Re the quote you referenced . Yes I know Statin only in general public is not in the trial design
I am trying to make a pt about those who sign up for CAD clinical trials ...or spend their time on CAD themed message boards . It helps us ( CAD patients ) stick to the meds , life style /diet changes etc that we know we must do.
Compliance is hard . Example ...after my 8yrs olds soccer game Sat the parents wanted to take the kids for pizza and burgers . I declined to go . Why ...just don't want to be around that food . Now if that had been going for sushi ....:>)
Re RI IMHO they should have only recruited diabetics and pre diabetics with prior CAD intervention . You have about 3,000 patients in the trial with TG's between 150-200. Doubt you will see a stop at interim based on those numbers .
Best chance for a stop is along the lines of what JL is posting on ...EPA/AA ratio's Low EPA and high AA serum levels are showing up a lot as risk factors for CKD ( Kidney disease ) patients as well.
