2001 NOV 15 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- NexMed, Inc. announced that Phase I clinical trial data from the use of Femprox (active ingredient alprostadil) in women with female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD) were encouraging.
The study was conducted at the UMDNJ Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Femprox is NexMed's proprietary cream for the treatment of FSAD and incorporates alprostadil with the patented NexACT transdermal penetration enhancement technology. In May 2001, NexMed completed its Phase I clinical program for Femprox, and initiated a Phase II study, which is enrolling up to 110 patients at up to 12 research sites throughout the U.S.
The study "Topical alprostadil in the treatment of female sexual arousal disorder," was published in the October-December 2001 issue of the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy. The trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of three doses of Femprox cream in patients with FSAD. In this Phase I study, each patient was administered a single dose of placebo followed by escalating doses of the active drug at two-week intervals.
