Projectdetails

Introduction

Ischemic Heart Disease kills more than 1.7M people/year in the EU, the vast majority via a heart attack (Myocardial Infarction - MI). Heart failure (HF) is the major cause of death after MI with a prevalence of >26M individuals globally.

Current Treatment Challenges

While current treatment involving restoration of blood flow to the heart saves the MI patient’s life, it also causes additional damage to the heart through an inflammatory reaction known as reperfusion injury.

ResoTher's Drug Candidate

ResoTher’s leading drug candidate, RTP-026, is an immunomodulating therapeutic aimed at resolving inflammation triggered during MI. This approach is intended to:

  • Reduce damage to the heart
  • Significantly decrease the risk of HF and death

Pre-clinical data suggests RTP-026 could reduce post-MI HF by >20%.

Clinical Studies

A Phase I study has been conducted to determine the safety and tolerability of RTP-026 in Healthy Volunteers. With the EIC, we aim to validate RTP-026's clinical effectiveness through:

  1. A Phase IIa patient proof of principle study
  2. A Phase IIb proof of concept study
