The F.D.A. recently announced it was reviewing a study involving Incretin Mimetic drugs. These drugs work to treat type 2 diabetes but have been linked to acute pancreatitis. Further, the study that is the subject of the FDA review purports to show that there is also an increased risk of pancreatic and thyroid cancers. The drug may cause an increase in tumors in the thyroid and pancreas which could become malignant (cancerous).
With 25 million diabetics in the United States, Incretin Memetic drugs comprise a large segment of the diabetes drug market. These drugs include Januvia, Janumet, Byetta and Victoza. Januvia, for instance, brought in revenue over $4 Billion. Janumet, a combination of Januvia and another popular drug, (Metformin) had sales of $1.65 Billion.
With the changing safety profile of these drugs, new concerns about their efficacy and benefits have been raised. A number of lawsuits have been initiated against the products manufacturers.
