Novartis AG Research Report
On June 21, 2013, Novartis AG (Novartis) announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted its RLX030 (serelaxin) a Breakthrough Therapy Designation status. RLX030 (serelaxin) is an investigational treatment for patients with acute heart failure (AHF). Novartis reported that the US FDA's decision was supported by the efficacy and safety results from the Phase III RELAX-AHF trial, which also showed that patients who received RLX030 had a 37% reduction in mortality at 6 months after an acute heart failure episode compared to those who received conventional treatment. David Epstein, Division Head of Novartis Pharmaceuticals, stated, "RLX030 is representative of Novartis' strong commitment to develop innovative treatments for patients in areas of significant unmet need." Epstein added, "Commonly used medicines for AHF only improve the immediate symptoms, so the additional effect on survival observed with RLX030 offers hope to patients and physicians."
