Message: Apabetalone and Alkaline Phosphatase

After reading the upcoming ASN abstracts and reviewing the past publications and presentations about apabetalone and alkaline phosphatase, I am extremely excited about apabetalone's potential in not just cardiovascular disease, but also for cognition, kidney function and other diseases.

There seems to be a solid connection to alkaline phosphatase (as well as inflammation) connected to these diseases. From one of the ASN abstracts (bracket text added by me):"Elevated ALP [alkaline phosphatase] is associated with poorer cognitive function and greater prevalence of CKD [as well as CVD]". "Approximately half of the [BETonMACE CKD sub-study] population showed MoCA score <26 suggesting early cognitive impairment. Lower MoCA score was associated with: a) higher ALP, and, b) with presence of CKD." So these diseases (CVD, cognition, CKD) don't operate independently but seem to cluster together and are associated with alkaline phosphatase levels. In pooled analysis of the Phase 2 trials, the most significant (p<0.0001) effect on reported calcification, lipid and inflammation markers was on alkaline phosphatase. Even more significant than effects on apo-AI, HDL-C, and hsCRP. So maybe, just maybe, there is something to this alkaline phosphatase story........

I've compiled abstracts, publications, presentations and posters below for your weekend enjoyment.
