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 the first and only BET inhibitor selective for the second bromodomain (BD2) within the BET protein called BRD4.
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 (CVD), diabetes mellitus (DM), chronic kidney disease, dialysis, Alzheimer's
disease, Fabry disease, other orphan diseases, and peripheral artery disease, while maintaining a well described safety profile.
Apabetalone is the only selective BET bromodomain inhibitor in human clinical trials. Apabetalone is currently being studied in a
Phase 3 trial, BETonMACE, in high-risk CVD patients with type 2 DM and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and is expected to be
initiated in a Phase 2a kidney dialysis trial designed to evaluate biomarker changes and safety parameters in up to 30 patients
with end-stage renal disease treated with hemodialysis.
