Nymox Announces Prostate Cancer Clinical Trial Will Complete Prospective 18 Month Post-Treatment Assessments
October 08 2015 - 11:00AM
Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation (NASDAQ:NYMX) announced today that
that participants in prostate cancer clinical trial NX03-0040 had
neared completion of the study's 18 month post-treatment
assessments. The results from this 18 month study are expected to
be reported this quarter, after the 18 month data has been
analyzed. Patients in the prostate cancer study have been followed
for up to 39 months after treatment.
Study NX03-0040 is a Phase 2 study of NX-1207
for low grade localized prostate cancer. The study was initiated in
2012. 146 men were randomized to a single injection of NX-1207 at
two dosage levels (2.5 mg or 15 mg) or standard of care.
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed
cancer in men, other than skin cancer, and is the second leading
cause of cancer death for men. Approximately 50% of prostate
cancers are initially considered low risk.
To date, NX-1207 has had an excellent safety
profile. NX-1207 has shown safety in 9 clinical trials (BPH and
prostate cancer) including repeat injection studies. The drug does
not lead to immune responses such as antibody formation which can
cause significant drug toxicity and/or limit usage to single
treatments due to drug neutralizing effects.
One of the major problems with current prostate
treatments for localized prostate cancer (radical prostatectomy,
external beam radiation, or brachytherapy) is the relatively high
incidence of reported sexual dysfunction post-treatment. In 9
studies, NX-1207 treatment has been shown to have no significant
adverse effect post-treatment on sexual function or testosterone
levels.
