BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Regado Biosciences, a privately held company leading the development of antithrombotic therapeutic aptamers with active control agents, announced that on September 8, 2009 enrollment of the first patient in a Phase 2b, randomized, partially-blinded, multi-center, active-controlled, dose-ranging study of its lead product candidate, the REG1 anticoagulation system (REG1) was achieved. REG1 comprises the selective factor IXa inhibitor, RB006, and its specific active control agent, RB007. The trial, called RADAR, will assess the safety, efficacy, and pharmacodynamics of REG1 compared to unfractionated heparin or low molecular weight heparin in subjects with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Regado recently successfully completed a phase 2a study of REG1 in stable coronary artery disease patients undergoing elective PCI.
