"Accelerated Approval is not supposed to be the backup that you use when your clinical trial data are not good enough for regular approval," Kesselheim said via Twitter on Monday as the FDA issued its OK for Aduhelm.

Kesselheim called the FDA move "probably the worst drug approval decision in recent U.S. history" in a scathing resignation letter he sent to acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock on Thursday.

A drug maker has blinked in a lawsuit against the leading anesthesiology society in the United States, along with several anesthesiology researchers, who it claims libeled the company in a series of articles and other materials critical of its main product.

As we reported last month, Pacira Biosciences, which makes the local anesthetic agent Exparel, field the suit in federal court in April, alleging that the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), the editor of its flagship journal, Anesthesiology, and others, were unfairly targeting the drug.

New York (CNN Business)Peloton recalled its Tread+ and Tread treadmills Wednesday, and the company admitted it was wrong to fight the Consumer Product Safety Commission's request that it do so.

About 125,000 treadmills are included in the recall. The CPSC said that there has been one child death and 70 other injuries tied to the treadmills. But when the federal safety agency issued a warning about the dangers last month, Peloton took the unusual step of refusing to recall them.

The Republic of Iran had a problem throughout the 2010s: How to sell oil to countries like China that didn’t want to flout U.S. and EU sanctions aimed at Iran’s nuclear program. It was a problem solved in part by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, a state bank, and a money launderer, Reza Zarrab.

Though he worked in the shadows, Zarrab’s extravagant lifestyle made him famous in Istanbul, where he was known as “The Turkish Gatsby.”

His 2016 arrest in Miami established him as the star witness in what became the long-running prosecution of Halkbank, Turkey’s leading state-owned bank.

The suit named both U.S. Stem Cell and Kristin Comella, its former chief scientific officer who resigned in 2019 — and a co-author of the now-retracted study.

The authors were affiliated with a variety of public and private institutions in the United States, Mexico, India and Puerto Rico, including most notably U.S. Stem Cell, which trumpeted the study — and another article, which remains intact — in a Dec. 1, 2017 press release and includes it in its roster of trials.

The company is involved in an ongoing legal battle with the U.S. government,
