didn't quite follow this stock, just came across this:
ICPT
Intercept's OCA drug linked with worsened cholesterol levels
Patients who received Intercept Pharmaceuticals' (ICPT) beticholic acid (OCA
) for the treatment of NASH in a trial for the chronic liver disease
experienced increased bad cholesterol and lower good cholesterol, the NIH
said after the close on Friday in a statement to the WSJ.The NIH said it was
releasing the information to give "broader context" to its earlier findings
that OCA showed a "highly statistically significant improvement" in
measures of liver health vs. those who received a placeboIntercept didn't
mention cholesterol abnormalities in two statements it put out on Thursday,
nor in a subsequent analyst call. While the NIH told Intercept earlier in
the week that patients had experienced "lipid effects," it failed to furnish
Intercept with details. "We had no concrete data with respect to lipids,"
CEO Mark Pruzanski said.Pruzanski told the WSJ that previous studies have
shown that OCA can raise lipid levels, and it was already "very public" that
OCA "impacts lipid metabolism."Intercept's shares skyrocketed 516% on
Thursday and Friday to $445.83 following news of the early ending of the
study.
