News for Zofran Lawsuits:
Keberle, Patrykus & Laufenberg, LLP have recently added a comprehensive overview of studies examining Zofran’s potential to cause birth defects at their Zofran lawsuit website.

National Zofran attorneys Keberle, Patrykus & Laufenberg, LLP provide legal representation for families seeking to file Zofran lawsuits for allegations of birth defects.

National Zofran attorneys Keberle, Patrykus & Laufenberg, LLP provide legal representation for families seeking to file Zofran lawsuits for allegations of birth defects. Among the first Zofran lawsuits to be filed is Tomisha LeClair vs. GlaxoSmithKline , (GSK) in Massachusetts Federal Court. The plaintiff’s complaint referenced a 2012 Department of Justice settlement with GSK.  The lawsuit alleges that GSK marketed Zofran to pregnant women without ever conducting research to determine fetal risks posed by Zofran, according to court documents.

As outlined in the court documents, three studies comprise the bulk of the body of research on Zofran’s effect on a growing fetus. The two most prominent originate from Danish birth records and provide opposing information. One, “Ondansetron use in early pregnancy and the risk of congenital malformations – a register based nationwide cohort study”, which was published by a group of physicians and researchers in Denmark in August of 2013, concluded that first trimester exposure to Zofran resulted in as much as a two-fold increase in the risk of developing particular birth defects, according to court documents. Another study published earlier that year in the New England Journal of Medicine found no connection between Zofran use by pregnant mothers and an increase in birth defects in babies, according to court documents.

The two studies utilized the same Danish birth records, but the New England Journal of Medicine study examined a much shorter span of time (2004 – 2011 versus 1997 – 2010), and many of the mothers participating in the study who took Zofran had taken in later in their pregnancy, with an average exposure of week 10, according to court documents. Major birth defects that the more comprehensive study linked to Zofran, such as congenital heart defects and physical deformities, are only a risk prior to week 10 of a pregnancy, according to court documents. The more comprehensive study, which examined women who took Zofran early in their pregnancy, is the research that shows the strongest link between fetal Zofran exposure and birth defects, according to court documents.

Please see our information on “Zofran has never been approved by the FDA for use in pregnant women, yet the drug is widely prescribed to pregnant women suffering from morning sickness. Marketing Zofran to pregnant women without FDA approval got the drug maker in trouble with the federal government in 2012; GlaxoSmithKline paid the Department of Justice $1 billion in civil settlements alone for illegally marketing Zofran to pregnant women, among other charges**,” said Doug Keberle of the Keberle, Patrykus & Laufenberg, LLP Law Firm. “No one knows exactly what effect Zofran has on growing fetuses, but women across the country are beginning to file Zofran lawsuits alleging the drug caused birth defects in their children. These existing studies and new research on the topic are helping us to understand the risks Zofran poses during pregnancy.”
