  • Step 1 – Analyze all clinical data

– Australia Diabetes Trial – ongoing, publication & oral presentations expected mid 2015 – SUSTAIN & ASSURE combined data analysis

  • Step 2 – Further delineate mechanisms driving MACE reduction

– Microarray analysis of relevant cell types – Analysis of blood biomarker data to develop algorithms for identification of patients likely to respond to treatment – Proteomic analysis of archived clinical samples (from multiple trials) to investigate and possibly identify novel RVX-208 responsive biomarkers

  • Step 3 –Design and launch the next clinical trial

– Utilize knowledge gained in steps 1 & 2 to enhance enrollment criteria – Hire a high caliber Chief Medical Officer – Plan additional smaller, less expensive trials for value creation purposes – Confirm clinical sites and PI’s

Critical steps required to maximize probability of success of future trials

  • Recent studies have shown higher levels of serum ALP associate with increased mortality

in the general population and in survivors of myocardial infarction, Tonelli M, et al. 2009 Circulation 2009;120(18):1784-1792

  • More compelling data in those with chronic kidney disease, Beddhu S, et al., 2009. Clin J

  • Nephrol. 2008;19(11):2193-2203.
  • The highest quartile of serum ALP associate with higher prevalence of M.I., stroke, CHF,

and DM. High serum ALP levels strongly associate with increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome and subsequent increase in all-cause mortality (retrospective observational study of 15,234 adult participants in the NHANES III. Krishnamurthy VR et al., 2011 The American Journal of Medicine (2011) 124, 566.e1-566.e7)

  • Serum ALP may have a critical role in calcification and has been used as a marker and

therapeutic target of vascular calcification, BAP (bone derived ALP) has been proposed to link insulin resistance with vascular calcification, cardiovascular diseases, or even mortality Cheung CL et al., 2013 J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2013 Sep;98(9):3856-63.

BET Inhibition can now explain why MACE attained a 77% reduction.

  • 1. Alkaline phosphatase
  • 2. Lipid parameters
  • 3. Glucose
  • 4. Weight loss
  • 5. Renal function
  • 6. Thrombosis

BET Inhibition

Reverse Cholesterol Transport

Vascular Inflammation Thrombosis

Metabolic Increased ApoA-I is only part of the rationale underlying the observed 77% reduction in MACE. Recently identified BET-inhibition mechanisms also confirm contribution to the MACE reduction.

Re-MACE Trial Planning in Progress

RVX Internal Analysis 18

1. Main objective: To confirm MACE reduction by RVX-208 as seen in SUSTAIN and ASSURE and expand safety assessment in a phase 2-3 study. 2. Patient population: Those with diabetes mellitus (DM), established CAD, HDL-c < 40 mg/dL who are 15 days - 6 months post event. 3. Treatment: RVX-208 100mg b.i.d. vs. placebo added to standard of care therapy including any standard of care rosuvastatin randomized 1:1 to an average of 18 months. 4. Location and Size: 40+ European sites, adaptive trial with 800 patient minimum. 5. Primary endpoint: Lowering of serum ALP of RVX-208 vs. placebo. 6. Main secondary endpoint: A reduction in MACE as defined by;

  • Death, including suddenly with no other reasonable explanation,
  • Ischemic stroke,
  • Non-fatal MI,
  • Hospitalization for worsening of angina,
  • Revascularization with evidence of progressive anatomy or symptoms
  • Congestive heart failure (ischemic etiology)
slide-19
SLIDE 19
  • Re-MACE, a phase 2/3 Study?

– If significant effects on MACE are shown in Re-MACE a single phase 3 study showing MACE reduction by p<0.05 will suffice for registration – Faster and less expensive route

  • Acceptable MACE definition important:

– Death - including sudden death with no other reasonable explanation, non-fatal Myocardial Infarction, ischemic stroke, hospitalization for CVD events including angina, Revascularization procedures, congestive heart failure, – A third party adjudication committee has been planned

  • First registration goal in the US or Europe?
  • Existing FDA Guidance allows for such a program
