About Relburn-Metabolomics(R)

Relburn's lead program is focused on the development of transforming therapy for chronic gout - a disease whose prevalence is doubling every 10 years and currently afflicts 16 million subjects in major markets. Gout is caused by excess uric acid (UA) in blood and connective tissues that leads to painful destructive arthritis, kidney failure, and possibly accelerated cardiovascular disease. Standard treatment seeks to reduce UA production or promote UA excretion. Benchmark drugs with these activities are allopurinol and lesinurad, respectively. Unlike other anti-gout drugs, Relburn compounds exert bifunctional activities on both production and excretion of UA. Targeting enzymes that mediate these activities, Relburn compounds are approximately 10-fold more potent than these benchmark drugs - effects that have yielded exceptional clinical activity.

Gout treatment is focused on reducing UA to target serum levels less than 6 mg/dL. Clinical trials with the Relburn prototype drug in more than 350 patients showed that serum UA was routinely reduced to levels less than 1.0 mg/dL. With this "clinical proof-of-concept", Relburn has synthesized compound libraries that may further enhance clinical activity potency and reduce potential side-effects. These compounds are covered by composition patent applications that are exclusively owned by the Company. Monotherapy with Relburn drugs may replace standard 1st-line treatments for gout and meaningfully improve clinical outcomes for patients.
