Evolva reports additional Phase IIa data on EV-077

30-Aug-2012 - Switzerland

Evolva Holding SA announced further data for the first 32 patients enrolled in the Phase IIa study of its investigational drug, EV-077, a novel, reversible antagonist of isoprostanes and prostanoids. 16 patients received EV-077 and 16 patients received placebo.

The data indicate that 300mg EV-077 given orally twice daily to patients with type 2 diabetes provided anti-platelet activity, reduced exercise-induced proteinuria and increased forearm blood flow. This was achieved with only a slight increase in bleeding time. The analysis also indicates that EV-077 was generally well tolerated, with adverse events mostly limited to increases in liver enzymes, which were transient or resolved after discontinuation.
