Judge Fallon presiding over Xarelto MDL 2592 also denied a motion for new bellwether trials for the plaintiffs who had lost to the defendants in the first two bellwethers trials. The judge stood by his decisions stating that they were made on the right grounds. The plaintiffs had filed the motions highlighting the fact that certain data was deemed inadmissible by the court to be a part of the trials as it included international information. The plaintiffs also emphasized that the jury was informed to consider the drug manufacturers were required to disclose only the FDA approved tests to the patients that clearly excluded the prothrombin time test, which is a part of international labels, but not FDA approved.
