NX-1207 is a novel patented drug developed by Nymox which is currently in late stage Phase 3 trials for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and Phase 2 for localized prostate cancer. NX-1207 is injected into the sector of prostate to be treated by a urologist in a clinic setting.  The procedure does not require catheterization, anesthesia, or sedation, takes only a few minutes and involves little or no pain or discomfort to the patient. In multi-center U.S. clinical trials for BPH to date, a single dose of NX-1207 has been found to produce on average symptomatic improvements about double that reported for currently approved BPH drugs without causing the sexual or cardiovascular side effects associated with those drugs. Follow-up studies have shown evidence of long lasting benefit with a significant proportion of men who received a single dose reporting maintained improvement in BPH symptoms without other treatments for up to 7½ years.
