CALGARY , May 30, 2017 /CNW/ - Resverlogix Corp. ("Resverlogix" or the "Company") (TSX:RVX) today announced that it has received approval from Health Canada, Therapeutic Products Directorate, to proceed with a clinical trial with its lead compound apabetalone in patients with Fabry disease. (newswire.ca)
Apabetalone is known to regulate key biomarkers associated with this rare disease and may potentially offer an alternative for patients with this rare disorder. (newswire.ca)
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of apabetalone in patients with Fabry disease. (newswire.ca)
Patients with the disease experience various heart, kidney, and dermatological complications with stroke, heart disease and kidney complications being the top causes of mortality. (newswire.ca)

(newswire.ca)
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.
