FDA ordered to hand over Vioxx documents
October 29th, 2007 by Todd HagemanOne of the Plaintiff’s attorneys in the Vioxx litigation, Eric Weinberg, sued the FDA to force the agency to produce documents under the Freedom of Information Act. Pharmalot reports that Weinberg filed 10 FOIA requests between October 2004 and August 2006 seeking “Vioxx media ads, the personal calendar and other information from former FDA counsel Dan Troy, and communications between Merck and the agency.”
United States District Court Faith Hochberg ordered the FDA to produce the documents and has appointed a mediator to create a process to determine what records can be turned over.
In an interview, Weinberg told Pharmalot: “This means the FDA may have to produce documents (that could reveal information) about Merck’s relationship with the FDA.”
