Vero Beach, Fla., May 15, 2019 – HDL Therapeutics, a clinical stage company and an emerging leader in the field of reversing coronary atherosclerosis, today announced positive data from the company’s registrational trial for its investigational acute care therapeutic device, the PDS-2™ System, in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH). These data were presented at the American Heart Association’s Vascular Discovery: From Genes to Medicine Scientific Sessions 2019 in Boston (May 14-16, 2019). In this open-label, multicenter study of six subjects with HoFH over seven weeks, patients were evaluated for the effect of weekly serial infusions of autologous selectively delipidated pre-beta (preβ) HDL-enriched plasma on coronary atheroma, a buildup of plaque deposits on the walls of coronary arteries.
