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.

Same
29.22 is all I waited for. Oh well
I got an email and never heard anything back can someone please help me I just need to update my address
I got same email. Sent back my address cause that’s what it says to do but no answer yet either
And still nothing from these people
Has anyone that received the email recently to cash. Or send new address…Heard from these people again?
I got an email saying they sent a payment to me but it was returned because my address was not up to date. I emailed them my new address and emailed them two more times trying to get some kind of confirmation but I haven’t received any response except for the first email they sent me.
So I finally got an email after emailing them three times them telling me that they got hundreds of emails back and that they’re working as fast as they can and in my mind they wrote all that to me why couldn’t they just work on my check. So who knows how much longer it will be
Just keep emailing them I did there reissueing me a check
Still nothing. LIAR’S
I’m going through the same thing with them. I got an email on 11/30 saying they updated my address and “forwarded” my request to have the check reissued. Not sure how long that will take but at least they seem to be working on it.
$58.25 received Saturday
I also got the same email on 11/4; I wrote back and they responded on 11/30 saying they updated my address and forwarded a request to have the check re-issued. I feel pretty confident I will get a check from them soon.
Still waiting on my check which they emailed me saying they send it to cash it promptly smh.
TCA can you please contact the settlement admin in this case? Several of us have not received our payments, our emails go unanswered, and the number they provided does not work and rings busy day in and day out.
Did not receive my disbursement check for my approved claim. Have attempted many times to phone KCC at the number provided but that phone number is not functioning. Have sent 3 emails, as well.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I’m having the same issue..
What I’m going to do today is send a certified ĺetter to the address. This is the worst.
Ok thanks I will try
She’s not picking up.
This is such a mess
Someone from the cancer medicine settlement call me today I will give the phone number
Can’t cash the check, have anyone spoken to or been contacted by admin??
Hey James i tried calling the number listed for a week and it stays busy emailed them 4 times no response
I did too. Busy signal, no reply.
still nothing!!!! the phone is busy! i dont understand how these people are cashing their checks!!!
I believe they’re doing this on purpose It makes no sense why we can’t get in contact with them regarding the disbursement of our funds. I wish TCA could get in contact with them some how and get an explanation because it’s disheartening. I’ve too sent emails and this far no response.
Recieved mine today with an extra 135.00 than what was on the court document. I assume that’s the interest.
They sent me a check for 875 they are having trouble verifying the check I can’t cash it anywhere
Me too! I thought it was just the teller being difficult
You’re the only one because you’re trying to cash at a payday loans place. Please try using an actual bank and report back.
I did go to an actual bank!
Michelle you still having problems with cashing your check did you try to just deposit it and let it sit and clear i haven’t got mine yet but I dont wanna have this problem but I can’t get in touch with anybody
Can u explain how u looked it’s up so I can help my sister or
Received a check in New York today.
WOW! Looked up the amounts consumers were getting and it’s literally PENNIES!!! I saw where folks were claiming over 15-20,000 for the medications, and still only received 45 to 150.00. So many people filed claims, and the payout was deplorable. But that’s what happens when EVERYONE (even those who didn’t qualify) fills out claim forms. It takes away from those who truly used the medication. Some folks were claiming 50-60,000.00 for the meds. SMH
$3100.00 2 day check Cancer was Overcome thk u Jesus
Congratulations 🎉
