-its-kind lawsuit in 2017 in the U.S.

In January, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revoked its emergency use authorization (EUA) of two COVID-19 antibody treatments that had initially been granted emergency use authorization by the agency in November 2020. The announcement comes after a review of the latest data showed that neither antibody treatment is especially effective against Omicron, which now accounts for an estimated 99% of new cases . Monoclonal antibodies work by targeting the spike protein on a virus particle. With each variant, that spike protein is a little different. In Omicron’s case, it’s a lot different. A study in Nature found that the variant contains over 30 mutations in the spike protein. While that’s made it easier for tests to distinguish it from other variants, it’s also made it more resistant to both vaccines and antibody treatments.
