"We are clearly disappointed with the low efficacy signal seen in rifalazil-treated patients which was only 4% greater than placebo, a difference which was not statistically significant. On the other hand, we are pleased that the population demographics, low placebo response and overall low variability in this study provided a very clear cut answer," said Steven C. Gilman, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO of ActivBiotics.
Chlamydia pneumoniae infection of the vascular system has long been thought to play a role in accelerating the course of vascular disease potentially by increasing inflammation in the arterial wall thus leading to exacerbation of atherosclerosis, which could reduce blood supply to target limbs and organs.
"The conclusive data obtained from this well-powered and well-executed study provides a compelling argument that C. pneumoniae does not play a role in PAD that is modifiable by anti-bacterial therapy. Walking impairment in PAD patients remains a significant unmet medical need, but anti-chlamydial therapy does not appear to be the solution," Dr. Jaff said"
