Cardax, Inc. announced results from the pre-specified interim review of its ongoing CHASE (Cardiovascular Health Astaxanthin Supplement Evaluation) clinical trial. The CHASE clinical trial is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating the effect of the Company's astaxanthin dietary supplement ZanthoSyn®, on cardiovascular health, as measured by C-Reactive Protein or "CRP" levels over 12 weeks in up to 120 subjects with documented cardiovascular risk factors. Pre-specified secondary cardiovascular/inflammatory health markers, safety parameters, exploratory endpoints, and pre-specified sub-groups are also being assessed. The trial also includes an optional open-label extension through 48 weeks. The interim results were based on data from 40 subjects administered high dose ZanthoSyn® (96 mg/day astaxanthin—48 mg twice a day), low dose ZanthoSyn® (24 mg/day astaxanthin—12 mg twice a day), or placebo. The Company believes these findings provide: Further mechanistic support for the Company's astaxanthin pharmaceutical development program; Basis for additional patent filings; and Support for the cardiovascular health benefits of ZanthoSyn.
