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.

what a load of buII$h!t!!!
the amounts listed on the “motion_to_authorize_distribution_of_the_settlementment funds” is correct.
i got approved for $14,000 Revlimid (consumer) and just got my check today for $45!! if you can do basic math, that is 0.32% of the $14,000
i am so angry right now! i even submitted proof of purchase too.
the people saying that we will be getting 15% are Iying! those who got approved for Revlimid are only getting 0.32% of what they claimed for!!!! not 15%….
A lady posted in the group and her check was 1,300.
Yeah another person showed a picture of their check in one group and it was $745.19 but, they have now removed their post.
Yes I saw that his name was bill cesavice
I received my check $19.50. Thank you!!!

Not in tmrws mail either, according to informed delivery. I wonder if ppl saying they got theirs today are actually telling the truth?
I just saw a lady in a group post it’s in her informed delivery for tommorow
People are really getting checks- in the class action fb group people is taking pix of check posting. My informed delivery shows I have one coming tomorrow- of course I have no clue how much it’s for though.
If you look at the Court Documents from the website above and open up motion to authorize distribution and hit ctrl F and put in your claim ID it will tell you what you are approved for
Got mine today for $388.80 it was about 15% of what I claimed so the person that mention 15% was right.
Bobbie the amount on the motion authorize distribution is that the same about you got just wondering if you would not mine checking thanks in advance have a wonderful weekend
I don’t have a claim # it’s been so long since I filed this that I don’t remember getting one and I think I might have mailed mine in. I wish I did know the claim# so, I could look it up to see if it matches or is more or less….Hmmm. I wonder if it was on my attachment letter with the check bc, I deposited the check and threw away the attachment.
Two years for just a few bucks….Wow these people need to stop but, the lawyers and everyone else made out with good pay. Rip the consumers off America.
Received a check in the mail today for $9.81, thanks TCA :)
Oh it’s true from Illinois
Third party payors got majority there was only about 15% allocated to consumers
