“K-RAS testing should be routinely conducted in
all colorectal cancer patients immediately after
diagnosis to ensure the best treatment strategies
for the individual Patient”
- Dr. Eric Van Cutsem, presenter at the June 2008 American
Society of Clinical Oncology meeting
FDA recommends genetic screening prior to
treatment with Abacavir
ROCKVILLE, Md -- July 24, 2008 -- The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has
issued an alert regarding serious, and sometimes fatal, hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs)
caused by abacavir (Ziagen) therapy in patients with a particular human leukocyte antigen
(HLA) allele, HLA-B* 5701.
Genetic tests for HLA-B*5701 are already available, and all patients should be screened for
the HLA-B*5701 allele before starting or restarting treatment with abacavir or abacavir-
containing medications.
“FDA has approved the expanded use of
Selzentry… to include adult patients with CCR5-
tropic HIV-1 virus who are starting treatment for
the first time.”

1) During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded restructuring and other special charges of $27.9 million. The charges included $4.0 million in severance and other
personnel costs along with $9.8 million in facility-related costs associated with the integration of Genzyme Genetics. The charges also included a $14.8 million write-off of an
investment made in a prior year. The after tax impact of these charges decreased net earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, by $16.9 million and diluted earnings per
share by $0.16 ($16.9 million divided by 103.2 million shares).
|
2) During the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded net charges of $9.3 million relating to severance payments and the closing of redundant and underutilized facilities as
well as the write-off of development costs incurred on systems abandoned during the quarter. The after tax impact of these charges decreased net earnings for the quarter ended
March 31, 2010, by $5.7 million and diluted earnings per share by $0.05 ($5.7 million divided by 106.5 million shares).
|
3) The Company continues to grow the business through acquisitions and has begun using Adjusted EPS Excluding Amortization as a measure of operational performance,
growth and shareholder returns. The Company believes adjusting EPS for amortization will provide investors with better insight into the operating performance of the business.
For the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, intangible amortization was $21.9 million and $17.4 million, respectively ($13.2 million and $10.5 million net of tax,
respectively) and decreased EPS by $0.13 ($13.2 million divided by 103.2 million shares) and $0.10 ($10.5 million divided by 106.5 million shares), respectively.
