Re: lantus causes cancer
Now NN is sending this e-mail to their reps about a commercial “if you have taken Lantus and have cancer please call this lawyer.” I guess now they are recruiting for law suites and will let the patients know who to contact

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! I have been calling on about 15 providers/day getting this information out and not one of them is concerned.
PS. People who have a high school education will not be reading the wall street journal tomorrow. They will be tuning in to Michael Jacksons funeral. We have NOTHING to worry about!

Wouldn't you like to know how we're using this piece? Truly, I can't blame you for getting upset. We are all fed the corporate spin on each of our products. I'm sure you are doing a great job in your market and your probably have one of the SA CP posters here as a rep in your territory that is not confident enough to stand behind and defend their product. Good for you. I would take it all the way to the bank laughing if I were in your shoes too. I'm not that rep, though. I have a strong scientific background, 22+ years in the industry, read and understand clinical data better than most doctors so I can really talk specifically to IGF findings. (yes, I do have oncology experience in my background.) My lantus market share is over 65% and levemir is 6%. Moron? I don't think so. Just experienced, confident, and respected in my territory. I can sell Lantus off your sales piece as well as my own. It's something we all should be able to do ... even you mr. novorep.

That's stupid and untrue. It's time to quit lying. It's all starting to catch up with you now. First Ketek and now Lantus. How many times do you have to kicked in the face by your management to relaize they don't give a shit about your credibility in the field or about patients? They are going to feed you half-information and tell you to go sell....right up until the point that your drug gets taken off the market. More data is coming about Lantus and its cancer risk....it's from the US...and it looks MUCH worse than what's already been published. We know it, and so does your management. What? They haven't mentioned more data to you yet? What a surprise. Have fun selling Lantus......for a few more months

oops. I need to make a correction. I just checked my numbers and levemir is only at 4% not the 6% I originally quoted.

The data regarding glargine has been around for a very long time, since way before it came to market with the brand name. Look in your PI for mutagenesis data folks.
There is another surprise around the corner for all of you naive S-A reps, who think that bashing Novo reps is such a fun thing to do. It's not over yet for you and your "it doesn't have a link to cancer" insulin.
By the way, there is plenty of supporting data for Novo insulins, and even Humalog, that demonstrates the low affinity for the IGF-1 receptor.
Cannot say the same for Lantus.
Can you say significantly higher affinity? Uh-oh..

Re: lantus causes cancer
Guys (and gals), EVERYBODY LOSES!!! I sold Bextra and have seen the same crap flying back and forth between Vioxx and Bextra reps.. The point is, once the lawyer commercials begin airing, EVERYBODY LOSES!! They did the same thing with Byetta's issues a few months back -- they link Januvia with it! Honestly, we are in a shaky economy, our healthcare system is drastically changing (thank you, Mr. President) and lawyers are salivating to grab a piece of the pie. Family practice docs are baffles as to what to do at this point. Lantus is a good drug, efficacious, and has a proven track record...However, it is being targeting regardless how shitty the study may be. Physicians and patients will link it all together and freak making our and the physicians' job way harder than it needs to be. I'm a Novo rep and am concerned for MY job!!! If you think the FDA will now approve liraglitide at this point, you are smoking crack. It's a sad week for everyone -- everyone loses on this one...

I keep trying your approach. When I spoke to another one of my physicians today that is curious why his S-A rep isn't addressing the published data about the cancer risk with Lantus, I told him "scoreboard, Doctor, scoreboard." He asked me what I meant, and I told him that Lantus has a higher maket share than Levemir. His response was "Not for long...."

In that case, let's look at the global sales for insulin.... the largest scoreboard there is.....
Now, you can shut your fucking pie-hole because no one outsells NN globally - no one. That is a fact

Again, comparing a planet to a ball of gas... perfect! just like your studies - always compare two different things.
Novolog is the market leader for rapid.
Novolog Mix is the leader for mix.
Yep you have the lion's share for basal... but that makes it 2 out of 3 categories - We win. Plus, total sales in insulin world wide- uh, we win again.
WE WIN YOU LOSE - go f&ck your scoreboard you dick.
I'm not playing this game any longer. - We win - you lose and I will not come back to this web site.... so I'm getting the last word - I WIN YOU LOSE and you are a dick and have to live with the fact that no one loves you. GOOD BYE!!

Re: lantus causes cancer
You dumb ass! Why do you think Novo sold you the compound?
I'll give you the answer (you seem a little thick):
NNI was afraid of the CANCER RISK.
A number of endos have already said they're going to Levemir for their new starts and they are switching Lantus patients over 50u to Levemir. This could be fun... Oh -- and when they switch these patients, they haven't said anything about being concerned about BID dosing or that they'll have to use more.
The only concern they have is that Lantus may cause cancer...

OOOoooooohhhhh...Lantus is SAFE. OK. I must have misread the 4 studies that cited a possible link between Lantus and Cancer. My bad. But now that you've posted on CafePharma that Lantus is safe, I guess I better believe it.
I'll add that to my repetoire in my doc's office on Monday. When he tells me he's concerned about the potential link between Lantus and cancer and he still wonders why S-A is ducking the issue, I'll first tell him "Scoreboard, doctor, scoreboard." After that I'll say, "Studies be stupid, doc. CafePharma say Lantus is SAFE!"
Nice argument, chump.
I've looked at the scoreboard....time's running out on Lantus.

LOOK AGAIN AT THE SCOREBOARD LITTLE NOVO BOY - and while you are at it can you honestly define a "study" - you make my argument so easy you are simply the typical uninformed novo boy that needs to look up, yes look up and realize scoreboard baby scoreboard - lantus 88% levebid 12% - just facts not spin

I think Novo-boy has been choking his chicken a little too long on all this. I talked to many high target docs in my territory last week. I was very upfront with the data. NOBODY, I repeat NOBODY was concerned or planned to make Rx changes. I've been hearing pretty much the same around the district.

Published in a peer reviewed journal. Go ahead and try to attack an observational study or restrospective analysis or whatever you want. It'll show your docs how desperate you are. The data was published...that's enough to be more reputable than YOU.
Take a picture of your scoreboard while you still can. This is the last time it will look this way.

Before you go throwing stones you'd better look at the other side of this picture...all insulin (yes all) is a growth factor...when you give insulin you bathe the cells in a larger concentration of insulin than would normally be there without diabetes...when tumor cells are present they will be bathed in a growth factor the same as normal cells but they will grow abnormally fast...maybe faster still...the issue may not be cause cancer but stimulate cancer cells to grow even faster! Also the link with pulmonary fibrosis and insulin may be the same issue...All the insulins and particularly basils may have the same yoke..so be careful with your chunking!

Ahhhhhhh...the class effect argument. This is simply admitting that your drug increases the risk for cancer and hoping the others do too. Unfortunately, you're wrong. Look at IGF-1 receptor affinity if your concerned about tumor cells growing abnormally fast. This is NOT a class effect--I'll know you'll try to drag all insulin down with you, but this is a LANTUS issue. Not a single other insulin has an IGF-1 receptor affinity anywhere close to Lantus'. Nice try...at least you'll go down swinging.
My bonus: $13K
Yours: $8K
Scoreboard!

Re: lantus causes cancer
Before we go bashing the "Studies" that were quoted in the EASD article, could we please understand what they are. They aren't studies, they are composed of data collected from an insured patient base. The patients were't studied, they were diagnosed. Patients using Lantus demonstrated more cancer presentations than those taking human insulin. The German study had over 127K patients using either Human or Lantus insulin.
This data is the purest form of non-biased data you can get. You have patients using Lantus going to there Provider with symptoms, and being diagnosed with cancer. Did the Lantus cause the cancer..?? That's the question. If it were Novolog, Humalog or Levemir, you would be screaming at the top of your lungs it was a causal realationship. Since it's your drug, it's garbage. Similar to your "When is a unit not a unit" garbage.
Let me give you a scenerio, your child is at daycare or school. Several of the children at the daycare/school contract pertusis (whooping cough). Did the kids come into contact with whooping at the school or from an outside source. Not sure, but I'd sure as hell keep my kid home until I found out what the situation is. Wouldn't you? Maybe Lantus didn't have anything to do with the increased rates of Cancer, but maybe it did. Don't you think a HCP will pause before writing Lantus as often?

Re: lantus causes cancer
Just so all you dimwits know, that IGF receptor crap is a bunch of nonsense. A human can't take enough Lantus, or any other insulin, to activate the receptor. The doctors and pharmacists all understand this because it is common with many other drugs and many other receptor site. But keep talking about it so your customers can really understand how stupid you really are. Anybody with a science background would understand this. Oh, by the way, the patients in the Lantus arms were older than the patients in the NPH arms. Get it? Older = more cancer. Should I say that slower so you can understand?

Except in type 2 patients that produce their own endogenous insulin. That endogenous insulin will take priority at the insulin receptor site….. leaving an injected insulin circulating in the body. If it is not grabbed by the insulin receptors, where do you think it will go? Ding Ding Ding – the IGF receptor. Especially when the IGF afinity invitro for Lantus is over 600% This data has been published already – in 2000. I’m sorry to tell you but it does matter.
In the primary care or family care world, you may be right… it’s not a big deal yet. Ask an endo and you’ll get another story. Two of my pede endo CLINICS (not individual doctors) have started switching ALL kids off of Lantus for now… until the results are final.
Other endos have said – New starts will be put on Levemir until the water is clear. We did this without bashing your insulin. This is the 3rd go-around since 1999 about IGF’s link to cancer. I honestly believe that because this has made it’s way into the lime light AGAIN… Dr’s are a little more concerned and want to avoid a POTENTIAL risk. I was on Lantus for years,it works..... I’d rather go with a lower IGF until the jury returns, so will most doctors and so will most patients. Why would you risk a potential link to or chance of excelerating cancer?

um it's 14% for us. If you are going to be an annoying dick, at least be accurate.
My bonus was accurate at a little over 15k last quarter
How was your 8 k bonus? Scoreboard dickweed -
Next quarter your bonus will be 7k then 6, then 5, then 4, then 3, then 2, then the rope tightens and you have to explain to mommy that you can't afford to pay for her sex change.
I keep the score in my wallet -
Your market share means nothing to what hits my bank account you jizz guzzler.
I piss on your scoreboard.
