CALGARY, Alberta, April 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Resverlogix Corp. (“Resverlogix” or the "Company") (TSX:RVX) today announces that BETonMACE, the Company’s event-based, phase 3 registration trial has successfully reached 250 projected major adverse cardiac events (MACE), strictly defined as cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction and stroke, moving the trial towards completion. Successful data from this trial would enable Resverlogix to proceed towards the regulatory approval and commercialization of its lead drug, apabetalone.
“Resverlogix staff and stakeholders have worked diligently for the past 18 years to attain this extremely exciting goal,” said Donald McCaffrey, President and CEO of Resverlogix. “The trial’s extensive breakthrough clinical data will soon be available to Resverlogix. Successfully meeting the trial’s endpoints, the substantial data set and otherwise new findings would enable the Company to further solidify its apabetalone program as the world leader in epigenetic BET protein inhibition. Resverlogix is well positioned to advance therapies for several multi-factorial diseases with significant unmet need, and confirmation of our epigenetic technology would greatly change both the cost effectiveness and efficacy of future medications.”
“We are nearing completion of this important, potentially transformative study,” said Dr. Michael Sweeney, Senior Vice President, Clinical Development of Resverlogix. “At this time, we’d like to thank all study participants, the clinical sites and the many individuals who have supported the trial every step of the way. We look forward to completing the trial, and reporting the primary cardio/diabetes endpoint as well as other endpoints which include kidney and neurological function in the respective subsets of our patient group.”
