Inyx, Inc. Signs Deal With Plethora Solutions Holdings To Produce Novel HFA Aerosol Indicated For The Treatment Of Premature Ejaculation For Clinical Trial In The United States

NEW YORK, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Inyx, Inc. , a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on niche drug delivery technologies and products, announced today that it has signed an agreement with Plethora Solutions Holdings plc (AIM: PLE), an emerging U.K. specialty pharmaceutical company, to manufacture a topical HFA aerosol product used in the treatment of premature ejaculation (PE) for Phase III clinical trial in the United States. The production will be conducted at Inyx USA's FDA-approved site in Puerto Rico.

Jack Kachkar, M.D., Chairman and CEO of Inyx, Inc., said, "We are very pleased that Inyx has been selected for the production of Plethora's PE product for the Phase III clinical trial. We are particularly delighted that a U.K.-based company has selected Inyx USA. This collaboration reflects our expertise in HFA aerosol production and our overall capabilities on both sides of the Atlantic."

Dr. Steven Powell, CEO of Plethora, commented, "We are very happy with our collaboration with Inyx, which allows us to progress PSD502 down the path towards Phase III clinical development."

Plethora's PE product, known as PSD502, is a topical agent comprised of a unique proprietary and rapidly absorbed formulation of two well established local anesthetics, dispensed by a metered dose spray.

PE is a medically recognized condition defined as "persistent or recurrent ejaculation with minimal sexual stimulation before, upon or shortly after penetration, and before the person wishes it." PE is the most common form of sexual dysfunction in men. According to the American Medical Association, approximately 20 million men in the U.S. experience PE. Since there is currently no approved pharmaceutical therapy, the PE market offers significant potential for development and growth. An effective drug therapy for PE may have a commercial potential comparable to the erectile dysfunction drug, Viagra(R), for which current annual sales are approximately $1.7 billion.
