Corante blogger and friends offer some insight into the Celebrex mystery. Why did the same dose give different results: because it's not really the same dose:

corante.com

Be sure to click the "comments" link for the whole story. It notes that Pfizer's second trial (which the company says conflicts with the NCI results, as they haven't seen any CV signals) started a year after the NCI studies that have produced the CV signals, and suggests that it, too, will produce them in another year or so.

Despite Pfizer's current stance of not yanking Celebrex from the market, odds look pretty good that they'll be forced to eventually, or at least to have Celebrex' use restricted.

One wonders if continued sales of Celebrex going forward will offset the higher legal exposure of keeping it on the market. I doubt it.

Cheers, Tuck
