Pharmalot… Pharmalittle… Good Morning
1 CommentBy Ed Silverman // July 21st, 2011 // 7:04 am
Good morning, everyone, and nice to see you today. The heat continues to rise over the Pharmalot corporate campus, where we are trying to keep cool by downing another hot cup of stimulation. You know the drill - grab one yourself or reach for a bottle of water, if you prefer. Meanwhile, we would like to invite you to join us for a July 27 webinar on using analytics to improve clinical trial efficiency (please see here). And now, here are some tidbits. Hope your day goes well and stay cool…

The AZ Brilinta piece is a non-story. They’re not doing a confirmatory trial for PLATO because FDA isn’t forcing them to do so. End of non-story.
