David Crockford, RegeneRx’s vice president for clinical and regulatory

that special emphasis is being placed on the development of RGN-352 for
the systemic (injectable) treatment of patients with ST-elevation
myocardial infarction (STEMI) in combination with percutaneous coronary
intervention, the current standard of care in most western countries for
this common type of heart attack. The goal with RGN-352 is to prevent or
repair continued damage to cardiac tissue post-heart attack, when such
tissue around the damaged site remains at risk.
