Chicago, November 17 (ots/PRNewswire) – Resverlogix Corp. (“Resverlogix”) announces its top line results of the ASSERT Phase 2 clinical trial which will be highlighted at the prestigious American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2010 Late Breaking Clinical Trial session, by principal investigator Dr. Stephen Nicholls of the Cleveland Clinic. The top line ASSERT trial data was designed to answer questions about how to best proceed with future trial designs for Resverlogix’ lead oral small molecule drug RVX-208.

The ASSERT trial data demonstrated that the three key biomarkers in the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) process showed dose dependant and consistent improvement. The trial showed dose dependent increases in ApoA-l, statistically significant increases in HDL cholesterol including alpha1 particles or functional HDL, and highly statistically significant increases in large HDL particles. RCT is a pathway by which accumulated cholesterol is transported from the arterial wall to the liver for excretion, thus reducing and/or preventing atherosclerosis.

In the high dose, ApoA-I achieved a 5.6% increase with a statistical value of p=0.06. The overall ApoA-I biomarker showed a dose trending statistical significance of p=0.035. Data presented also showed that the ApoA-I and other HDL particles continued to be increasing at the end of the 12 week study. Both the 8.3% HDL cholesterol increase and the 21.1% large particle HDL increase were highly statistically significant, p
