Company news

Eli Lilly and Co.’s Byetta won a new market approval, which the company hopes will reverse the diabetes
drug’s recent sales decline. But the drug also was the subject of a new alert about kidney problems in patients taking
the drug. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration OK’d Byetta to be used sooner in patients suffering from poor blood
sugar control. But the FDA  also told doctors to be alert about kidney problems of some patients taking Byetta.
Before, the FDA called for Byetta to be used only after patients tried other drugs without success. Byetta, which Lilly sells
via a partnership with San Diego-based Amylin Pharmaceuticals Inc., suffered a 5-percent decline in U.S. sales in the 12 months
year, to $171 million in the third quarter. Worldwide Byetta sales totaled $593 million through
the first nine months of this year, a 5-percent increase compared with the same period in 2008.

The FDA said a new titanium implant
to re-stabilize the spine, made by Zimmer Holdings Inc., showed good
results in a  clinical trial. But the FDA also noted that physicians who had received consulting payments from Warsaw-based
Zimmer turned in patient results better than physicians who were not paid by Zimmer, according to the Associated Press. The
FDA noted the correlation was not statistically significant, but it will asks a panel of orthopedic specialists to weigh in
on the new device and decide whether Zimmer should provide more data before approving it for sale. The agency is not required
to follow the group’s advice, though it usually does.
