K201: Competing program from NovaCardia, which is being mostly taken out by Merck. This program will be spun out into a separate entity, however . . .

>>NovaCardia is developing K201 (JTV-519) for the treatment of A-Fib. We believe that K201 (JTV-519) has the potential to treat A-Fib without the side effects associated with current therapies, such as life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. NovaCardia is developing IV and oral formulations of K201 (JTV-519) to address acute and chronic A-Fib, respectively. We plan to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial of the IV formulation of K201 (JTV-519) in 2007. The compound was licensed from Aetas Pharma Co., Ltd. in 2006.<<

It's been around for a few years, and there's a fair amount of literature out there for the curious. Here's the most recent full text freebie:
