About RVX-208

RVX-208 is a novel small molecule that stimulates endogenous
ApoA-I production to trigger the synthesis of HDL. The use of this
approach will enhance the functionality of HDL. ApoA-I is the major
protein component of HDL. The main role of these particles is to act
as the body's natural defense system against atherosclerosis by
mediating a normal physiologic process called reverse cholesterol
transport (RCT). This pathway enables cholesterol, including that
within atherosclerotic plaques of vessel walls, to be transported to
the liver for further processing and elimination from the body.
Enhanced RCT clearance of cholesterol from vessel walls is expected
to reduce or prevent atherosclerosis. The ability of RVX-208 to
increase ApoA-I production and thereby augment RCT differentiates it
from other HDL therapies. RVX-208 is positioned to be one of the most
promising drugs in development for the treatment of atherosclerosis.
