RE:Eli Lilly Drops Its CETP Inhibitor, EvacetrapibThanks for sharing that story JD. That is crazy, since on July 27, 2015 the ACCELERATE study data monitoring committee just
recommended continuing the trial! I guess they changed their minds less than 3 months later.
Just one small correction. In addition to Merck's anacetrapib that is still in Phase III, there is another "promising" CETP inhibitor from Dezima called TA-8995 that is in Phase II right now. Dezima was just recently purchased by Amgen (see
this story for reference).
