LONDON/PARIS (Reuters) - Shares of GSK and Sanofi surged in early trading on Wednesday, following the dismissal of thousands of U.S. lawsuits claiming that the heartburn drug Zantac caused cancer. Zantac, first approved in 1983, became the world’s best selling medicine in 1988 and one of the first-ever drugs to top $1 billion in annual sales. The decision bodes well for state cases too, they wrote in a note. Shares of Haleon, which comprises consumer health assets once owned by GSK and Pfizer and spun out as an independent company in July, also rose 5%. Barclays analysts said they viewed Zantac as substantially derisked, “leaving Haleon investible again for those without the appetite for pharma litigation risk.”

Shingrix generated sales of 760 million pounds ($873 million) compared with the GSK-compiled analyst consensus forecast for 685 million pounds. In July, GSK had predicted 2022 sales growth of 6% to 8% and adjusted operating profit to climb by 13% to 15%, both increases on forecasts issued in February. GSK said it had incurred a charge of 45 million pounds in the third quarter, primarily reflecting provisions for increased legal fees related to heartburn drug Zantac. Originally marketed by a forerunner of GSK, Zantac has been sold by several companies at different times, including Pfizer (PFE.N), Boehringer Ingelheim and Sanofi (SASY.PA) as well as a plethora of generic drugmakers.

REUTERS/Brendan McDermidLONDON, Sept 20 (Reuters) - Haleon (HLN.L) on Tuesday said it had notified GSK (GSK.L) and Pfizer (PFE.N) that it had rejected their requests for indemnification in relation to U.S.-based litigation over the heartburn drug, Zantac. More than 2,000 legal cases related to Zantac have been filed in the United States over allegations that the compound contains a probable carcinogen. Zantac, originally marketed by a forerunner of GSK, has been sold by several companies at different times, including Pfizer, Boehringer Ingelheim and Sanofi (SASY.PA) as well as a plethora of generic drugmakers. Haleon - alongside GSK, Sanofi and Pfizer - saw billions wiped off their market value last month as uncertainty around the outcome of the impending litigation triggered investor concern, although some of those losses have been since pared back. However, in August, Haleon clarified that it never marketed Zantac in any form in the U.S., either as Haleon or as GSK consumer healthcare.
