| SOUTHLAKE, Texas, April 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --Renibus Therapeutics® (“Renibus”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focusing on the prevention and treatment of cardio, renal and metabolic diseases, today announced an oral presentation on RBT-1 at the prestigious, invitation only, European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) 2nd Innovation Summit, taking place in Paris, France, April 18-20, 2024. Charles A. Mack, MD, FACS, Associate Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Vice Chairman of Quality and Patient Safety, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Weill Cornell Medicine, will be presenting on behalf of Renibus. RBT-1 (stannic protoporfin / iron sucrose) is a single dose, multi-organ, preconditioning agent that is administered intravenously 24-48 hours prior to patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. RBT-1 is actively enrolling in a Phase 3 pivotal trial to reduce the risk of post operative complications and improve outcomes following cardiothoracic surgery. RBT-1 has received FDA Breakthrough and Fast Track Designations. “Presenting at EACTS enables Renibus to share our promising RBT-1 results with the global cardiothoracic surgery community,” stated Jeffrey Keyser, RPh, JD, PhD, President and CEO of Renibus. “In a completed Phase 2 clinical trial, RBT-1 demonstrated the potential to improve outcomes in the post-cardiac surgery setting, including reductions in 30-day hospital readmission rates, time in the ICU, as well as time on ventilator. We continue to advance RBT-1 through the Phase 3 PROTECT study, with top-line data expected in the third quarter of 2025.” Charles A. Mack, MD, FACS, Associate Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Weill Cornell Medicine, added, “RBT-1 is an exciting pre-conditioning agent and I am honored to showcase its results at EACTS. While RBT-1 has demonstrated its potential benefit across multiple cardiac surgery types in its Phase 2 clinical trial, I look forward to presenting data demonstrating RBT-1’s potential to have a greater impact on patients undergoing more complex procedures combining both CABG and valve surgeries where the risk of post-operative complications is greatest.” Details of the oral presentation at EACTS 2nd Innovation Summit: Title: RBT-1: A Pharmacologic Approach to Reducing the Risk of Post-Operative Complications in Patients About RBT-1 RBT-1 (stannic protoporfin/iron sucrose) is a potent inducer of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pathways currently in Phase 3 [NCT # 06021457] for its lead indication to reduce post-operative complications following cardiothoracic surgery. Renibus completed the Phase 2 study of RBT-1 (NCT04564833) in February 2023 and announced positive final results from this study in May 2023. In October 2023, Renibus initiated enrollment and administration of RBT-1 in its PROTECT Phase 3 pivotal study. RBT-1 was granted Breakthrough Therapy designation status from the U.S. FDA to reduce the risk of complications in patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery.
