SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Renibus Therapeutics^® ("Renibus"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focusing on the prevention and treatment of cardio, renal and metabolic diseases, today announced poster presentations of promising data results on its first-in-class Phase 3 program, RBT-1, at the AMCP Nexus 2024 Meeting, taking place October 14-17, 2024 in Las Vegas, NV.

RBT-1 is a single dose preconditioning agent that is administered intravenously 24-48 hours prior to patients undergoing elective cardiac and/or valve 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 Breakthrough and Fast Track Designations from the U.S. FDA.

"Presenting at AMCP Nexus 2024 enables Renibus to share our promising RBT-1 results with the cardiothoracic and managed care communities," stated Jeffrey Keyser, RPh, JD, PhD, President and CEO of Renibus. "From the completed Phase 2 clinical trial, RBT-1 demonstrated the potential to reduce post-operative complications for patients and significantly lower healthcare costs in cardiac surgery patients, including those undergoing CABG and valve procedures. The data showed cost reductions of up to 30% and fewer complications, such as prolonged ICU stay, new-onset atrial fibrillation and 30 day readmissions. We are excited by these results and will continue to advance RBT-1 through the ongoing Phase 3 PROTECT study, with top-line data expected in the second quarter of 2025."
