“Top-line results are expected in early October from our Phase 2b ETC-1002-008 clinical trial in statin intolerant patients. Results from our 2-year carcinogenicity studies are anticipated late in the fourth quarter, while top-line results from two additional Phase 2 studies are expected in the first half of 2015,” said Tim M.
