Others have already posted good stuff on how apabetalone affects ALP. I'll add a few more resources.
Here's a great presentation by BETonMACE Clinical Steering Committee member Dr. Kam Kalantar-Zadeh from last year's ERA-EDTA symposium that covers this in depth.
Also here is a presentation by Dr. Marta Ruiz-Ortega from this year's ERA-EDTA that covers epigenetic mechanisms targeting ALP.
Plus there's this paper:
And there's this paper:
Apabetalone downregulates factors and pathways associated with vascular calcification
More to the story should be published soon. From the recent filings "We have submitted a manuscript titled “Apabetalone Lowers Serum Alkaline Phosphatase and Improves Cardiovascular Risk in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease”, led and written in collaboration with clinical experts in the area ALP and CKD, This publication has been re-submitted with requested edits to Atheroslcerosis. Data contained in this manuscript highlights the role of ALP in cardiovascular risk, and the benefits of apabetalone induced reduction of ALP in reducing cardiovascular risk in treated CVD patients."
