Controls to blood sugar 'cuts stroke risk' | www.barchester.com
There have been many epidemiologic studies showing a very tight correlation between baseline A1c and cardiovascular mortalityDespite this, five major randomized prospective studies have failed to show any macrovascular benefit for tighter glucose controlThe logical conclusion is that glucose is, therefore, a marker for increased mortality but not a modifiable risk factor thereofThis is why FDA has mandated cardiovascular safety for new antidiabetic agentsData dredging persists, however

Many Trial Reports on FDA-Approved Drugs Go Unpublished | www.washingtonpost.com
This article is not news for clinical researchers like myself that have performed hundreds of clinical trials in collaboration with the Pharmaceutical Industry. Some of the most common reasons for that are: A)Negative studies are difficult to get published.B)Negative results for the dug of the sponsor company are of potentially damaging financial for the sponsor.C)There is no FDA regulation that prohibits a sponsor to deny access to data and freedom of publication to Investigators of the trial not employed by them. Some of the possible solutions for these problems are:A)Complete freedom of access and publication of data by investigators.B)Sponsors of studies be obligated to submit result regardless of outcome,to FDA.C)Studies shall be easily searchable in a Google style manner at FDA files,by naming a company ,a drug ,a condition,etc,etc.

Another Glinide: Where's the Beef?
March 28, 2008
Elixir Announces Completion of Enrollment in Pivotal Phase III Clinical Trial for New Diabetes Drug | www.pipelinereview.com
Elixir has turned to a strategy devoid of innovation by selecting a combination glinide (metiglinide) plus glucophage for treatment of type 2 diabetes. With the new availability of DPP4 inhibitors (sitagliptin/alogliptin) and incretin agonists (eg byetta), what is the prospect of another K channel antagonist. The old problems likely will still appear: hypoglycemia, weight gain, and possibly progression of pancreatic failure/cell death.
