In our view, gemcabene has lowering effects on important biomarkers beyond LDL, including triglycerides and hsCRP, differentiating the drug from competitors. Continue to anticipate positive INDIGO-1 data in 2018 We expect gemcabene to show a statistically significant reduction in triglycerides in the INDIGO-1 study in 2018, providing a major catalyst for shares to move higher.
