-- Phase 2 Clinical Study in Type 2 Diabetes Meets Primary Endpoint withStatistically Significant Reduction in FPG and Positive Trend in RelatedEfficacy Measures --CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(Business Wire)--CombinatoRx, Incorporated (NASDAQ: CRXX) today reported positive results for itsPhase 2 clinical study of CRx-401 as an add-on to metformin therapy in Type 2diabetes. Results from this trial demonstrated that CRx-401 (a synergisticcombination of bezafibrate and diflunisal) performed statistically significantlybetter than bezafibrate on the primary efficacy endpoint of reduction in fastingplasma glucose (FPG) at day 90 with a difference of 12 mg/dL (p=0.049). Treatment GroupSubjectsMean change in FPG at Day 90 (ITT LOCF) CRx-401n=61-27 mg/dL Bezafibraten=59-15 mg/dL Difference favoring CRx-401-12 mg/dL (p=0.049)Consistent trends were observed in favor of CRx-401 on other supportive efficacyendpoints including glucose control, with reductions in HbA1c and homeostasismodel assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and inflammatory control, witha reduction in C-reactive protein (CRP), providing a favorable overall impact onthe treatment of subjects with type 2 diabetes. In addition, CRx-401 treatmentwas associated with an expected reduction in serum triglyceride levels,consistent with the benefit of bezafibrate therapy. "We are encouraged to see that CRx-401 achieved statistically significant andclinically relevant reductions in FPG and a positive trend in other efficacymeasures including HOMA-IR," commented Alexis Borisy, President and CEO ofCombinatoRx. "CRx-401 demonstrated an ability to control glucose, lipids andinflammation, presenting a beneficial overall profile with the potential for thetreatment of type 2 diabetes and its associated co-morbidities. The positiveanti-diabetic efficacy results observed with CRx-401, coupled with a good safetyand tolerability profile, supports additional evaluation of CRx-401 in thetreatment of type 2 diabetes." The CRx-401 study enrolled 120 subjects with moderate to severe diabetes and wasdesigned to demonstrate the synergistic anti-diabetic activity of CRx-401compared to bezafibrate as an add-on to metformin therapy in subjects withpoorly controlled diabetes.
