Relief To Pfizer, Sanofi As US Dismisses Several Lawsuits Associated With Zantac


27% profit every 20 days?

This is what Nic Chahine averages with his option buys. Not selling covered calls or spreads… BUYING options. Most traders don’t even have a winning percentage of 27% buying options. He has an 83% win rate. Here’s how he does it.


  • U.S. District Judge Robin Rosenberg in Florida has dismissed about 50,000 claims associated with GSK Plc (NYSE:GSK), Pfizer Inc (NYSE:PFE), Sanofi SA (NASDAQ:SNY), and Boehringer Ingelheim, claiming that the heartburn drug Zantac caused cancer, as a judge found the claims were not backed by solid science.
  • The move does not directly affect tens of thousands of similar cases pending in state courts around the country.
  • The litigation initially included claims of over ten types of cancer allegedly linked to Zantac but was later narrowed to bladder, esophageal, gastrointestinal, liver, and pancreatic cancer. 
  • Citing a Sanofi spokesperson, Reuters reported that the decision "significantly decreases the scope of the litigation potentially by over 50%," with the remaining litigation being only in state court.
  • GSK said the company welcomed the decision, and Pfizer said it was pleased by the outcome.
  • The first state trial is currently scheduled to begin in February in California.
  • In August, the plaintiff dismissed GSK's first scheduled Zantac related-cancer trial out of 3,000, noting that it did not settle the claim and has not paid anything in exchange for the voluntary dismissal.
  • Price Action: SNY shares are down 2.62% at $47.28, and GSK shares are down 3.16% at $36.72 during the premarket session on the last check Wednesday.
