Just for Mark Senak at Eye on FDA

Mark's post about AZ's blog and its sidewiki.

Here's the AZ sidewiki (written by yours truly) in full:

Question 1. How much did Dave Brennan know about "The Seroquel Issue" at the time?

The pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca said Thursday (29/Oct/09) that it had reached a $520 million agreement to settle two federal investigations and two whistle-blower lawsuits over the sale and marketing of its blockbuster psychiatric drug Seroquel.

One of the investigations related to “selected physicians who participated in clinical trials involving Seroquel,” AstraZeneca disclosed in a government filing. The other case related to off-label promotion of the drug.

Question 3

Is Dr Michael Reinstein one of the Seroquel investigators under investigation by the DoJ?

Today's question (4):

Was Geoff Birkett the "man behind the curtain" in the Seroquel Scandal?

Someone has to take the fall Dave!

Last question, for now:


If you or AZ or anyone have any issues of fact about any of this then please say and it will be changed/removed. If not, the so be it!
