UNITED STATES JUDICIAL PANEL MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION Foregoing is a true and correct copy of The original on file in my office. A17EST WILLIAM T. WALSH, Cleck United States District Ceut District of New Jersey By: - s/iacgu,eLambiase Deputy Clerk IN RE: PROTON-PUMP INHIBITOR PRODUCTS LIABILITY LITIGATION (NO. II) Date 8/4/17 MDL No. 2789 TRANSFER ORDER Before the Panel: Plaintiffs in 24 actions pending in the District of New Jersey move to centralize this litigation in that district, or, in the alternative, the Southern District of Illinois. The litigation consists of the 161 actions listed on the attached Schedule A. The Panel has been informed of 34 additional federal actions involving related issues.1 All responding plaintiffs support centralization, but certain plaintiffs argue, in the first instance, for the Southern District of Illinois. Defendants’ positions on centralization vary. Defendants AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP and AstraZeneca LP (AstraZeneca) support centralization in the District of New Jersey or the Central District of California. Defendants Pfizer Inc., Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Wyeth, LLC, and Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories (collectively Pfizer) support centralization in the District of New Jersey (or, in the alternative, the Eastern District of Pennsylvania). Defendants Procter & Gamble Company and The Procter & Gamble Manufacturing Company (P&G) do not oppose centralization in the District of New Jersey. Various Takeda defendants (Takeda)2 oppose centralization, and do not suggest any transferee district, if centralization is ordered over their objections. Novartis Consumer Health, Inc. (NCH), which is sued only in a potential tag-along action (in which Takeda also is a defendant), also opposes centralization, and, if centralization is ordered over its objections, advocates the District of New Jersey or the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Both Takeda and NCH further argue that if an MDL is created, any cases or claims against them should be excluded. Finally, three other Novartis entities Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics, Inc. and Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research, Inc. oppose centralization on the grounds that they are not — — * Judge Marjorie 0. Rendell took no part in the decision of this matter. These and any other related actions are potential tag-along actions. See Panel Rules 1.1(h), 7.1, and 7.2. 2 Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc., Takeda Pharmaceuticals International, Inc., Takeda Development Center Americas, Inc., Takeda California, Inc., Takeda Pharmaceuticals America, Inc., Takeda GmbH, Takeda Pharmaceuticals LLC, and TAP Pharmaceutical Products, Inc. -2current or fonner manufacturers or developers of any of the pharmaceuticals at issue, and thus are not proper parties. I. In the complaints in these 161 personal injury and wrongful death actions, plaintiffs allege that as a result of taking one or more proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), they or their decedents suffered kidney injury (e.g., chronic kidney disease (CKD),3 acute interstitial nephritis, end stage renal disease, or kidney failure). Plaintiffs allege that defendants failed to adequately warn ofthe negative effects and risks associated with PPIs. This litigation is before us for the second time this year. At our January hearing session, we denied a motion for centralization brought by plaintiffs in six PPI actions. In re: Proton-Pump Inhibitor Prods. Liab. Litig. (Proton-Pump 1), F. Supp. 3d—, 2017 WL 475581 (J.P.M.L. Feb. 2, 2017). The motion encompassed fifteen constituent actions and 24 potential tag-along actions pending in a total of seventeen districts. Id. at * 1. All defendants opposed centralization. Id. — In Proton-Pump I, we recognized that the actions shared certain factual issues “arising from plaintiffs’ allegations that taking [PPIs] may result in various types of kidney injury,” including the conditions listed above. Id. But we concluded that centralization was not warranted for a number ofreasons. First, the named defendants varied from action to action: AstraZeneca was sued in most of the actions (14 constituent actions and 23 tag-alongs), but P&G was sued in only eight, Takeda in four, and Pfizer in two. We thus reasoned that centralization “appear[ed] unlikely to serve the convenience of most, if not all, defendants and their witnesses.” Id. Second, defendants were (and still are) competitors, and centralizing them in a single MDL “likely would complicate case management due to the need to protect trade secret and confidential information,” and might prolong pretrial proceedings, because of, inter atia, the possible need for separate discovery and motion tracks, as well as additional bellwether trials. Id. at *2. Third, we found that a significant amount of discovery was “almost certain to be defendant-specific,” given that the drugs at issue were “not identical,” with each having “a unique development, testing, and marketing history, and each [having been] approved by the FDA at different times.” Id. We stated that the differences among the drugs, as well as the variety of injuries alleged, “significantly undermine[d] any efficiency gains to be achieved from centralization.” Id. Finally, we noted that although moving plaintiffs had “almost guarantee{d]” that the number of actions would increase “by the hundreds if not thousands,” the Section 1407 motion encompassed only 39 cases, including tag-alongs. Id. Plaintiffs in more than 120 of the constituent actions allege that they suffered CKD. -3II. In support of this new motion,4 plaintiffs, AstraZeneca, and Pfizer argue that the number of involved actions, districts, and plaintiffs’ counsel has increased significantly since Proton-Pump I, that many more cases likely will be filed, that there now are a significant number of related state court actions,5 and that informal coordination and cooperation are not practicable to manage litigation of this scope. After careful review of the record, we agree with this assessment. As stated above, these actions share factual issues arising from allegations that taking one or more PPIs can result in kidney injury, and that defendants failed to adequately warn of the negative effects and risks of PPI use. Although several of the grounds on which we denied centralization in Proton-Pump I remain largely valid,6 we fmd that the significantly larger number of involved actions, districts, and counsel, the concomitant increase in burden on party and judicial resources, and the opportunity for federal-state coordination, coupled with most defendants’ change in position to now support centralization, tip the balance in favor of creating an MDL.7 Centralization will facilitate a uniform and efficient pretrial approach to this litigation, eliminate duplicative discovery, prevent inconsistent rulings on Daubert and other pretrial issues, and conserve the resources of the parties, their counsel, and the judiciary. ‘While we do not discount the case management-related difficulties that a multi-product and multi-defendant MDL such as this may entail, the unusual circumstances presented convince us that at this juncture, formal centralization under Section 1407 is the best course. As we repeatedly have stated, a transferee judge can employ any number of techniques, such as establishing separate discovery and motion tracks, to manage pretrial proceedings efficiently. See, e.g., In re: AndroGel Prods. Liab. Litig., 24 F. Supp. 3d 1378, We note that our denial of centralization in Proton-Pump I did not foreclose the filing of this second motion for centralization. That earlier denial also does not preclude us from reaching a different result here. We will do so only rarely, however, where a significant change in circumstances has occurred. See In re: Plavix Mktg., Sates Practices & Prods. Liab. Litig. (No. II), 923 F. Supp. 2d 1376, 1378 (J.P.M.L 2013). AstraZeneca represents that it has been sued in 87 state court PPI actions —85 in Delaware, one in Missouri, and one in Ohio. 6 Thevarietyofallegedkidneyinjuries arguablyhas diminished, as mostplaintiffs allegethat they suffer from CKD. In addition, the status of defendants as competitors (and defendants’ concerns regarding trade secrets, etc.) may be less of an issue in this litigation, given that most (and possibly all) of these medications no longer have patent protection. See In re: Lipitor (Atorvastatin Calcium) Mktg., Sales Practices & Prods. Liab. Litig. (No. II), 997 F. Supp. 2d 1354, 1356 (J.P.M.L. 2014) (granting follow-up motion for centralization, where number of related actions had grown from 29 in thirteen districts to over 225 in more than 40 districts; the number of involved plaintiffs’ firms had grown as well; and the Panel had been informed of related cases pending in at least three state courts). -41379-80 (J.P.M.L. 201 4)•8 As with any MDL, the transfereejudge has substantial discretion to refine the litigation’s parameters. Id. at 1380 (“[T]he transferee judge retains wide discretion as to how the MDL should be defined. .“). If, after close examination, she determines that Section 1407 remand of any claims or actions involving a particular defendant or PPI is appropriate, procedures are available to accomplish this with minimal delay. Id. (citing Panel Rule 10.1). . . In opposing centralization and arguing that if centralized, any cases and claims against it should be excluded from the MDL, Takeda relies heavily on our decision in Proton-Pump I, and further argues that it is sued in only a minority of the 161 actions. For the reasons stated above, we conclude that Proton-Pump I does not control the outcome here. And, although it is true that AstraZeneca is sued in far more actions than Takeda, a significant number ofactions are “mixed use” cases in which the plaintiffs allege use of more than one PPI, and sue Takeda and one or more other PPI manufacturers, including AstraZeneca.9 The prospect of additional cases against Takeda does not seem far-fetched.’° Given these circumstances, including the seemingly indivisible nature of plaintiffs’ alleged injuries in the “mixed use” cases, we decline to carve out from the MDL cases or claims against Takeda.” 8 In Androgel, we ordered industry-wide centralization of all cases alleging injuries arising from the use of testosterone replacement therapies on the grounds that a number of plaintiffs had “used more than one testosterone replacement therapy,” and that “[t]he other approaches proposed by the parties—centralizing only [cases involving AbbVie’s Androgel product] (and perhaps transferring ‘combination cases’), separating and remanding claims against certain manufacturers, or transferring only claims relating to testosterone replacement gels—could prove too procedurally complicated, might result in a de facto industry-wide centralization as cases involving multiple drugs become part of the MDL, or may require successive motions for centralization.” In re: Androgel Prods. Liab. Litig., 24 F. Supp. 3d at 1379. These same circumstances are present in the PPI cases now before us. For example, the Middle District of Florida Lear plaintiff alleges use, at various times, of AstraZeneca’s Nexium and Prilosec PPIs, Takeda’s Prevacid PPI, and Pfizer’s Protonix PPI; the District of Idaho Buzbee plaintiff alleges use ofNexium and Prevacid; the Western District of Louisiana Crandell plaintiff alleges use of Nexium, Prevacid, and Prilosec; the District of New Jersey Luzzo plaintiff alleges use ofNexium and Prevacid; and the Eastern District of Pennsylvania Miller plaintiff alleges use of Nexium and Prevacid. 10 Sales of Prevacid, which came to market in 1995, reportedly exceeded $3 billion annually at one time. Whether claims against NCH, which markets Prevacid 24HR, should be included in the MDL is best addressed through our conditional transfer order process, as NCH is sued only in an Eastern District of Tennessee tag-along action. Similarly, whether future claims against the three other Novartis entities Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics, (continued...) — -5We select the District of New Jersey as transferee district for this litigation. More than 60 of the 161 constituent actions afready are pending in D. New Jersey (more than in any other district). The district is a relatively convenient venue, and enjoys the support of most plaintiffs, as well as the AstraZeneca, Pfizer, and P&G defendants. Further, centralization in the Disthct of New Jersey enables us to assign the litigation to Judge Claire C. Cecchi, an experienced transferee judge who already is actively managing the PPI cases filed in that district. We are confident that the judge will steer this litigation on a prudent course. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions listed on Schedule A and pending outside the District of New Jersey are transferred to the District of New Jersey, and, with the consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable Claire C. Cecchi for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings. PANEL ON MULTDISTRICT LITIGATION Sarah S. Vance Chair Charles R. Breyer Ellen Segal Huvelle Catherine D. Perry Lewis A. Kaplan R.
