Guard Therapeutics (publ) announced top-line results from the Phase 2b POINTER study, evaluating RMC-035 as a kidney-protective therapy in patients undergoing open-heart surgery.
The study did not meet its primary and key secondary efficacy endpoints.
"The results from the POINTER study are disappointing, given previous findings of efficacy for RMC-035 and the significant unmet medical need in preventing irreversible kidney damage after open-heart surgery," said Tobias Agervald, CEO of Guard Therapeutics.
Despite the disappointing results, Guard Therapeutics remains committed to understanding the study outcome and evaluating next steps.
