PR Newswire (US)
NEW YORK, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Inyx, Inc. (OTC:IYXI)
(BULLETIN BOARD: IYXI) , a specialty pharmaceutical company focused
on niche drug delivery technologies and products, announced today
that it has signed an agreement with Plethora Solutions Holdings
plc (AIM: PLE), an emerging U.K. specialty pharmaceutical company,
to manufacture a topical HFA aerosol product used in the treatment
of premature ejaculation (PE) for Phase III clinical trial in the
United States. The production will be conducted at Inyx USA's
FDA-approved site in Puerto Rico. Jack Kachkar, M.D., Chairman and
CEO of Inyx, Inc., said, "We are very pleased that Inyx has been
selected for the production of Plethora's PE product for the Phase
III clinical trial. We are particularly delighted that a U.K.-based
company has selected Inyx USA. This collaboration reflects our
expertise in HFA aerosol production and our overall capabilities on
both sides of the Atlantic." Dr. Steven Powell, CEO of Plethora,
commented, "We are very happy with our collaboration with Inyx,
which allows us to progress PSD502 down the path towards Phase III
clinical development." Plethora's PE product, known as PSD502, is a
topical agent comprised of a unique proprietary and rapidly
absorbed formulation of two well established local anesthetics,
dispensed by a metered dose spray. PE is a medically recognized
condition defined as "persistent or recurrent ejaculation with
minimal sexual stimulation before, upon or shortly after
penetration, and before the person wishes it." PE is the most
common form of sexual dysfunction in men. According to the American
Medical Association, approximately 20 million men in the U.S.
experience PE. Since there is currently no approved pharmaceutical
therapy, the PE market offers significant potential for development
and growth. An effective drug therapy for PE may have a commercial
potential comparable to the erectile dysfunction drug, Viagra(R),
for which current annual sales are approximately $1.7 billion.
