U.S. judge rejects Bayer's bid to block Johnson & Johnson prostate cancer drug claims

A federal judge rejected Bayer's request for an injunction against Johnson & Johnson over alleged false advertising tied to its prostate cancer drug, which Bayer says falsely claims to cut death risk in half. The ruling is a legal setback for Bayer, but the article reports only the injunction denial and does not indicate broader financial or operational impact. The immediate market impact is likely limited, though the case remains a litigation risk for the involved healthcare companies.
