As highlighted in the Non-Interventional Cardiology report, the umbrellatheme for ACC2008 was that having an effect on attributes such as BP or LDLreduction, HDL elevation and even atherosclerotic plaque burden is nice, buthaving an effect on a hard outcome is compelling. The subplot for the meetingwas the litany of trials that didn't quite live up to expectations."Ironically, in the face of this disappointment it was JUPITER, a trial thatwasn't even presented, that created the most positive buzz," according to Dr.Jeffrey Berk, the report's primary author. In the report, the panelists alsodiscuss the numerous combination therapy trials, appropriate endpoints forclinical trial design, and the most compelling compounds in the developmentpipeline.
