Company news

Indiana has added 220 startups and more than 8,000 jobs in its $27 billion life sciences industry since 2002, according to a report commissioned by BioCrossroads, the Indianapolis-based life sciences development group. Despite the presence of pharmaceutical firms such as Eli Lilly and Co., medical-device manufacturing represented the biggest chunk of employment in Indiana: 20,300, or 35.5 percent, of life sciences workers. Indiana ranks third, behind New Jersey and Massachusetts, in highest quotient of life sciences workers. Though noting Indiana has made big strides to emerge as a national center in the life sciences, the report makes it clear the state still has needs. These include better access to seed/early-stage and venture capital, a more skilled work force and more focus on emerging areas such as health information technology and contract manufacturing.

The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to revive a bid to press a class-action suit against Eli Lilly and Co. over the marketing of the antipsychotic Zyprexa, according to Bloomberg News. A group of pension funds, unions and insurers claimed they represented a class of third-party payors who spent $6.8 billion more on Zyprexa than they should have, because Lilly made fraudulent claims about Zyprexa’s safety and effectiveness and promoted it for non-approved uses. A federal appeals court had said the case wasn’t appropriate for class-action status and told a trial judge to consider whether the plaintiffs filing the suit could press their individual claims. Indianapolis-based Lilly in 2009 pleaded guilty to promoting Zyprexa for unapproved uses and agreed to pay $1.4 billion in criminal and civil penalties.
