Pivotal Therapeutics Inc. Expands REVEAL Trial to Florida
(firmenpresse) - WOODBRIDGE, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 09/12/11 -- Pivotal Therapeutics Inc. (CNSX: PVO), a specialty pharmaceutical company with a focus on the treatment of cardiovascular disease, today announced the expansion of its REVEAL Trial, "A randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study of VASCAZEN™ in Patients With Deficient Blood Omega-3 Fatty Acid levels", to a Florida-based study centre. The study was initiated this past June.
"Expanding to a Clinical Study site in Florida is a strategic decision based upon Pivotal's growing presence in the region and the overwhelmingly positive response from our network of cardiologists in the area anticipating the launch of VASCAZEN™" said Rachelle MacSweeney, President of Pivotal Therapeutics.
The REVEAL Trial is a 200 patient, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind parallel study of Omega-3 deficient cardiovascular patients with elevated triglycerides. The study will assess the effectiveness of Pivotal's lead therapeutic VASCAZEN™ by elevating Eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic (DHA) Omega-3 fatty acids.
"Findings from an earlier Open Label Study of VASCAZEN™ conducted by Pivotal indicate that over 80% of Study candidates' initial blood results showed Omega-3 deficiency, using its companion OmegaScore™ Diagnostic Test." said Dr. George Jackowski, Chairman, and Chief Scientific Officer. "I am extremely excited to share the full study results as part of Pivotal's presentation at the Rodman & Renshaw conference on September 13th in New York City."
