Pfizer (PFE)


Pfizer Stock rises ahead of three-day review.


Shares of Pfizer Inc., the world's largest drug maker, rose more than 2 percent on today ahead of an upcoming U.S. Food and Drug Administration meeting to review the risks and benefits of painkillers, including the company's own Celebrex. A panel of academic scientists are to meet to advise the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on the safety of Cox-2 inhibitors such as Celebrex, Bextra and the withdrawn Vioxx. They will also discuss the safety of older anti-inflammatory medicines such as Aleve and Motrin. The FDA has allotted three days for the work, a clear sign of controversy.

Stock Analysis
It will be an especially important meeting for Pfizer, which makes Celebrex and Bextra. The meeting is likely to determine the future of those drugs, if any. The discussion may also have an impact on Pfizer's potential liability. Even if Celebrex and Bextra don't make it through the meeting, Pfizer could look like a winner to investors as long as it doesn't face a massive liability cloud like the ever-ballooning diet-drug litigation that has weighed on smaller rival Wyeth for years.

Pfizer told drug regulators that its analysis of 41 of its own patient trials involving more than 40,000 patients found no evidence that Celebrex increased heart problems. Celebrex is one of Pfizer's best-selling medications, with $3.3 billion in sales last year. Pfizer's analysis was included in documents the FDA released this past Friday for public viewing ahead of the three-day hearings.

Shares of Pfizer gained notably on Monday following news that the company has told U.S. regulatory officials that all of its in-house clinical studies show its pain reliever Celebrex is safe. Pfizer shares were up 2.77 percent to $24.90 in trade Monday morning. Pfizer's stock rose 65 cents to $24.88 during afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Shares of Pfizer fell to $23.52 December 17 when concerns about Celebrex's risks appeared. The stock rose to more than $27 at the start of 2005, but has moved steadily lower to $23.80 on February 1st.
