Nexium Lawsuit Filed Over Stomach Cancer Diagnosis May 10, 2019 Irvin Jackson Add Your Comments According to allegations raised in a product liability lawsuit recently filed against AstraZeneca and Merck, side effects of Nexium resulted in the development of stomach cancer for a Georgia man. Daniel Hudson filed the complaint (PDF) in the U.S. District Court for New Jersey on April 30, alleging that the popular acid reflux and heartburn medication increases the risk of gastric cancer, yet the drug makers failed to provide adequate warnings to consumers or the medical community. According to the lawsuit, the link between Nexium and stomach cancer should have been anticipated as early as the late 1980s, with AstraZeneca ignoring ref flags. Rather than warning about the gastric cancer risk, the drug makers aggressively marketed Nexium, making it one of the most widely used brand-name medications on the market.

Most of the pending claims involve allegations that the drugs caused kidney problems, but a growing number of stomach cancer lawsuits are also being filed. In December 2013, a study published in the medical journal Gut indicated there was a link between proton pump inhibitors and gastric cancer, finding that long-term use of drugs like Nexium may double the risk. An association was previously suspected, particularly among individuals with Helicobacter pylori (HP) infections. However, the study found that the increased risk remained even after patients received HP infection treatment. As part of the coordinated pretrial proceedings in the federal MDL, a small group of injury lawsuits are being prepared for a series of early trial dates, which are expected to begin in late 2020. As more Nexium stomach cancer cases are brought in the coming months and years, it is likely that a separate “bellwether” process may be established to help the parties gauge how juries may respond to certain evidence and testimony that may be repeated throughout a number of claims.
