Nymox Announces Presentation Of NX-1207 Data At Annual Meeting Of The European Association Of Urology

HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, N.J., March 18, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation (Nasdaq:NYMX) is pleased to report on the presentation of data on NX-1207, the Company's novel patented drug, at the European Association of Urology's annual meeting held in Milan, Italy. NX-1207 is currently in Phase 3 trials for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and in a Phase 2 trial for localized prostate cancer. Ronald Tutrone Jr, MD, FACS, the Medical Director of the Chesapeake Urology Research Associates of Towson, MD and an investigator in three prospective NX-1207 clinical trials as well as follow-up studies, presented new safety and immunological data in a detailed overview of the ongoing clinical development program for NX-1207 for the treatment of BPH entitled "Clinical Studies of NX-1207: Phase 3 Injectable for BPH."

Dr. Tutrone said "We have a large experience with many of our patients with NX-1207.  We are very confident that the majority of patients will find NX-1207 to be the most attractive first line treatment for prostate enlargement once it becomes available."

Dr. Tutrone added "This is a new treatment paradigm for BPH with an excellent safety profile, and efficacy that is much better than standard medical therapy. It is office based and takes less than 2 minutes with no anesthesia and no catheter."

NX-1207 is in late stage Phase 3 development in the U.S. for the treatment of BPH, a common condition of older men associated with growth in prostate size as men age. Phase 3 trial activities of NX-1207 for BPH have begun in Europe sponsored by Recordati S.p.A., the company's European licensing partner.  In the BPH studies to date, a single dose of NX-1207 has been found to produce symptomatic improvements about double that reported for currently approved BPH drugs without causing the sexual or cardiovascular side effects associated with those drugs.  Follow-up studies have shown evidence of long lasting benefit with a significant proportion of men who received a single dose reporting maintained improvement in BPH symptoms without other treatments for up to 7½ years.
