Round Two of the first federal trial challenging Merck's drug Vioxx will be Feb. 6 in New Orleans, U.S. District Judge Eldon Fallon told attorneys Friday. Fallon declared a mistrial in the case Dec. 12 after jurors deliberated for 18 hours over several days without a unanimous verdict. That left Merck with a win and a loss in two state trials -- and an undecided in the federal trial, which centers on the 2001 death of a seafood company manager who took Vioxx for about a month.
