Hope After Failure of New Cholesterol Drug
"Drugs to raise so-called good cholesterol may still have a future despite the widely publicized failure last year of an experimental cholesterol treatment from Pfizer, researchers said Monday at a heart conference here.
Pfizer stopped work on its drug torcetrapib last December after a 15,000-patient clinical trial showed that it raised the risk of death by 59 percent and heart problems by 25 percent. The results were a setback for Pfizer and for doctors who had hoped that torcetrapib and drugs like it would become standard treatments for heart disease.
The stakes are high in the race to develop a drug for raising good cholesterol. Pfizer spent more than $800 million developing torcetrapib."
Yeah, MONEY is at stake!!
To hell with your loved one and their ticker, Amuka!
Heart Surgery Drug Pulled From Market
"Pressured by regulators, the German pharmaceutical giant Bayer AG announced Monday that it had agreed to withdraw the controversial heart surgery drug Trasylol after a Canadian study suggested that it increased death rates.
Dr. John K. Jenkins, a leading official of the Food and Drug Administration: “F.D.A. could not identify a specific patient population where the benefits of using Trasylol could outweigh the risks.”
Trasylol sales amounted to $135 million, most of it in the United States, through the first three quarters of this year, Bayer said."

For a Key Education Law, Reauthorization Stalls
"The leaders of the Senate and House education committees are signaling that time has run out for reauthorizing the No Child Left Behind Act this year, leaving prospects for rewriting it uncertain during the presidential campaign in 2008.
The law, which holds public schools accountable for improving student test scores, is President Bush’s signature domestic achievement and the most important statement of federal policy toward the nation’s public schools.
It passed Congress with bipartisan support in 2001 and will remain in effect even without Congressional action."
Sig Heil, students!!!!
