Nymox’s prostate drug found effective in Phase II trials

In the intent-to-treat cohort in the study after 90 days, the tested therapeutic dose of NX-1207 had a mean BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) symptom score improvement of 9.71 points, which was markedly better than the improvement shown by finasteride (4.13 points). This difference was statistically significant (p=0.001). There were no significant side effects from NX-1207 in the trial.

Results from this study also showed that after 90 days subjects in the per protocol cohort given the therapeutic dose of NX-1207 had a statistically significant mean reduction in prostate volume (6.11 mL or 13.1%; p < 0.001) and a statistically significant mean increase in peak urine flow (2.61 mL/sec; p < 0.001) as compared to baseline values before treatment.
