Please see also NCBI PubMed.gov; MDLinx; Reuters Health Information Feb 20, 2018; Medscape Urology News & Perspective; and others, re the World Journal of Urology peer review report on the Fexapotide trials. Nymox's lead drug Fexapotide has been in development for over 10 years and has been te sted 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 st udies of treatment of 995 U.S. men with prostate enlargement to not only show clinically meaningful and du rable 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 pr ogram 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 rece ive Fexapotide but instead received crossover conventional approved BPH treatments (p<.0001). The Symposium will present detailed clinical data on the Phase 3 clinical trials th at have been completed for Fexapotide and that have shown excellent safety and significant efficacy for the treatment of BPH. In addition, scientific data supporting the safety and efficacy from non-clinical and laboratory testing and analysis will be demonstrated. The main presentation will be followed by a panel discussion and by an interactive question and answer session with the specialist doctors in attendance.
