According to the justice department, in 2002 Brisbane-based InterMune put out a press release under the direction of former CEO Scott Harkonen saying a clinical trial showed Actimmune effective in treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
The trial however, showed the exact opposite.
Actimmune has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration only for severe osteoporosis and chronic granulomatous disease.
As a result, former Intermune CEO Scott Harkonen was indicted Tuesday on charges he falsely promoted the company’s drug Actimmune as a lung disease treatment. InterMune agreed in October 2006 to pay almost $37 million to resolve criminal and civil charges in connection with the allegations.

Re your posted AP artical: Former Biotech CEO Indicted on Drug Charges Are you aware that your AP story re Brisbane-based InterMune former CEO Scott Harkonen has only one out of 20 authentic reader responses with the other 19 remarks being completely bogus and nonsensical? Are you sponsored by the corporations that you appear to be exposing, or are you just asleep at the switch? If you are an authentic site, and want to build have credibility, serve the public interest and build traffic — you’re gonna have to start filtering out the the BS! If you are a hypocritical site driven by corporate dollars, shame on you! |
