CALGARY, Alberta, March 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Resverlogix Corp. ("Resverlogix" or the “Company”) (TSX:RVX) today announces that it is changing its fiscal year-end to December 31, from its current fiscal year-end of April 30. The notice for the year-end change required under National Instrument 51-102 has been filed under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.
​

Resverlogix believes this change of year-end will better align the Company's financial reporting periods to that of its peers and will allow investors to more easily compare quarterly and annual financial results.

As a result, Resverlogix will report, in March 2021, audited financial results for a transitional fiscal period for the eight months ended December 31, 2020 with comparative financial statements as at and for the year ended April 30, 2020. Thereafter, the Company will revert to a quarterly reporting calendar based on a December 31st fiscal year-end, with reporting periods ending on the last day of March, June, September, and December each year.

About Resverlogix

Resverlogix is developing apabetalone (RVX-208), a first-in-class, small molecule that is a selective BET (bromodomain and extra-terminal) inhibitor. Apabetalone is the first therapy of its kind to have been granted US FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation – for a major cardiovascular indication – to help facilitate a time-efficient drug development program including planned clinical trials and plans for expediting the manufacturing development strategy.

BET inhibition is an epigenetic mechanism that can regulate disease-causing genes. Apabetalone is a BET inhibitor selective for the second bromodomain (BD2) within the BET proteins. This selective inhibition of apabetalone on BD2 produces a specific set of biological effects with potentially important benefits for patients with high-risk cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease treated with hemodialysis, neurodegenerative disease, Fabry disease, peripheral artery disease and other orphan diseases, while maintaining a well described safety profile.

Resverlogix common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX:RVX).
