RVX-208 Exploratory Study Illustrates Early Potential for Alzheimer's Disease
Date:11/10/2008

ascular disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, stroke, and Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). ApoA-I, the critical cardioprotective protein of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) represent the bodies natural defense system against atherosclerosis by mediating reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), the transport of peripheral cholesterol including that of the vessel wall to the liver for processing. To the Company's knowledge RVX-208 is the only novel small molecule that is specifically designed to increase ApoA-I production and thereby raise Prebeta-HDL levels thus enhancing HDL functionality to augment reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) from vascular beds.

About Alzheimer's Disease

Every 71 seconds, someone in America develops Alzheimer's disease (AD) and it is estimated that by mid-century, someone will develop Alzheimer's every 33 seconds. Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's are one of the most debilitating in the developed world with an estimated prevalence in the United States which is expected to grow to 15 million people by 2050. In a report commissioned by the Alzheimer's Association, caregiver costs in the United States are estimated at US$36.5 billion which includes loss of productivity, absenteeism and worker replacement. The indirect costs of AD would also be greatly reduced; it is estimated that one-half to two-thirds of the cost of AD care stems from unpaid caregivers (often family members), who spend 16-35 hours per week looking after a person with AD. These figures underscore the importance of developing new therapies to aide in the socioeconomic burden of AD.
