Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: PTPI) is a pioneering men's health pharmaceutical company dedicated to advancing therapeutics that enhance medication adherence, tolerability, and preservation of male organic function. The company operates through two main segments: Prescription Medications and Medical Devices. Its cornerstone product, STENDRA® (avanafil), is an oral phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitor designed specifically for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Currently, Petros is actively pursuing increased access to STENDRA through potential over-the-counter (OTC) designation, making it the first prescription-grade ED therapy to achieve this status.
The Medical Devices segment is the primary revenue generator, focusing on vacuum erection devices marketed both domestically and internationally. The Prescription Medications segment involves operations related to these devices and ongoing efforts to transition STENDRA to OTC availability. Recently, Petros has integrated advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance patient self-screening and ensure safe administration of STENDRA without the need for a prescription.
Recent Achievements and Partnerships:
- Successful collaboration with a leading AI software provider to develop a self-screening tool for STENDRA, enhancing the self-selection process under FDA guidance.
- Launch of a Human Factors Study incorporating the AI tool, aimed at optimizing the safe administration of STENDRA for OTC use.
- Positive feedback from the FDA on the AI technology's efficacy in addressing key concerns for OTC availability, especially for nitrate-using patients.
- Partnership with Lemonaid Health to expand the distribution of prescription STENDRA through their telehealth platform, improving accessibility for ED patients nationwide.
- Formation of an Advisory Committee comprising former FDA officials and key clinical and regulatory opinion leaders to guide the Rx-to-OTC switch process.
