About Synvista Therapeutics
Synvista Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company developing diagnostics and drugs to diagnose, treat and prevent cardiovascular disease in people with diabetes. The Company has developed a clinical diagnostic test for Hp2-2 Diabetes. The genetic or protein form of this test can be used to identify diabetic patients at high risk for cardiovascular complications. These patients may benefit from a particular formulation of vitamin E. The Company is also developing a kit to measure CML (carboxy-methyllysine), another potential cardiovascular risk marker.
Synvista Therapeutics is developing oral antioxidant drugs to treat the
HDL dysfunction seen in Hp2-2 Diabetes, a disease affecting almost 7
million patients in the United States. The Company is also developing
alagebrium, a proposed breaker of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) for
the treatment of systolic and diastolic heart failure. Diastolic heart
failure represents a rapidly growing market of unmet medical need,
particularly common among diabetic patients. Alagebrium has demonstrated
relevant clinical activity in two Phase 2 clinical trials in heart failure,
as well as in animal models of heart failure and nephropathy, among others.
Alagebrium has been tested in approximately 1,000 patients in multiple
Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical
