Significant Medical Need
High Clinical Demand: PE Survey
•
•
•
•
Urologists report having a product
indicated for PE would double the
number of patients seeking treatment
80% report that Zertane would
completely replace their current PE
treatment
~15% of patients surveyed are unable to
engage in sexual activity because of PE
Majority of PE patients report that there
is no effective treatment for their PE
–
75% felt they would increase sexual activity with
an effective therapy
Treatment

Relationship
Therapy/Counseling
Time consuming, costly,
ineffective, stressful
Topical (OTC)
Messy, may cause numbing, skin
irritation
Oral Therapeutics
(SSRIs)
Significant side effects, including
diminished libido, ED, nausea,
among others
Tricyclic
antidepressants
Fatigue, nausea, dizziness, dry
mouth, hypotension

Preparing to initiate in U.S.
Phase 3 Studies
• Randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, in a total of 677 PE patients showed strong
efficacy at optimal dose of Zertane
• When taken as needed between 2 and 8 hours before a sexual event
• Success based on co-primary endpoints: IELT and PEP/POPE
Phase 2 Studies
• Randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, in a total of 102 PE patients showed a clear
dose response for efficacy in terms of IELT
IELT = prolonged time to ejaculation

Infertility & Oxidative Stress
•
Urological conditions, particularly infertility and
erectile dysfunction, are shown to be correlated
with high oxidative stress levels
•
Oxidative stress: imbalance between oxidants
and the body’s ability to neutralize these
oxidants – often impacting semen quality and
function
•
Measurement of oxidative stress in real time
enables rapid assessment and monitoring of
components of infertility including sperm DNA
damage, semen function, and semen quality to
provide a comprehensive picture of infertility
and provide guidance on interventions and
lifestyle changes to improve outcomes
“Oxidative stress (OS) is a result
of the imbalance between
reactive oxygen species (ROS)
and antioxidants in the body,
which can lead to sperm
damage, deformity and
eventually male infertility. This
involves peroxidative damage to
sperm membrane and DNA
fragmentation at both nuclear
and mitochondrial levels. OS has
been implicated as the major
etiological factor leading to
sperm DNA damage.”

relevance of oxidative stress in male
factor infertility: an update. Am J Reprod
Immunol 2008 Jan; 59(1):2-11.
