IRVINE, Calif., July 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation [OTC Markets – NYMXF] (the “Company”) is pleased to announce the Issuances of several of its important U.S. patents for NYMOZARFEX.
The Company continues to expand its patent portfolio, which is an integral part of its business. In the past 18 months, numerous newly issued patents have been granted in important jurisdictions in different parts of the world, including major markets. In the U.S. alone, 5 new patents from January 2022 through the present time in 2023 alone have issued for the Company's main business concerns, including patents for the company's treatments for prostate enlargement (BPH) and prostate cancer. The Company's CEO and founder, Paul Averback has been the inventor responsible for the Company's technology and patents.
There is an important unmet need in the global middle aged and elderly male population for effective treatment for prostate enlargement (known as BPH, benign prostatic hyperplasia). BPH affects up to half the global male population after late middle age, and the vast majority of men have the condition when they reach their mid-70's and older. Current medical treatments are intended for life-long treatment but are hindered by intolerable side effects that many or most men experience, and they stop treatment usually in the first year or two. These side effects can be sexual problems or a variety of other issues, some of which are more serious such as hypotension, depression, possible increased risk of prostate cancer, retrograde ejaculation, and many others. Surgical treatments are effective usually, but have the drawbacks of surgical pain, anesthesia, catheterizations, complications and other risks such as the frequent permanence of retrograde ejaculation, and occasional need for re-treatments.
