UPDATE: The Cancer Medications Thalomid & Revlimid Class Action Settlement was granted final approval by the court on October 2, 2020. Please note that claims will not be paid until after the claim submission deadline. Top Class Actions will continue to provide updates as we learn more.
A $34 million settlement has been reached between drug maker Celgene and customers who alleged that the company engaged in a price fixing scheme to raise the cost of cancer medications.
Class Members include all of those patients or third-party payors who paid for cancer medications Thalomid or Revlimid in California, the District of Columbia, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, or Tennessee any time before May 20, 2020.
The Celgene cancer medications class action lawsuit was filed by cancer patients, their families, and insurers. They claimed that the drug maker conspired to keep cheaper, generic versions of these cancer drugs from entering the market in an effort to generate more profit from their name-brand drugs.
According to the Thalomid, Revlimid price fixing class action lawsuit, this caused consumers and insurers to have to pay more for cancer medications than they otherwise would have.Â
Patients and insurers had filed multiple lawsuits against Celgene which were then combined into one multidistrict litigation. Celgene denies any wrongdoing, but has agreed to settle the Thalomid, Revlimid class action claims in the interest of avoiding the continued costs and risks of litigation.Â
Class Members will be eligible for a proportional share of the settlement fund, after attorneys’ fees are paid from it.
The deadline to submit a claim is Oct. 15, 2020. Claims can be submitted electronically on the settlement website. There are separate claim forms for consumers and third-party payors.Â
Some Class Members may have already submitted a claim to participate in a 2019 class action settlement with Celgene. Those consumers are not required to file a new claim, but can submit a supplemental claim for additional purchases of the drugs made after Aug. 1, 2019.
If you have not previously filed a claim, you can file a claim now. If you have previously filed a claim, you can file using a Supplemental Consumer Claim Form which will be available shortly.
Consumers who receive benefits from the cancer medications settlement will give up their right to pursue independent litigation against Celgene over the claims at issue in the Thalomid, Revlimid price fixing class action lawsuit.
Class Members can elect to exclude themselves from the settlement Class if they want to retain their rights to independent litigation and do not want to receive settlement benefits. The deadline for Class Members to exclude themselves from the settlement is Sept. 15, 2020.
Class Members who wish to remain in the settlement Class but do have objections to the terms of the settlement are invited to object by Sept. 15, 2020. Objections can be submitted by writing to the court.Â
Class Members are invited but not required to attend a fairness hearing on Sept. 30, 2020. Class Members who object to the settlement may ask to speak at the hearing about their objection.
The rights of all Class Members are affected whether or not they choose to submit a claim for benefits. If a Class Member does nothing, and does not file a benefits claim and does not exclude themselves from the benefits, they will receive no benefits and will give up the right to independently sue Celgene over the claims in the cancer medications price fixing class action lawsuit.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members include all of those patients or third-party payors who paid for Thalomid or Revlimid in California, the District of Columbia, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, or Tennessee any time before May 20, 2020.

I got an emai today I guess there almost ready to start distributing the payments owed out it also said that if I do not hear from them in 90 days to reach back out to them
What made you believe they are almost ready to start distributing? Did they actually tell you that ?
I received an email yesterday as well saying they have not made determinations on any claims.
It doesnt seem like they are close to distribution if they are still processing claims.
Hello:
I just sent them an email yesterday to find out when we will receive our settlement.
It took 4 weeks for them to email me back as to the status of my claim so good luck!
They said that they don’t have a record of my claim… now I’m pissed!!! I think they don’t want to pay out… WTF is going on here???
Wow! Who hurt you? Do you feel better about yourself spitting out mean words to someone else like a keyword warrior? You know that you are a real asshole. You must be single and living in your parents basement. So so sad.
He hurt himself. He’s mad because he’s broke.
Imagine being that angry inside – he should be pitied if anything
They also told me that. I sent them my claim number and confirmation email. Then they said they are still processing my claim
Anything for updates? I haven’t gotten any responses from the emails sent… shouldn’t they be ready to release funds by now?
Contact the lead attys for the case if u want a response. Once the attys get paid its like they no motivation to do anything else, everything is left to the claims administrator & and they take their precious time and do it how they want to do it until nudged by the attys.
