HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, N.J., Oct. 14, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation (Nasdaq:NYMX) is pleased to announce that NX-1207, the Company’s lead drug in development, has been shown to produce strongly positive and repeatable results in laboratory studies of human prostate cancer. In addition, local injection of NX-1207 showed activity in animals with transplanted human prostate carcinoma. The NX-1207 used in these studies is a different formulation and a much higher dosage from that of NX-1207 used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
