...infusing patients with an experimental drug, reported Dr. Steven Nissen of the Cleveland Clinic in last week's Journal of the American Medical Association, he and his colleagues reduced the fatty arterial plaque that triggers most heart attacks by an average of 4.2%--about 10 times better than statins, the most effective drugs now on the market, and in the almost unbelievably short period of just five weeks. With only 47 patients, the study was too small to be definitive, but, says Dr. Daniel Rader, the University of Pennsylvania cardiologist who wrote an accompanying editorial in J.A.M.A., "it's very...

Most clinical trials study the effects over very short periods only. That's why there is so much interest in a new study sponsored by the drugmaker Sepracor and led by Dr. Andrew Krystal, director of Duke University's Sleep Research Laboratory and Insomnia Clinic. It monitored users of a Sepracor pill called Estorra (currently under review for approval by the FDA) in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study...
