Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (CTIC) announced that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a U.S. District Court order and ruled that CTIC should be allowed to pursue all of its claims against The Lash Group, sending the case back to the District Court for trial. CTIC filed a complaint against The Lash Group, CTIC's former third-party reimbursement consultant for CTIC's product TRISENOX, in 2007 seeking $22.8 million in damages for expenses already incurred related to the investigation, defense and a settlement of claims by the U.S. government concerning Medicare reimbursement for TRISENOX and other business losses.
