A case in which a married couple won a $1.5 million jury award after blaming the hormone-replacement drug Prempro for the woman's breast cancer ended when a Philadelphia judge declared a mistrial. The ruling means the verdict in the trial's damage phase is overturned, Prempro maker Wyeth said in a release. The plaintiffs had to prove Wyeth's negligence in a second phase to collect from the company, but that phase ended with the mistrial. The grounds for the mistrial were sealed by the judge.
