ABIONYX Pharma, (FR0012616852 – ABNX – PEA PME eligible), a new generation biotech company dedicated to the discovery and development of innovative therapies based on the world’s only natural recombinant apoA-I, today acknowledges that the Phase 3 AEGIS-II study evaluating the efficacy and safety of CSL Behring’s human-plasma-derived apoA-I, CSL112, compared to placebo in reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), did not meet its primary efficacy endpoint of MACE reduction at 90 days.

About CER-001
CER-001 is a novel engineered recombinant human apoA-I that was designed to mimic the structural and functional biological properties of natural, nascent HDL, also known as pre-β HDL, and has been shown to perform all steps of the Reverse Lipid Transport pathway (RLT), the only natural pathway responsible for lipid elimination.

Administered CER-001 particles increase transient apoA-I and the number of HDL particles and promote the elimination of trapped cholesterol and lipids in tissues in the absence of LCAT enzyme for example, but also the elimination of bacterial lipid endotoxin (LPS) in the case of sepsis. HDL particles are then recognized by the liver, leading to the elimination of these transported lipids via a process called Reverse Lipid Transport (RLT).
