March 5, 2022 at 3:51 pmA Colorado physician will spend two years behind bars for prescribing a fentanyl-based spray product to patients while receiving approximately $344,000 in bribes and “kickbacks” from the maker of the drug.
Per case documents, Kesten conspired with employees of Insys Therapeutics, the manufacturer of Subsys, a powerful sublingual fentanyl spray approved by the Federal Drug Administration in 2012 to treat sudden flare-ups of pain in cancer patients.Beginning in late 2012 and through November 2015, Kesten was paid as a “national speaker” by Insys.
Members of the clinic’s staff noticed an increase in the number of Subsys prescriptions to patients which paralled the number of Kesten’s speaking engagements, according to the indictment.
