KING PHARMACEUTICALS PUBLISHES TRIAL RESULTS FOR ALTACE
King Pharmaceuticals has reported the publication of the results of the "Heart
Outcomes Prevention Evaluation The Ongoing Outcomes ("HOPE-TOO")."
The HOPE- TOO results are published in an article entitled "Long-Term Effects
of Ramipril on Cardiovascular Events and on Diabetes" which appears in
the August 30 issue of Circulation, a publication of the American Heart
Association.
After seven years of patient follow-up, the HOPE-TOO trial demonstrated the
sustained effect of Altace, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, on reducing
the risk of cardiovascular events and sustained vascular and metabolic benefits
for patients treated with ramipril. The authors of the article also concluded
that the data indicated that a patient's earlier use of ramipril therapy provided
a longer-term protective effect compared with the later initiation of such therapy.
