US advisers reject J&J/Bayer's Xarelto for acute coronary patients

By Anna Yukhananov

SILVER SPRING, Maryland (Reuters) - U.S. advisers recommended against expanding the use of Johnson & Johnson's blood thinner Xarelto as a way to reduce the risk of new heart attacks and strokes in people with heart problems.

A panel of outside experts to the Food and Drug Administration voted on Wednesday that the pill should not be approved for people with acute coronary syndrome.

J&J developed the drug in partnership with German drugmaker Bayer AG.

Xarelto is already approved for use to reduce the risk of blood clots in the legs and lungs of people who have had knee or hip replacement surgery. It is also approved to prevent strokes among people with a type of irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation.

But the companies wanted to expand its use to treat acute coronary syndrome, which refers to people who have heart attacks or chest pain, usually because of a blocked coronary artery.

About 1 million people in the United States are hospitalized each year after having an ACS episode, often a heart attack, according to researchers.

The trial tested Xarelto as an addition to aspirin, and other clot preventers like Bristol-Myers Squibb and Sanofi's Plavix, which are typically used to treat the condition.

By a vote of 6 to 4, with one abstention, the panel said Xarelto looked promising but missing data could skew results. They were also concerned about bleeding risks.

"I want to see better evidence that this strategy of adding (Xarelto) ...is robustly better for the patient," said Dr. Steven Nissen, panel member and chairman of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic. "And I just wasn't convinced."

The FDA usually follows panel recommendations, although it is not required to, and a final decision is expected by the end of June.

"We appreciate the thoroughness of the committee's review, and will ensure the questions raised today are addressed with the FDA," said Paul Burton, a vice president with Janssen Research & Development, the J&J unit that markets Xarelto.

THREE-WAY RACE

Xarelto is one of three new medicines that offer potential advantages over older drugs to prevent strokes and other dangerous conditions caused by blood clots, in a market worth up to $10 billion in annual sales, according to Wall Street forecasts.

Investors have tried to bet on which of the three will become the dominant player in a race between Xarelto, Eliquis from Pfizer Inc and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co and Boehringer Ingelheim's Pradaxa.

Pradaxa gained U.S. approval in 2010, while Eliquis is still under FDA review, with a decision expected by the end of June.

Xarelto's rivals failed in treating patients with ACS, giving Bayer and J&J a potentially distinct market -- although stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation is seen as the most lucrative use for the new drugs.

In a clinical trial of ACS, people who took a 2.5 milligram dose of Xarelto in addition to an aspirin and another anti-platelet medication had a 15 percent lower risk of having a stroke or dying from a heart attack than people just taking the other medicines, FDA reviewers said.

On the other hand, patients taking Xarelto had twice as much risk for a major fatal bleeding compared to the older drugs, while other kinds of bleeding were three times higher with Xarelto. But the overall rates were still low: only 0.1 percent of patients had fatal bleeding while taking the drug and 2 percent had some kind of bleeding.

The FDA advisers decided the balance between the heart benefits of Xarelto and its bleeding risks tilted against the drug because the company lost track of an average of 12 percent of patients during clinical trial. It was unclear how those patients fared while taking the medicine.

"Were there not questions about loss to follow-up and missing data, it would have been a yes," said Allan Coukell, a pharmacist and the panel's consumer representative, when explaining his 'no' vote on Xarelto.

J&J has said it expected some people to drop out of the final clinical trial since it enrolled about 15,500 patients and studied them for about 2 1/2 years, and the dropout rates were similar between people taking Xarelto and those on the older drugs, meaning the missing data should not impact the results.

Dewey & LeBoeuf pension plans seized; faces lawsuit

By Nate Raymond

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Regulators moved on Thursday to seize control of pension plans at Dewey & LeBoeuf, the latest sign of likely collapse at what was once a top U.S. law firm. Dewey also faced its first lawsuit over plans to fire hundreds of employees.

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation said it would take responsibility for three pension plans covering 1,800 current and future retirees. The plans were underfunded by $80 million, it said.

Angelo Kakolyris, a spokesman for Dewey, declined to comment.

Dewey has been struggling for weeks with partner defections and debt. It has warned employees that it could close its doors and it has said that New York prosecutors are probing allegations of wrongdoing by its former chairman, Steven Davis. Davis has denied wrongdoing.

In its statement, the pensions regulator said it was stepping in to secure its ability "to collect against the firm's affiliates that share funding responsibility for the pension plans."

The announcement came the same day an employee sued Dewey for failing to provide adequate notice of layoffs. The firm is firing about 450 people in its New York office effective Friday, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit was filed by Vittoria Conn, a worker in Dewey's document production department, who said the company owes her 60 days of pay because it failed to give adequate notice.

The lawsuit sought class-action status for others laid off by the company. Dewey "terminated approximately 450 employees at its (New York office) on or about May 7, 2012, effective on or about May 11," the lawsuit said.

The action was brought in federal court in New York under federal and state laws that require employers to give 60 to 90 days' notice before mass layoffs. Conn said she was notified Monday that her last day would be Friday.

While it was not known how many people Dewey employs in New York, the 450 layoffs would likely be a big chunk of its workforce in the city, and provided an indication of how fast the firm was unraveling. Spokespeople for the firm have declined to say how many employees will lose their jobs.

In 2011, Dewey employed 1,040 lawyers worldwide, according to an annual survey by the National Law Journal, a legal publication. More than 180 of its roughly 300 partners have announced they have left or will leave since the firm's troubles began. On Wednesday, two of the firm's top leaders, Jeffrey Kessler and Richard Shutran, said they would leave Dewey & LeBoeuf for other firms.

But it is employees and junior lawyers who face the toughest times in a job market still recovering from the recent U.S. recession, experts said.

"When it comes to associates and non attorney staff, those are the people I really feel for because they're going to have a much harder time getting work," said Kent Zimmermann, a legal consultant at the Zeughauser Group.

Insurer L&G names Wilson as new CEO

LONDON (Reuters) - British insurer Legal & General said finance chief Nigel Wilson would take over from outgoing Chief Executive Tim Breedon next month, confirming an appointment that had been widely expected in the industry.

Wilson, who joined L&G in 2009 and had been seen by analysts as Breedon's most likely successor, becomes group chief executive designate immediately, and will take over formally on June 30, Britain's fourth-biggest insurer said on Thursday.

Breedon, who has led L&G since 2006, will stay on until the end of the year to help the group lobby for changes to the European Union's planned Solvency II capital regime for insurers.

L&G announced his departure in September.

Wilson, formerly finance chief at United Business Media, is credited with simplifying L&G and refocusing it on cash generation in response to investor gripes that life insurers were opaque and capital-hungry, a strategy that has since been adopted across the industry.

"We think that this is a great appointment for L&G given his impressive performance since becoming finance director," Panmure Gordon analyst Barrie Cornes wrote in a note.

Wilson is the third consecutive L&G chief executive to be recruited from within. The company said his appointment followed "a thorough and exhaustive" recruitment process carried out with the help of an executive search firm.

Wadham Downing, L&G's group financial controller, becomes interim chief financial officer pending a permanent appointment, the insurer added.

Dewey encourages partners to seek new jobs: memo

By Nate Raymond

(Reuters) - New York law firm Dewey & LeBoeuf, struggling with a debt crisis and criminal probe of its former chairman, has "encouraged" its partners to seek new jobs, one partner said, citing an internal memo.

The email, sent on Monday night, also said members of the firm's executive committee and the four remaining members of the office of the chairman had decided to remain in their positions while seeking other opportunities, said the partner, who had seen the email and asked not to be named because he was not authorized to publicly discuss the matter.

But Martin Bienenstock, a member of the office of the chairman, told Reuters in an email on Tuesday that it was inaccurate to say that the memo encouraged partners to leave the firm, which is in talks with "many potential merger partners."

"Rather, it (the memo) explained that the partners who do not want to be part of a merger could look elsewhere," he said in the e-mail. "This way they would not be otherwise inhibited by duties to the partnership.

Dewey is in discussions with at least two other law firms about a possible transaction, including Patton Boggs, another person familiar with the matter said on Monday.

Bienenstock also said the firm is not contemplating a bankruptcy filing.

"If real property and equipment leases are assumed by other firms or renegotiated, and the lenders realize on their accounts receivable and inventory, there may be no need for judicial intervention," he wrote.

Bienenstock did not respond to additional questions about the memo. Dewey spokesman Duncan Miller said he did not have a copy of Monday's memo, and declined to comment on it.

The memo came as Dewey scrambled to negotiate with its lenders and continued discussions with firms about a potential transaction.

Patton Boggs is exploring opportunities short of a full merger, according to the source on Monday, who spoke on condition of anonymity. SNR Denton on Monday declined to confirm a report in The New York Times that it was also in talks about acquiring Dewey lawyers.

Talks with rival firm Greenberg Traurig about a possible transaction fell through, according to an internal e-mail sent Sunday and reviewed by Reuters.

News of the memo, which was first reported by The New York Times, followed discussions on Monday between Dewey and a bank group led by JPMorgan Chase & Co as the law firm sought to avoid defaulting on roughly $75 million in loans due Monday, a person familiar with the matter said on Monday.

As of Monday evening, Dewey and its lenders had all but completed a roughly two-week extension of the deadline, that source said.

It was unclear early on Tuesday if the situation had changed.

The firm disclosed on Friday that the Manhattan district attorney's office had opened a criminal investigation into "allegations of wrongdoing" by its former chairman, Steven Davis.

Meanwhile, partner defections continued, bringing the total to at least 92 since the start of the year.

Holland & Knight said on Tuesday that it had hired Stuart Saft, a New York real estate partner at Dewey, and Goodwin Procter announced it had hired Dewey lawyers Ilan Nissan and Christian Nugent as private equity partners.

Cooley LLP also said Tuesday that it had hired Dewey partner Lyle Roberts as a partner in its securities litigation practice in Washington.

By Ransdell Pierson

(Reuters) - Johnson & Johnson is sending in a former Army Ranger to clean up several big messes that have hurt its reputation, earnings and share price in the past three years.

Alex Gorsky said in an interview his biggest priority is to complete a revamping of the company's factories and manufacturing processes to fix quality control lapses that sparked huge recalls of Tylenol, Motrin and dozens of other consumer medicines over the past three years.

"Mission No. 1, 2 and 3 is getting these products back on the shelves," said the 51-year old who becomes chief executive at J&J's annual shareholders meeting on Thursday.

The company is working overtime, under close federal supervision, to revamp a big factory in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, where most of the Tylenol brands were manufactured.

The company had hoped to solve the problems by 2011, but now expects the task to stretch into 2013. Some analysts fret it could take until 2014, costing billions of dollars of additional lost sales and further jeopardizing consumers' brand loyalty.

"We are all disappointed but we are absolutely committed to getting these fixed, and moving on. And we're in the throes of that as we speak," Gorsky said, "with a lot of changes in place ... a lot of new processes, investments, new auditing procedures."

Gorsky has climbed the ladder at the diversified healthcare company from his start as a salesman in 1988, with senior management roles in the company's pharmaceuticals and medical device businesses.

The new CEO will also have to grapple with costly recall of approximately 93,000 metal-on-metal artificial hips made by J&J's DePuy orthopedics unit. The company recently took a $3 billion charge for the August 2010 recall of the defective ASR products.

J&J is expected to offer settlements to the patients who received the ASR devices, which have a failure rate approaching 30 percent -- three times the typical rate of similar rival devices. The devices were recalled about a year after Gorsky was named global chairman of J&J's medical devices group.

And federal investigators have asked Gorsky to personally testify in a lawsuit involving allegations the company improperly marketed its Risperdal schizophrenia drug for unapproved uses in children and the elderly.

An Arkansas judge earlier this month ordered J&J to pay a $1.1 billion penalty for alleged fraudulent marketing of the former blockbuster product. Similar lawsuits are pending in a number of other states, and the federal government is investigating the allegations.

Gorsky declined to comment on the hips and Risperdal litigation, citing the ongoing investigations and lawsuits.

He said his other biggest priorities are to successfully integrate J&J's biggest planned acquisition, of Swiss medical device maker Synthes, once the $21 billion deal is approved by U.S. regulators, and to steer a promising array of experimental drugs successfully through clinical trials.

REBOUNDING DRUG PIPELINE

"Where I see tremendous growth opportunity is continuing launches of our pharmaceutical brands," he said, following introductions of five new drugs in the past two years -- including promising treatments for prostate cancer and hepatitis C.

"I'd say our (drug) pipeline is as good or better than anyone in the industry," he said, noting that J&J's sales of prescription drugs are on the rebound following patent expirations on Risperdal, epilepsy treatment Topamax and its Levaquin antibiotic that left the medicines prey to generic competition.

J&J, whose hundreds of healthcare units have considerable autonomy, has generated reliable double-digit annual profit growth for most of the past century, largely through acquisitions.

But Gorsky declined to comment on which of J&J's three main businesses it might most bolster through deals in the next few years.

"We're always looking for big areas of unmet need and big growth opportunities. Having this diverse capability enables us to do things other companies cannot do," he said, such as combining drugs and medical devices into a single product -- like its experimental Sedasys sedation system for endoscopy patients.

J&J's current chief executive, William Weldon, will remain chairman of the company after Gorsky takes over as CEO. Although the company's shares have barely budged since Weldon took over a decade ago, he could receive more than $140 million in retirement pay when he eventually leaves the company, according to J&J regulatory filings.

Gorsky will become only the ninth top executive in J&J's 125-year history, meaning its CEOs have held sway for an average of almost 16 years each.

Asked if he planned to lead J&J that long, Gorsky quipped, "We try to manage the CEO business as we do our business, for the long term. That's the way I certainly hope to do it myself."

Gorsky is a graduate of West Point and spent six years in the U.S. Army, where he was a captain in the elite U.S. Army Rangers.

Beyonce shares family photos on new fan website

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - R&B superstar Beyonce gave fans some insight into her private life on Thursday with the relaunch of her website, featuring intimate snapshots of her daily routines the singer has carefully shielded from the public until now.

"This is my life, today, over the years - through my eyes. My family, my travels, my love. This is where I share with you. This will continue to grow as I do," the singer wrote on her new website.

Beyonce.com features a montage of candid shots from the singer's personal life including pictures of her on holiday, with her husband, rapper Jay-Z, and family and during her pregnancy.

One 15-second video shows the singer posing by a blue ivy tree during while pregnant, which perhaps provided the inspiration for her newborn daughter's name, Blue Ivy Carter.

"It's been a long time coming, but I finally have my own place on the web," the singer posted on her Facebook page, where she has 34 million fans.

Beyonce also took the opportunity of launching her new site to tweet her 3.5 million Twitter fans for first time.

The "Single Ladies" singer has kept her private life under wraps in the past, including getting married to Jay-Z in a shroud of secrecy in April 2008 and waiting five months after the event to debut her wedding ring.

But Beyonce, 30 and Jay-Z, 42, who were estimated to be worth $72 million by Forbes in 2011, have been slowly lifting the veil on their luxury life.

The couple released intimate pictures of Blue Ivy through social networking site Tumblr in February, shunning the popular celebrity choice of a lucrative magazine deal.

GSK's new once-daily HIV drug matches Merck rival

By Ben Hirschler

LONDON (Reuters) - A new once-daily AIDS drug from GlaxoSmithKline and its partner Shionogi proved just as good as Merck & Co's twice-daily rival Isentress in a late-stage clinical trial, boosting hopes for the product.

Both GSK's new drug dolutegravir and Isentress are so-called integrase inhibitors, a novel class of drugs for fighting HIV/AIDS that block the virus causing the disease from entering cells.

Dolutegravir is important for GSK since it could help rejuvenate its HIV/AIDS business - an area of medicine it used to dominate but where it has fallen behind rivals in recent years.

GSK and Shionogi said on Monday that their experimental drug dolutegravir showed non-inferiority to Isentress, or raltegravir, when given for 48 weeks alongside two older types of HIV/AIDS medicines.

In total, 88 percent of study participants on once-daily dolutegravir had their virus suppressed against 85 percent of those on twice-daily Isentress in the Phase III study. Tolerability was similar for both drugs.

Merck's drug, which had sales of $1.4 billion last year, is currently the only integrase inhibitor approved by regulators, although Gilead also has one in Phase III testing called elvitegravir.

Dolutegravir belongs to ViiV Healthcare, a joint venture formed between GSK and Pfizer in 2009 in which GSK holds an 85 percent stake, and income from the medicine will be shared with Shionogi.

The compound is viewed by analysts as a potential $1 billion-a-year seller, since the once-daily dosing is likely to be attractive to patients. However, the financial gain to GSK will be diluted by the sharing deals with Shionogi and Pfizer.

Results of further Phase III trials are being awaited before GSK is ready to submit dolutegravir to regulators for approval.

The experimental medicine is also being tested in Phase III in different groups of patients, including those who do not respond to Isentress, as well as in a combination product with GSK's Epzicom, which consists of the HIV drugs Ziagen and Epivir.

With results of these other Phase III clinical studies also due in 2012, dolutegravir could potentially be filed for approval with regulators before the end of this year, a company spokesman said.

Robin Thicke arrested in New York for pot

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Award-winning R&B singer Robin Thicke was arrested for marijuana possession after he was spotted smoking pot in a car on a New York City street on Thursday, police said.

Thicke, 34, was seated in a Cadillac Escalade driven by another person near Third Avenue and East 21st Street when he was seen lighting up a joint, police said.

"He was observed smoking marijuana and was found in possession of marijuana," a police spokesman said.

The driver was not arrested.

Authorities released an extremely cooperative Thicke after issuing him a ticket, but not before getting his autograph and snapping photographs with him.

The Grammy winning, platinum recording artist released his fifth studio album "Love After War" in December. He is the son of "Growing Pains" actor Alan Thicke.

Las Vegas (Reuters) - AT&T Inc announced plans to launch seven new smartphones and a tablet computer early this year for a new wireless network it is building, in an effort to catch up with bigger rival Verizon Wireless in high-speed wireless services.

The product line-up includes two phones using software from Microsoft Corp, which needs to regain ground lost in the smartphone market in the last several years.

One Microsoft phone will have a 16 megapixel camera from HTC Corp, a first for the U.S. market. The other is a smartphone from Nokia, which is also desperate to win over customers in the United States where it has lost out to rivals like Apple Inc iPhone in the last several years.

"AT&T is playing a critical role in our reentry strategy to the United states," Nokia Chief Executive Stephen Elop told the audience at AT&T's event on the sidelines of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Microsoft also came on stage at the AT&T event to encourage third party software developers to create applications for Microsoft phones to help it compete with iPhone.

"There's really no better time to be a developer on Microsoft platforms," Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said.

Attendees were left waiting until Monday afternoon to find out details of the phone from Nokia, which will hold its own press event.

Meanwhile, Current Analysis analyst Avi Greengart said the 16 megapixel HTC phone may not be a big advantage to users but he expected it to turn heads of consumers who are more used to phone cameras with 8 megapixels.

"There's little practical value to a 16 megapixel camera on a phone but its a spec that will turn heads at retail," he said. "It's not so much a question of blowing up cameraphone pictures to life size. It's about convincing consumers this phone can replace a point and shoot."

AT&T said it will also sell three new high-speed smartphones from Samsung Electronics as well as a high-speed phone from Sony Corp and Pantech.

In an unusual pricing move, AT&T also said it would sell Pantech Element, a waterproof tablet based on Google Inc's Android software, with the Pantech Burst smartphone for a combined price of $249.

AT&T emerging device executive Glenn Lurie said "the idea is to continue to make the barrier to entry lower" for consumers buying their first smartphones and tablets.

AT&T showed off the new products at its conference for developers at the sidelines of Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

(Reuters) - A senior Greenhill & Co Inc investment banker, an avid pilot who worked on some of his firm's biggest deals, was one of five people killed when his private plane crashed on a busy New Jersey highway on Tuesday.

Jeffrey Buckalew, 45, head of Greenhill's North American Advisory, was believed to have been traveling with his wife, Corinne, and their two children, Jackson and Meriwether, the boutique investment bank said in a statement.

Rakesh Chawla, 36, a Greenhill financial services sector banker, was also killed, the firm said in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The single-engine Socata plane took off from New Jersey's Teterboro Airport and was headed for DeKalb Peachtree Airport near Atlanta, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters said.

The causes of the accident are under investigation. Before the crash, the plane made contact with an air traffic controller asking for permission to seek higher altitude, which was granted, Peters said. Following this, the transmission became garbled and the plane fell off the radar, he added.

Buckalew, who joined Greenhill in 1996 from Salomon Brothers, was an experienced pilot with a passion for flying, Greenhill said.

Buckalew had advised on many of Greenhill's largest deals, including Delta Air Lines' $3.1 billion acquisition of Northwest Airlines and Roche's purchase of Genentech Inc for $46.8 billion.

Greenhill shares ended trading almost flat at $35.30, underperforming the Dow Jones U.S. Financial Services Index, which rose 3.8 percent on Tuesday.

"Jeff was one of the first employees of Greenhill. He and Rakesh were extraordinary professionals who were highly respected by colleagues and clients alike," Greenhill Chairman Robert Greenhill and Chief Executive Scott Bok said in a joint statement. "They will be sorely missed and our sympathies go out to their families and friends."

Chawla had joined the firm in 2003 from private equity firm Blackstone Group.

New Jersey State police Trooper Christopher Kay said five people were confirmed dead, but could not comment on their identities as the investigation was continuing.

Debris was sprayed across Interstate 287 near Morristown, New Jersey, as the plane hit the southbound lane on Tuesday morning and then travelled across into the northbound lane. Traffic was restored later in the day, Kay said.

AT&T sold 200,000 iPhones in 12 hours

(Reuters) - AT&T sold more than 200,000 of Apple Inc's latest iPhone in the first 12 hours and said it had seen "extraordinary demand" for a gadget unveiled a day before the death of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.

The iPhone 4S was unveiled on Tuesday and immediately underwhelmed fans who had hoped for a revolutionary design after a wait of more than 15 months.

But Wall Street analysts are betting that hardware updates and software enhancements, including a well-reviewed voice-recognition software system, will pull in buyers.

AT&T, Verizon Wireless and Sprint began taking U.S. online orders for the device on Friday.

Comparisons are difficult because the iPhone is now carried by three wireless operators, versus just one. Last year AT&T was the only carrier to sell the phone. But the previous generation of the smartphone, the iPhone 4, was the fastest-selling mobile in Apple's history, with 1.7 million devices selling in the first three days.

Estimates vary, but some analysts expect Apple to sell about 27 million to 28 million iPhones in the October-December quarter.

The latest iPhone 4S hits store shelves around the world on October 14. It debuts at a critical juncture for Apple.

Phones based on Google Inc's Android -- such as Samsung's <005930.KS> Galaxy -- are providing heightened competition just as a new CEO, Tim Cook, takes the reins.

Jobs, who died on Wednesday after a long battle with pancreatic cancer, ceded the top job to Cook in August. Some analysts say people seeking to commemorate the legacy of Apple's iconic co-founder may scoop up the very last iPhone to be unveiled in his lifetime, giving sales a bump.

Apple was not immediately available for comment. Sprint iPhone sales were not mentioned during a an unrelated news conference by Spring on Friday.

Shares in Apple were holding steady at $370 in after-hours trade.

FDA approves Merck's new diabetes therapy combo

By Alina Selyukh

(Reuters) - U.S. health regulators approved a new combination therapy for type 2 diabetes from Merck & Co, the first to combine a diabetes drug with cholesterol-lowering medicine in one tablet.

Merck's new drug Juvisync combines the drugmaker's diabetes medicine Januvia, which helps lower high blood sugar levels, with simvastatin, a commonly prescribed statin that helps lower cholesterol alongside diet and exercise.

About 20 million Americans have type 2 diabetes, and many of them also have high cholesterol levels. The conditions can lead to increased risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and blindness, especially if left untreated or poorly treated, the Food and Drug Association said.

For Merck, this is a chance to boost sales of Januvia, generically known as sitagliptin, whose sales rose 30 percent to $779 million in the second quarter.

The American Diabetes Association guidelines recommend statin therapy for anyone who has both diabetes and cardiovascular disease, regardless of cholesterol levels. They also recommend statins for anyone older than 40 with diabetes and with cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as high blood pressure.

Merck's experts have estimated that 6 million to 8 million of the type 2 diabetics who should be on a statin have not been receiving that therapy -- a gap that the company hopes to fill with the single-tablet Juvisync.

"Although clinical guidelines put people with diabetes at the same risk level as those with coronary heart disease, nearly 40 percent of eligible patients do not receive statin treatment," Dr. Barry Goldstein, Merck's vice president for diabetes and endocrinology, said in a statement. "We are proud to bring forward a treatment option that can help address this important health issue."

The FDA on Friday approved the combination in several dosage strengths.

The most common side effects of Juvisync include upper respiratory infection, stuffy or runny nose and sore throat, headache, muscle and stomach pain, constipation and nausea, regulators said.

Merck will now have to conduct a post-marketing clinical trial to compare how Januvia lowers glucose alone compared to its combination with simvastatin, the FDA said.

Merck's shares were up 1.5 percent at $31.88 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

Approved in 2006, Januvia was the first FDA-backed member of a new class of drugs called DPP-4 inhibitors that enhance the body's ability to lower elevated blood sugar. It has previously been coupled with another diabetes drug, metformin, and sold under the brand name Janumet. Merck's second-quarter sales of Janumet reached $321 million.

AT&T says fixed New York software related outage

NEW YORK (Reuters) - AT&T Inc said some New York customers had voice service outages on Thursday morning because of a software problem that occurred during "routine maintenance activities."

The No. 2 U.S. mobile provider, which has long been criticized for service problems in the city, said mid-morning that it had fixed a problem which caused voice service disruption for some customers in the three city boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan and in neighboring Long Island.

Earlier in the day, AT&T had sent a statement saying only that it had problems with its third generation (3G) voice network in Long Island.

The company, which is looking to become the biggest U.S. wireless provider through an acquisition of T-Mobile USA, said it had moved some voice customers on its 3G network to its older second generation (2G) network to restore their service while it worked on the problem.
