12 FCA Complaint in U.S. v. Scios Filed June 11, 2009 Focuses on Natrecor (approved IV treatment for acute decompensated CHF Alleges promotion for serial, scheduled out-patient infusions Qui tam complaint filed in 2005 by former Area Manager PCF: Trends in Pharma Enforcement & Compliance 12

15 PCF: Trends in Pharma Enforcement & Compliance 15

16 Insights and Analysis Scrutiny of how companies compile and disclose clinical study results. While often characterized as involving false and misleading communications, many do not involve outright falsehoods; rather, they are premised on communications that are misleading by omission of contrary or negative study data. Despite controversy over prosecution of truthful, non-misleading offlabel promotional activities by manufacturers, DOJ actions generally have focuses allegations of false and misleading statements made with intent to defraud. The Scios complaint is a notable exception, though DOJ may narrow its focus as the case proceeds. Prosecutors are scrutinizing "traditional" sales and marketing practices, including "ghostwriting," reimbursement support activities and interactions with compendia, formulary sponsors, and payor organizations. PCF: Trends in Pharma Enforcement & Compliance 16

17 Key Take-Aways Given DOJ approach of viewing individual acts (which themselves might not be unlawful) as part of broader scheme to defraud or mislead, compliance and risk strategies should look holistically at categories of activities (and overall product marketing plans/activities) rather than viewing individual activities/programs in isolation Manufacturers should expand compliance programs to cover risk-areas beyond traditional sales and marketing activities. Examples: Full range of clinical research and medical affairs activities, Activities involving coverage, reimbursement and payor interactions Tracking and other mechanisms to ensure on-going compliance with commitments made to FDA (such as in response to Warning or untitled letters, 483 responses, meetings with FDA review personnel).
