Federal prosecutors have sent grand jury subpoenas to Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. seeking information on the marketing of its anticancer drugs and other products, the company confirmed. Bristol-Myers Squibb is the second pharmaceutical company whose marketing efforts for its oncology treatment and other drugs administered by doctors have come under criminal scrutiny by federal prosecutors in Boston as a part of long-running federal state probe of industry marketing practices. The first was TAP Pharmaceutical Products Inc. a Lake Forest Ill., affiliate of Abbott Laboratories, that is now negotiating a plea deal. Investigators are looking at whether Bristol-Myers Squibb provided oncologists with inducements, such as free drugs and devices, in exchange for purchases of other Bristol pharmaceuticals, people involved say.
