August 07 2017 - 10:00AM
Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation (NASDAQ:NYMX) is pleased to
announce that an important large symposium and panel assessment of
the Company's new drug Fexapotide Triflutate will be held at the
September meeting of the American Urological Association,
Mid-Atlantic Section. The September symposium at the AUA meeting
will include new data presentations from prominent Fexapotide
clinical trial urologists, and will feature panel assessments and
discussion of results from the U.S. Fexapotide trials
undertaken in 2009-2017. The Chairperson of the Symposium
will be Ronald Tutrone MD, FACS of Chesapeake Urology, Towson MD.
Further details on the September Symposium at
the AUA Meeting will be provided prior to the meeting.
Dr. Paul Averback, CEO of Nymox said, "The Nymox
team is very excited about the upcoming Symposium at the AUA
meeting next month. Highly experienced BPH investigators who
participated in the trials will present data and discuss results of
the Fexapotide Phase 3 clinical studies, in a large specialist
forum which will be the first public presentation of Fexapotide
results in 4 years. Our management has recently announced new
communication activities which are being initiated with the medical
communities. This will be the first of many important undertakings
which will occur."
Nymox's lead drug Fexapotide has been in
development for over 10 years and has been tested by expert
clinical trial investigative teams in over 70 distinguished
clinical trial centers throughout the US, and has been found after
7 years of prospective placebo controlled double blind studies of
treatment of 995 U.S. men with prostate enlargement to not only
show clinically meaningful and durable relief of BPH symptoms, but
also to show a major reduction in the incidence of prostate cancer,
compared to placebo and compared to the known and expected normal
incidence of the disease. The same clinical program has also shown
in a long-term blinded placebo crossover group study an 82-95%
reduction in the number of these patients who required surgery
after they received crossover Fexapotide in the trial, as compared
to patients who did not receive Fexapotide but instead received
crossover conventional approved BPH treatments (p<.0001).
