Yes BP is worrisome, I smell extended safety studies... and while HDL raising is not yet validated based on outcomes studies, I disagree it is a meanlingless endpoint. Investors will see a drug that raises HDL and lowers LDL as a true blockbuster and certainly imaging study results will be available much sooner so impact to pps is shorter term, even w/o approval. Very rosy picture except for that "worrisome" BP raising......

anyone remember ESPR?
I don't very well but I do remember measurement
was a bit of an issue- didn't take much change to
be important. Also seems size matters but so does
quality of the endothelium.

So, whatever happened to ESPR? It is too bad
you can't get charts on things like this, or the
ones that went under, to get a good back-test
on what worked and what didn't...


fyi, this is probably accurate:
