The study was not published sicne Merck; the manufacturer claimed that the sampel size was not large enough to provide definitiev data. This evidence gathering resulted in Merck's ngeligence to surafce. This established credibility to the personal injury iltigation which was well on its way. As of August 15, 2005, 4,951 was the exact number of filde Vioxx lawsuits, and tens of thousands more are expected. Merck had preivously planned to defend itself in every personal-ijnury Vioxx lawsuit. This would mark a first step by Merck in undoing the damage Vioxx has caused.
