New data from Phase 1b/2a Trial Included

HAMBURG and CALGARY, Canada, June 22, 2010 - Resverlogix Corp. ("Resverlogix" or the "Company") (TSX:RVX) announced
today that key scientific data was communicated in an oral presentation
highlighting the novel features of the Company's lead drug RVX-208 at the
European Atherosclerosis Society Congress (EAS) conference being held in
Hamburg, Germany. The presentation titled "RVX-208 given orally raises
plasma ApoA-I and HDL in human clinical trials," was presented by Dr. Norman
Wong
, MD, Chief Scientific Officer of Resverlogix.

"The data presented in Germany today further highlights that patients
with low HDL/Apo-Al benefit most. For those patients in the highest risk
category, subjects with low baseline HDL/Apo-Al, our data demonstrated that
RVX-208 increased plasma levels of Apo-Al in the order of 13.25% compared to
placebo. This data, combined with similar low baseline HDL/Apo A-l data
analysis of the upcoming ASSERT trial data will further support the design of
a very effective and efficient ASSURE trial," said Donald J. McCaffrey,
President & CEO of Resverlogix.

Resverlogix recently completed a Phase 2 clinical trial called ASSERT to
study RVX-208 an oral small molecule therapy for the treatment of
atherosclerosis. The ASSERT trial enrolled subjects with stable coronary
artery disease. A second planned Phase 2 trial, designated ASSURE, will
include subjects with acute coronary syndrome and coronary artery disease of
whom all will be examined with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Both the
ASSERT and ASSURE studies are chaired by Dr. Steven Nissen, MD, Chairman of
the Cleveland Clinic Department of Cardiovascular Medicine and the principal
investigator is Dr. Stephen Nicholls, Medical Director of Intravascular
Ultrasound at the Cleveland Clinic.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the US and other
developed nations costing the American health care system an estimated
USD$448.5 billion in 2008. According to the American Heart Association's
Heart Disease & Stroke Statistics 2010 publication, approximately every 25
seconds an American will have a coronary event and approximately every
minute, someone will die from such an event. A key underlying cause of
cardiovascular disease is atherosclerosis, a build-up of plaque in the
arteries often referred to as 'hardening of the arteries'.

Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I), the main protein component of high-density
lipoprotein (HDL), represents the body's natural defense system against
atherosclerosis by mediating reverse cholesterol transport, i.e. transport of
peripheral cholesterol including that within the atherosclerotic plaques of
the vessel wall to the liver for processing and excretion. In multiple human
and animal studies over-expression or repeated infusion of ApoA-I inhibit
progression and induce regression of atherosclerosis in animals and humans.
Developing small molecules that increase ApoA-I would satisfy a large unmet
medical need.
