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).

Background

Heart failure (HF) is the major cause of death after MI, with a prevalence of >26M individuals globally. 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 (reperfusion injury).

Drug Candidate

ResoTher’s leading drug candidate, RTP-026, is an immunomodulating therapeutic aimed at resolving inflammation triggered during MI. This approach is designed to reduce damage to the heart and significantly decrease the risk of HF and death.

Pre-clinical Data

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.

Future Plans

With the EIC, we aim to validate RTP-026 clinical effectiveness by means of:

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