By using the CardiorHealth miR-132 PCR kit, Cardior ensures consistent measurement of miR-132 levels following CDR132L treatment across all clinical trial centers as an indicator of the target engagement and the compounds mechanism of action.

Key Points: 
  • By using the CardiorHealth miR-132 PCR kit, Cardior ensures consistent measurement of miR-132 levels following CDR132L treatment across all clinical trial centers as an indicator of the target engagement and the compounds mechanism of action.
  • Cardior is developing CDR132L as a therapeutic candidate to improve cardiac systolic and diastolic function in patients with heart failure.
  • The CardiorHealth miR-132 PCR kit is the first PCR kit designed to monitor the treatment with a non-coding RNA-based therapeutic.
  • CE mark approval of the kit was based on the clinical evaluation of the test in patients receiving various doses of CDR132L or placebo, where the kit demonstrated comparable results to a similar testing protocol used in Cardiors Phase 1b clinical study.

Cardiac remodeling is a debilitating and often life-threatening consequence of myocardial infarction that contributes to the development of heart failure.

Key Points: 
  • Cardiac remodeling is a debilitating and often life-threatening consequence of myocardial infarction that contributes to the development of heart failure.
  • Even if resolved, MI can lead to permanent damage of the heart cells initiating pathological cardiac remodeling resulting in the development of heart failure.
  • Heart failure remains one of the leading causes of death globally with only limited intervention options.
  • Levels of miR-132 are elevated in the cardiac tissue of heart failure patients, triggering well-defined molecular pathways.

"Little more than a random and highly inefficient enterprise, drug discovery today is "garbage in, garbage out" enterprise.

Key Points: 
  • "Little more than a random and highly inefficient enterprise, drug discovery today is "garbage in, garbage out" enterprise.
  • Currently, the industry average failure rate for drug discovery programs in pharmaceutical companies is reported to be approximately 98%.
  • This work was performed by Chromocell Corporation, a biotechnology company spun out of The Rockefeller University based upon the technology.
