ADA: VA Diabetes Trial Appears to Vindicate Rosiglitazone (Avandia) Safety:

The last of three major studies of tight glucose control in type 2 diabetes reported at the American Diabetes Association meeting here contained a stunning surprise as a bonus -- an apparent cardiovascular exoneration of rosiglitazone (Avandia).

Like ADVANCE and ACCORD, the other trials, the nearly 1,800-patient Veterans Affairs Diabetes Trial (VADT) found no significant reduction in cardiovascular deaths or events over 7.5 years in patients treated aggressively for glycemic control compared with standard therapy, reported William C. Duckworth, M.D., of the University of Arizona.
