Merck’s ($MRK) late-stage  development effort suffered a major setback today as investigators announced  that its huge Phase III trial of the “good” cholesterol drug Tredaptive–extended-release  niacin/laropiprant–flunked its primary endpoint. Merck had enrolled more than  25,000 patients with a high risk for cardio events in the study but found no  significant reduction in the risk of coronary deaths, nonfatal heart attacks,  strokes or revascularizations compared with statin therapy.

UPDATED: Merck’s PhIII Tredaptive trial flops as another cholesterol drug flunks out

MERCK, a self admitted z”criminal organization” under a US Department 0Of Justice Consent Decree Order, maker of Vioxx which harmed, maimed or killed at 661,000 Americans (knowingly)
in a 7 year period, maker of the cervical cancer and sterilization causing Gardisil, brazenly wants FDA to approve that which was already rejected; no doubt with “new” studies or information with “bundling” of unverified and cherry picked or completely made up new off shore data, which
MERCK has been caught red handed also doing. All these FACTS are public information and documented in many thousands of articles and books on this website.

Merck & Co. said Wednesday it has resubmitted its application for a new combination cholesterol drug to the Food and Drug Administration, which rejected the experimental medication in March.

A retired senior scientist, horrified by the criminal collusion on VIOXX (killed or harmed over 660,000+) and GARDISIL that was fraudulently “bundled” off shore, in faked results, to get approval on a vaccine that CAUSES STERILIZATION and Cervical Cancer) renamed his former employer: “Mostly Evil Researchers Crooks and Kafkaesquers” .

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health has stopped a clinical trial studying a blood lipid treatment 18 months earlier than planned. The trial found that adding high dose, extended-release niacin to statin treatment in people with heart and vascular disease, did not reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, including heart attacks and stroke.

Young people with even modestly elevated cholesterol levels are more likely to develop coronary artery calcium and atherosclerosis later in life, according to a 20-year study to be released on August 2 by UCSF researchers.
