The FDA Advisory Panel punted on its assessment of LIRAGLUTIDE with the deciding voter making the decision to "abstain". Animal studies of this medication, in the incretin mimetic class, had shown thyroid C cell tumors in rodents.

We'll see what the FDA decides at some time in the future. In the meantime, I doubt I'll get to "abstain" on any decision I make in the office today.
