CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals' Periostat May Lower CRP Levels
Tuesday November 19, 8:32 am ET

NEWTON, Pa. -(Dow Jones)- CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NasdaqNM:CGPI - News) said a pilot study showed its Periostat drug lowered levels of the C-reactive protein in people hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome.
A recent study said high levels of the protein, produced by the body in response to infection and injury, could signal heart disease.

In a press release Tuesday, the pharmaceutical company said it found Periostat reduced C-reactive proteins in subjects by an average of 46%.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration approved Periostat for treating adult periodontitis in 1998.
