IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation (“Nymox”) (OTC Markets NYMXF) is pleased to report that it filed its Annual Report with the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) on August 29, 2024.
About NYMOX
Nymox is in the process of submitting, and has submitted applications for the approval to market the Company's first in class drug NYMOZARFEX™ to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is one of the most common conditions affecting middle aged and elderly men throughout the world. BPH can be devastating to men who suffer from the condition. Current treatments are associated with numerous intolerable side effects including sexual problems, such as impotence and retrograde ejaculation. Medications for BPH have been associated with prostate cancer, depression, gynecomastia and other adverse effects. The majority of men stop taking the available medications due to these and other problems. Surgery is often needed for advanced BPH. Surgery is usually effective but it is not without risks, the discomforts of surgery, and BPH surgery has side effects such as permanent retrograde ejaculation for many patients.
Nymox recently reported 10-year follow-up new data on all available patients from its U.S. clinical trial of NYMOZARFEX™ for the treatment of low grade localized prostate cancer. The available long-term data newly assessed, confirmed that all available data shows that the NYMOZARFEX™ treatment had important and statistically significant benefit for reducing the long-term progression of these prostate cancers.
About NYMOZARFEX (TM) (Fexapotide)

NYMOZARFEX™ has led to significant long-term improvements and has shown an excellent safety profile without the side effects normally associated with existing BPH treatments.
