Effect of Muraglitazar on Death and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

TL;DR: Compared with placebo or pioglitazone, muraglitazar was associated with an excess incidence of the composite end point of death, major adverse cardiovascular events (MI, stroke, TIA), and CHF, which should not be approved to treat diabetes based on laboratory end points until safety is documented in a dedicated cardiovascular events trial.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk of cardiovascular events associated with selective COX-2 inhibitors☆

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a MEDLINE search to identify all English-language articles on use of COX-2 inhibitors published between1998 and February 2001, which yielded two major randomized trials, the Vioxx Gastrointestinal and the Celecoxib Longterm Arthritis Safety Study (VIGOR), as well as 2 smaller trials with approximately 1000 patients each.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiovascular efficacy and safety of bococizumab in high-risk patients

TL;DR: In two randomized trials comparing the PCSK9 inhibitor bococizumab with placebo, bococzumab had no benefit with respect to major adverse cardiovascular events in the trial involving lower‐risk patients but did have a significant benefit in the Trial involving higher‐risk Patients.
