Repros Therapeutics Inc. Submits Response to FDA Regarding Androxal(R) Indication for Treatment of Hypogonadal Men Wishing to Preserve Fertility

THE WOODLANDS, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Repros Therapeutics Inc. (NasdaqCM:RPRX) today announced that the Company, as requested by the FDA during the Type C meeting held on January 25, 2010, has sent a revised indication statement to the FDA’s Division of Reproductive and Urologic Products for the use of Androxal® in the treatment of men wishing to preserve fertility while being treated for their hypogonadal state. The Company also provided a literature review supporting the Company’s belief that administration of exogenous testosterone at doses resulting in morning testosterone levels within the normal range render a significant number of men oligospermic (sperm counts less than the generally accepted level of male fertility). The Company also submitted the final clinical study report investigating the fertility impact of Androxal compared to a topical testosterone in men previously treated with testosterone for hypogonadism. Previously, the Company noted that the FDA suggested it will respond to Repros’ submission in a timely fashion following receipt of Repros’ materials.
