ml - Rob Scott said the indications of liver toxicity were no worse than in statins.

We've discussed this before, but I'll repeat. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he is talking about elevated ALT. By this metric 1067 is perhaps in approximately the same ballpark as statins. But that isn't the problem with 1067 - it is the elevated bilirubin. And statin trials have NOT induced that (caveat: it is possible that there is a bilirubin issue in the high dose trials but we don't know because the drug companies have never submitted this data to the FDA for label expansion).

As I have said before, Rob Scott was good because he was open. But he was not remotely a trustworthy data analysis type of person.

Talk to you in another 4 months when you forget this again -g-.
