“CardiolRx™: Addressing the Critical Medical Need of Acute Myocarditis”
Acute myocarditis is a severe inflammatory condition of the heart muscle that can lead to heart failure or sudden cardiac death, particularly in younger individuals. With no FDA-approved treatments currently available, the condition presents a significant healthcare burden, with hospital costs. Cardiol Therapeutics is advancing CardiolRx™ to address this unmet need, with the potential to secure orphan drug designation in the U.S. and EU, offering market exclusivity and regulatory incentives. In addition, CardiolRx™ is being investigated in the MAvERIC Phase II study for recurrent pericarditis, with full results anticipated at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions in November 2024.
