<<Patients in the placebo arm probably took their background meds more consistently during the trial than they had taken them before enrolling. This in itself could account for much of the observed placebo response --and part of the response in the 1067 arm.>>

True, but is that really verifiable? Once per day, how bad could compliance have been before?

As I said, as far as I know, the only statin to show regression in other trials has been 80mg lipitor. Chances are very few of the patients in cartII were on that dosage. Maybe there hasn't been many regression studies of statins abd the most comprehensive data on this will be out of cartII?

P.S. Some racy ads at i-hub! Looking at an ad for the "hottest" dating site!
