A Delaware federal judge on Monday threw out a $45 million damages award for genetic testing company CareDx in a false-advertising case against rival Natera .
the jury award was unjustified because there was no evidence that Natera's allegedly misleading advertisements about its Prospera tests for kidney-transplant patients deceived customers.
Connolly upheld the jury's holding that Natera was liable for false advertising, rejecting Natera's challenge to the jury's findings that its ads were literally false. CareDx said in a statement on Monday that it intends to appeal Connolly's ruling on damages, but applauded his decision to uphold the false-advertising verdict.CareDx alleged in 2019 that Natera used the results of a flawed clinical trial to make misleading statements about the effectiveness of Prospera, a test used to assess the risk that a person's body will reject a kidney transplant.
