Recardio Completes Phase 2 Regenerative Post-Myocardial Infarction Trial of Dutogliptin

Recardio Inc., a clinical-stage life science company focusing on regenerative therapies for cardiovascular diseases, announced the completion of its Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Safety and Efficacy Study of Dutogliptin in Combination with Filgrastim in Early Recovery Post-Myocardial Infarction.

The clinical study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Recardio's lead candidate dutogliptin to restore lost myocardial function in patients who experience STEMI, a severe form of heart attack, and receive percutaneous coronary intervention with stent placement.

The study was completed and the final outcomes are currently being evaluated and will be presented at a future scientific conference.

Based on the results of this Phase 2 trial and previous clinical study results, Recardio is now submitting the pivotal Phase 3 program to the FDA and EMEA.
