Bringing new drugs to market

This article was an interesting read after yesterday's class discussion: on a current effort to get new cholesterol reducing drugs to market. Two drug companies are currently starting a Phase 3 trial of a drug that looks promising for people who don't respond well to or can't take Lipitor, and a handful of other drug makers are working to bring similar drugs to market. Now their use of the words "racing to market" and "still two to three years out" make far more sense!
