TL;DR: In patients who had had a recent acute coronary syndrome, dalcetrapib increased HDL cholesterol levels but did not reduce the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events.
Abstract: Background In observational analyses, higher levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol have been associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease events. However, whether raising HDL cholesterol levels therapeutically reduces cardiovascular risk remains uncertain. Inhibition of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) raises HDL cholesterol levels and might therefore improve cardiovascular outcomes. Methods We randomly assigned 15,871 patients who had had a recent acute coronary syndrome to receive the CETP inhibitor dalcetrapib, at a dose of 600 mg daily, or placebo, in addition to the best available evidence-based care. The primary efficacy end point was a composite of death from coronary heart disease, nonfatal myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, unstable angina, or cardiac arrest with resuscitation. Results At the time of randomization, the mean HDL cholesterol level was 42 mg per deciliter (1.1 mmol per liter), and the mean low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level was 76 ...

TL;DR: Overall, there was no significant difference in the rates of death and major cardiovascular events between patients undergoing prompt revascularization and those undergoing medical therapy or between strategies of insulin sensitization and insulin provision.
Abstract: At 5 years, rates of survival did not differ significantly between the revascularization group (88.3%) and the medical ­ therapy group (87.8%, P = 0.97) or between the in­ sulin ­ sensitization group (88.2%) and the insulin ­ provision group (87.9%, P = 0.89). The rates of freedom from major cardiovascular events also did not differ signifi­ cantly among the groups: 77.2% in the revascularization group and 75.9% in the medical ­ treatment group (P = 0.70) and 77.7% in the insulin ­ sensitization group and 75.4% in the insulin ­ provision group (P = 0.13). In the PCI stratum, there was no sig­ nificant difference in primary end points between the revascularization group and the medical ­ therapy group. In the CABG stratum, the rate of major cardiovascular events was significantly lower in the revascularization group (22.4%) than in the medical ­ therapy group (30.5%, P = 0.01; P = 0.002 for interaction between stratum and study group). Adverse events and serious adverse events were generally similar among the groups, although severe hypoglycemia was more frequent in the insulin ­ provision group (9.2%) than in the insulin ­ sensitization group (5.9%, P = 0.003). Conclusions Overall, there was no significant difference in the rates of death and major cardio­ vascular events between patients undergoing prompt revascularization and those undergoing medical therapy or between strategies of insulin sensitization and in­ sulin provision.

TL;DR: Ustekinumab seems to be efficacious for the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis; dosing every 12 weeks maintains efficacy for at least a year in most patients.
