Nymox NX-1207 BPH Pivotal Phase 3 U.S. Studies NX02-0017 and NX02-0018 Fail to Meet Primary Efficacy Endpoints


HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, N.J., Nov. 2, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation (Nasdaq:NYMX) announced today that the Company's two Phase 3 U.S. studies of NX-1207 for the treatment of BPH, NX02-0017 and NX02-0018, failed to meet their primary efficacy endpoints. Full results will be reported at a later date. The Company will hold a teleconference for shareholders on Monday, November 3, 2014 at 4:30 pm Eastern Time. The phone number to call for the teleconference is 1-866-436-9172 for U.S and 1-630-691-2760 for Canada and International. The confirmation number: 38420531.

Nymox CEO, Paul Averback, said, "The two studies failed to meet the pre-specified efficacy endpoints. Drug safety was acceptable. Drug efficacy reached levels similar to earlier studies but was not statistically significant in comparison to the placebo control due to a higher placebo response than in earlier NX-1207 studies and in other placebo-controlled BPH studies. The compound remains promising for low grade localized prostate cancer where the Phase 2 results showed evidence that NX-1207 treatment had a positive effect on biopsy results and clinical and biochemical progression."
