Science Day sets a common background of medical and scientific research for all the consolidated cases."

Plaintiffs and defendants have agreed that presentations will be made on the medical condition known as atrial fibrillation, for which Xarelto is prescribed, according to court documents. Other medical topics include coagulation and anti-coagulant therapy, the approved uses of Xarelto, the existing record of Xarelto adverse events, and clinical trials of Xarelto, among other topics, according to court documents. The presenters of this information include doctors and scientists who will present the information but may not be formally questioned, according to court documents.
