Item 8.01. Other Events

On November 6, 2007, we publicly disseminated a press release announcing that an analysis of data from 2,291 women who participated in the MERLIN TIMI-36 study showed a 29 percent reduction in the relative risk of recurrent ischemia in women receiving Ranexa(R) (ranolazine extended-release tablets) compared to placebo (p=0.002) after 12 months. No difference in symptomatic documented arrhythmias was observed in women between the ranolazine and placebo groups.

The data were presented today by Dr. Jessica Mega of the TIMI Study Group at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions in Orlando, Florida.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to our press release dated November 6, 2007, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

On November 6, 2007, we publicly disseminated a press release announcing that data from a prospectively identified analysis of 2,220 diabetic patients from the MERLIN TIMI-36 study showed that Ranexa significantly reduced hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), increased the number of patients achieving the clinical HbA1c treatment target of 7.0 percent or less and reduced the incidence of newly increased HbA1c in patients without diabetes at baseline.

The findings were presented today at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions in Orlando, Florida by Dr. David Morrow of the TIMI Study Group.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to our press release dated November 6, 2007, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
