The drug is given as a virtually painless injection with no anesthesia, analgesia or catheterization, and is an office procedure which takes a few minutes to administer. Fexapotide has been in development for over a decade and has been found in trials 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 clinical program has al so shown in long-term studies >80% reduction in the number of crossover Fexapotide tr eated patients who required surgery for their BPH as compared to patients who received crossover conventional approve d BPH treatments. Fexapotide led to long-term improvement in sexual function as reported by first-line patients who received the new drug. BPH is extremely common and afflicts middle aged and elderly males, affecting millions of men worldwide with chronic lower urinary tract symptoms, and often requires surgical treatments.
