Nigeria sues Pfizer for £3.5bn over ‘illegal’ child drug trials
· Unproven meningitis therapy ‘killed 11 children’
· Company says it followed country’s rules

The Nigerian government is suing the world’s largest drug manufacturer, Pfizer, for £3.5bn in damages for allegedly carrying out illegal trials of an anti-meningitis drug that killed and disabled children.
The children died or suffered serious side effects when the antibiotic Trovan was administered in Kano during a meningitis outbreak in 1996.
The government of Kano, a northern state in Nigeria, also has civil and criminal cases pending against Pfizer.
The Nigerian authorities say 200 children were involved in the Trovan experiment, without the approval of local regulatory authorities. They allege that as many as 11 died because of the treatment and that others developed deformities, including brain damage and paralysis.
Trovan was approved in the US in 1997 for use by adults but not by children. Two years later the US Food and Drug Administration warned that the drug could cause liver damage. The medicine has since been discontinued.

Pfizer Case Over Test That Killed 11 Kids Could Blow the Lid Off Foreign Drug Trials
The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to send the Pfizer (PFE) Trovan case to trial threatens to do the one thing the pharmaceutical industry most wishes won’t happen: Reveal to Americans exactly how foreign drug trials are unregulated, sometimes dangerous and often unreliable.
The seemingly endless Trovan case involves Pfizer’s test of a meningitis drug on 200 children in Kano, Nigeria, in 1996. Pfizer failed to get proper consent for the trial. Eleven kids died and the drug was eventually nixed because it was too dangerous. The events may have inspired the book and film, The Constant Gardener. Pfizer has attempted to do the right thing in recent years by settling the case for $75 million, but it’s been stymied by local bureaucracy and corruption.
One friend-of-the-court brief filed in support of Pfizer was from the Washington Legal Foundation. Why might this conservative legal think tank have a sudden interest in the intricacies of the Alien Tort Statute (the law at stake in the Supreme Court appeal)? All will be revealed …

Secret report surfaces showing that Pfizer was at fault in Nigerian drug tests

A secret Nigerian government report concluded that the drug manufacturer Pfizer undertook an “illegal trial of an unregistered drug” when the company enrolled nearly 100 Nigerian children with meningitis in a trial testing its antibiotic trovafloxacin (Trovan) against ceftriaxone during a 1996 meningitis epidemic.
Families of the children, their attorneys, and the media have been seeking the results of the report for five years without success until the report was leaked last week to the Washington Post (7 May, sect A: 1) by a source who asked to remain anonymous because of “personal safety” concerns.
The Washington Post article said that “aspects of the affair remain mysterious, such as why the report remains confidential.” The head of the investigative panel behind the report, Abdulsalami Nasidi, a virologist and senior Nigerian health official, told the Washington Post he did not know why the report was never released. The panel was set up in 2001 to determine whether the trial was conducted legally (BMJ 2001;322:194).
A class action suit filed on behalf of the children’s families in a federal court in New York alleges that Pfizer did not inform families that trovafloxacin was an experimental treatment and that it failed to obtain informed consent (BMJ 2001;323:592). The lawsuit was dismissed last summer after a judge decided that the US court did not have jurisdiction to hear it, a decision the plaintiffs are appealing.
