I think the only plan is survival. Apabetalone has failed two large heavily publicized trials (first one was in 2014). Not by much, but missed primary endpoints equal failure. IMO, they should sell to whoever will make an offer, if anyone comes forward. Otherwise this may go to zero. Where would the $ come from to fund another big trial?
The other related company, Zenith, still has significant value and buyout potential.
But what the heck do I know?
