Recently, it was revealed that AstraZeneca, a drug maker, “buried” unfavorable studies on its antipsychotic drug Seroquel, according to an internal e-mail unsealed as part of litigation over the medicine. The drugmaker failed to publicize results of at least three clinical trials of Seroquel linked to diabetes and engaged in “cherry picking” of data from one of those studies for use in a presentation, an AstraZeneca official said in a December 1999. The London-based company faces about 9,000 lawsuits claiming it failed to properly warn users that Seroquel can cause diabetes and other health problems. Anyone in North Dakota or Minnesota who was on Seroquel and has now been diagnosed with diabetes should contact an attorney to determine their legal rights.
