Resverlogix is sponsoring a symposium on June 5th at ERA-EDTA in Madrid entitled "Managing CKD, Diabetes & CVD: Is epigenetics a new way forward?". Three members of the Resverlogix Clinical Advisory Board are presenting at this symposium and from the sounds of it they will be talking up Resverlogix and Apabetalone. The other two presenters are renal clinicials from Madrid.
Managing CKD, Diabetes & CVD: Is epigenetics a new way forward?
JUNE 5, 2017 - CME SYMPOSIUM AT ERA-EDTA 2017, MADRID, SPAIN
Introduction
The aim of this educational programme is to provide a balanced overview on a novel approach to reduce residual CV risk in patients with increase cardiovascular and renal risk, namely BET inhibition. BET refers to a bromodomain and extra-terminal domain of regulatory proteins. Its inhibition modifies gene expression via epigenetic mechanisms.
Date and venue
Symposium to be held during the 54th ERA EDTA Congress in Madrid, Spain
June 5, 2017 - 14.45 - 14.45 hrs
Educational objectives
- To summarise the epidemiology and pathophysiology of patients at high cardiovascular risk with diabetes
- To understand the origin of the high residual cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes and kidney disease
- To review how BET inhibition affects gene expression via epigenetic mechanisms, as a novel strategy to improve outcomes in CVD and CKD
- To update and review current clinical research programmes evaluating the role of epigenetic regulation of gene expression in CVD management
Agenda
Co-chairman:
Carmine Zoccali, MD CNR-IFC, Reggio Cal, Italy
Vincent M Brandenburg, MD Aachen, Germany
