Watch out NEJM! The Merck lawyers are coming to call.
A current editor and former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine, which last month criticized drug maker Merck for withholding data from a published study on its withdrawn painkiller Vioxx, are due to be grilled next week.
The editors subpoenaed include editor in chief Dr. Jeffrey M. Drazen and executive editor Dr. Gregory D. Curfman.
The depositions, ahead of the next round of product liability trials over Merck's former blockbuster arthritis pill, will be held next Tuesday and Wednesday, Paul Shaw, an attorney representing the editors.
Insiders' view: Name, rank and serial number only!
