Merck (MRK) and a plaintiff suing the company over its human papillomavirus vaccine, Gardasil, have agreed to halt a trial after four weeks of proceedings, Reuters reported Tuesday, citing a company statement.
The plaintiff, Jennifer Robi, alleges that the vaccine caused her impaired mobility.
On Friday, the plaintiff's lawyers proposed discharging the jury and adjourning the case, and Merck agreed, provided that no financial or other consideration was exchanged, according to the news outlet.
Merck and Robi plan to reconvene with a new jury in a Los Angeles state court in September, the report added.
Merck did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.
