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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Yes I see someone put my name on here and was talking crap well I am sorry for the ones that are really looking for updates that what this was for talk to talk crap but I did receive A good email today but now I don’t want to post it cuz I don’t want to offend anyone sorry
take your mail and put it where the sun dont shine dear. we all know you are a tca employee. telling lies and getting people to come look so your ad revenues go up. thing you don’t know is. i work with you and don’t like you. sleeze.
That’s fine. If any emails are actually going out… someone else will post it. Take your drama to Facebook. No one is gonna beg you for useless info here.
Hello Everyone:
Happy Holidays.
Has anyone heard any news on the distribution of the settlement funds?
Thank you
yes we all know what is happening. we all also decided not to tell you. go hug a cat or something, and be quiet.
Didn’t you think the lawyers handed out the money? LOL! And you’re saying all that unnecessary garbage?
I agree. She was civilly asking for an update. That was not called for. I guess some people can’t help making a fool of themselves.
who asked you for your bad mouth and mind to reply to something u know nothing about. are unthe chair spokesmen of this committee.
God forbid
hush up tarina u troublemaker big mouth
This is the real tarena please don’t use my new on here to talk crap and to everyone else happy holidays
Do anybody no when payouts.or you. I put claim long time ago
Does anyone know what the hiccup is on them getting this payment out there’s people that could use this money badly I just don’t understand what’s taking so long
I’m starting to wonder are these people real lawyers because they don’t seem like they know what they’re doing it’s been over a year now a lot of us could use this money desperately I mean desperately it’s something doesn’t change I’m going to have a horrible Christmas
Not the lawyers, it’s the claims administrators. When the settlement was approved over a year ago, the lawyers got paid and move on to other cases and its left to the claims admin to dither and bill the settlement fund for “time”
Received response from my email stating they do not have a claim for me on file. Sooo, I sent my claim number and email confirmation of the filing of my claim. Then received an email stating no claim determinations have been made. It’s insane.
Grrrr.
thank you for the update tho!
I dont think they mailed checks as stated in the email
Email from Admin:
Greetings,
The distribution is scheduled for the end of November. We are awaiting the Entry of Judgment from the Court.
Best,
Office of the Settlement Administrator
I just recieve email respond back it was stated they are still reviewing claims and that no distribution has been determine yet.for some reason I don’t think that is correct information if someone receive any other info please share
Settlement got final approval over a year ago (October 2020) there’s no legitimate reason why they keep delaying payment to claimants. I don’t even see on the docket where they’ve even asked the court for approval to distribute funds yet so we’re likely still months away
Any more up dates please share
I wonder did checks go out today
Received email advising they expect to pay out at the end of November. They are awaiting a Judgment from the court.
I see final approval was signed on October 30th
October 30th of 2020
To view your approved payment amount, go to settlement website, click on menu tab, then click court documents. Then scroll down to the bottom and click to view ‘plaintiffs motion to distribute settlement funds’
I don’t even see the docket where they’ve even submitted any motion for approval of distribution unless they’re not required to, which in cases like this, they are.
what makes one class action settlement subject to a motion to distribute if you know? Curious.
Checking to see if you have any New updates on the Thalomid litigation thanks?
We are completing the deficiency process and will then calculate the distribution in this matter. If you do not hear from our office in the next 90-days, please feel free to contact our office. This is the email they sent me
