US drug developer Cordex Pharma has agreed to collaborate with BG Medicine in its Phase II safety trial with CDP-1050 in heart failure patients. Financial terms of the accord were not disclosed.
In this collaboration, USA-based BGM will measure levels of Galectin-3 in patients enrolled in the study. The compound is a biomarker for cardiac remodeling associated with advanced stages of heart failure.
CDP-1050 is being developed as a new therapeutic modality in the management of heart failure. It targets the redox-nitric oxide imbalance, which is increasingly recognized as a major factor in poor myocardial contractile efficiency, the hallmark manifestation of this disorder.
