Abbott and AstraZeneca announced today a collaboration to co-develop and market a combination treatment that will target all three important blood lipids — LDL-C "bad" cholesterol, HDL-C "good" cholesterol, and triglycerides — in one single pill as part of a comprehensive treatment regimen. Under the agreement, the companies will initiate two parallel programs: a CRESTOR (rosuvastatin calcium)/TriCor (fenofibrate tablets) fixed-dose combination and a CRESTOR/ABT-335 combination. ABT-335 is Abbott's proprietary next-generation fenofibrate currently in Phase III clinical trials.
