... Health News Article RSS By Toni Clarke BOSTON (Reuters) - Cephalon Inc.'s experimental drug to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder may have fallen victim more to the timing of its audition than the quality of its performance, some experts say.

Last week, a panel of advisers to the U.S.

Food and Drug Administration voted 12 to 1 against approving the drug, Sparlon, amid concern it might cause a potentially fatal skin allergy called Stevens Johnson Syndrome.

In a 950-person trial, one patient developed a blistering rash, from which he recovered, but the panelists felt the risk was too great to recommend approval of Sparlon without further safety studies.

That will likely delay the drug's journey to the market by as much as two years, which some experts say is less a reflection of the drug's relative risk as of heighte...

McCann said a lack of criminal responsibility did not appear to be an issue in the case.

Mr.

Czubek told psychologist Alan Schonberger on March 6, the date of his Superior Court arraignment, that he had not been regularly taking his prescribed medications in the days leading up to the fire.

Mr.

Czubek, who pleaded not guilty, had been ordered held without bail pending the Bridgewater evaluation.

Mr.

Greco asked yesterday that Mr.

Czubek’s bail be set at $500,000 cash.

The prosecutor said the allegations against the suspect were “of a particularly disturbing nature” and that Mr.

Czubek had a 1981 arson conviction in Kingston, Pa., in a case with “strong similarities” to the pending case.

In the Pennsylvania case, Mr.

Czubek was convicted of setting a fire as a means of “striking out against a prior lover,” according to Mr.

Greco.

The prosecutor also alleged that Mr.

Czubek had written to his estranged wife from the Worcester County Jail and House of Correction in West Boylston, despite the restraining order that was issued.

Mr.

Czubek’s lawyer, Sean M.

Mr.

McGinty asked for $10,000 cash bail.

Judge McCann set the bail request...
