An attempt to salvage the investment failed when shareholders won a lawsuit preventing Ackman from merging a real estate company with the bleeding golf course company.
But an additional indication, for acutely ill medical patients at risk for VTE, does not appear likely in the near future, as a new trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that one of these novel drugs, though effective at preventing VTE, also resulted in a significant increase in bleeding risk.
The record since then has been one of stopping the bleeding, arresting the freefall of our economy, preventing the second Great Depression in American history, and putting us back on a course towards economic growth and job creation.
