On May
12, 2010, NexMed, Inc. (the “Company”) announced data from a pre-clinical study
showing that Vitaros
®
,
the Company’s NexACT-based alprostadil product, significantly promoted healing
of deep tissue wounds. Specifically, in a pig model, subjects with
deep tissue wounds that were administered 200 mcgs of Vitaros healed four times
faster than those receiving placebo over a 21-day period. Alprostadil
acts as a vasodilator, which can enhance local microcirculation by inducing
capillary dilation and neovascularization. The aim of the study was to test the
safety and efficacy of Vitaros and its potential to promote wound healing in a
long-term pre-clinical model. Vitaros is currently in late-stage
development for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
