BOSTON, Oct. 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mayfield Pharmaceuticals, the women’s health-focused subsidiary of Harrow Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: HROW), today announced its Chief Executive Officer, Melissa Bradford-Klug, will discuss Mayfield’s advancements in developing new anti-infective medications such as its MAY-66 drug candidate for recurrent bacterial vaginosis, as well as Mayfield’s programs for dyspareunia and interstitial cystitis, at the SVB Leerink New Treatments Focused on Women’s Health Conference on October 10th, 2019 at 3:45 p.m. ET at the SVB Leerink offices in New York, NY. Bradford-Klug will be available to meet with attendees who may contact their SVB Leerink representative to arrange for a meeting.
Mayfield is focused on making a difference in women’s lives by being a voice for women and, in turn, developing branded pharmaceutical products that address their significant unmet healthcare needs.
Mayfield’s drug candidate pipeline includes:
- MAY-66, which is a first-in-class new chemical entity drug candidate intended to prevent recurrent bacterial vaginosis (BV). MAY-66 has produced extraordinarily promising data in what we believe is a translatable pre-clinical model. Approximately 21 million women in the U.S. are estimated to suffer from BV and high reoccurrence rates of BV are an ongoing need. Complications of BV, if left untreated, include increased risk of acquiring and transmitting HIV, increased risk of preterm birth and reduction in fertility during IVF therapy. The addressable market for MAY-66 is estimated at $1 billion annually in the U.S.
- MAY-44, which is being developed for the temporary relief of dyspareunia in breast cancer survivors and pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women. MAY-44 is protected by three issued patents and could become the first FDA-approved topical non-estrogen-based product to address a market of as many as 34 million American women for whom dyspareunia is common. The dyspareunia indication Mayfield will seek approval for is an estimated $2.1 billion annual U.S. market opportunity.
- MAY-88, which is a patent-pending oral suspension that Mayfield will develop for the treatment of moderate to severe interstitial cystitis (IC). Mayfield believes the IC drug market, currently estimated at $400 million annually, is highly underserved and in need of new treatment options for an estimated 8 million U.S. patients who chronically suffer from IC. Mayfield’s MAY-88 is initially pursuing an orphan population within the IC market.
