Resverlogix Announces Participation at Premier Kidney, Alzheimer’s Disease and Cardiovascular Conferences

Through participation at major conferences and events, the company continues to highlight apabetalone (the first BET inhibitor in a Phase 3 clinical trial for high-risk vascular disease, BETonMACE) and its ability to regulate multiple biological pathways that underlie disease and are known to contribute to cardiovascular, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases.

The BETonMACE trial is expected to be complete around the end of 2018 with the topline results expected shortly thereafter.

About Resverlogix

Resverlogix is developing apabetalone (RVX-208), a first-in-class, small molecule that is a selective BET (bromodomain and extra-terminal) inhibitor. BET bromodomain inhibition is an epigenetic mechanism that can regulate disease-causing genes. Apabetalone is a BET inhibitor selective for the second bromodomain (BD2) within the BET proteins. This selective inhibition of apabetalone on BD2 produces a specific set of biological effects with potentially important benefits for patients with high-risk cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease treated with hemodialysis, neurodegenerative disease, Fabry disease, peripheral artery disease and other orphan diseases, while maintaining a well described safety profile.

Resverlogix common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX:RVX).
