Nymox Pharmaceutical to Present at the Noble Financial Small Cap Conference
HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, NJ (September 22, 2006) Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation (NASDAQ:
NYMX) announced today that Dr. Paul Averback, President and CEO of Nymox Pharmaceutical,
will present at the Noble Financial Small Cap Conference in Charlotte, NC on Tuesday,
September 26 at 1:15 P.M. Eastern Standard time. Dr. Averback will provide an overview of
the Company's recent progress in drug development.
On September 19, Nymox announced positive efficacy and safety results from its recently
completed Phase 2 trial of NX-1207 for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Forty-three
clinical trial sites across the U.S. and 175 subjects participated in the double-blind,
placebo controlled trial. Overall, patients treated with NX-1207 showed a total pooled
mean improvement of 9.35 points in the primary outcome endpoint of AUA Symptom Score
values, which reached statistical significance when compared with the placebo control
(p=.017). Published studies of currently approved drugs for BPH show AUA Symptom Score
improvement in the 3.5 to 5 point range. The treated subjects also showed an overall
significant reduction in mean prostate volume (secondary outcome) of 11.7% (6.84 grams;
p=.02). The results of the trial demonstrated the excellent safety and side effect profile
of NX-1207. Subjects treated with NX-1207 had no serious side effects. In particular,
patients given NX-1207 had no (0%) significant sexual side effects. Serious adverse events
occurred in 5.1% of all placebo patients, and in 0% of the NX-1207 treated group.
