NYMOX DELISTING FROM NASDAQ
Nymox Pharmaceutical Corp. has received
a Nasdaq hearing delist decision, noting that Nymox has not regained the required $1.00 share price within the six-month extension period granted by Nasdaq, and hence the company's shares will be suspended from trading on
Nasdaq at the open of business on July 7, 2023. Nymox shares will be moved to the OTC market. The mechanics
of trading the stock remain the same, as do the company's business fundamentals.
Nymox is in the process of submitting applications for the approval to market the company's first-in-class drug
Nymozarfex to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is one of the most common
conditions affecting middle-aged and elderly men throughout the world. BPH can be devastating to men who suffer
from the condition. Current treatments are associated with numerous intolerable side effects, including sexual
problems, such as impotence and retrograde ejaculation. Medications for BPH have been associated with prostate
cancer, depression, gynecomastia and other adverse effects. The majority of men stop taking the available
medications due to these and other problems. Surgery is often needed for advanced BPH. Surgery is usually
effective but it is not without risks, the discomforts of surgery, and BPH surgery has side effects such as permanent
retrograde ejaculation for many patients.
Nymozarfex was submitted to the Danish authorities in December, 2022, and the application was accepted for review
in early 2023 and is currently undergoing review. The company announced that another submission was expected
to be submitted for approval in another jurisdiction in the second quarter of 2023. It is expected to be submitted in
the near future and the company will provide the appropriate update when that occurs.
Dr. Paul Averback, chief executive officer of Nymox, said: "This is a key time for the company, with more than one important marketing
application being submitted. We are grateful to our loyal shareholders for their patience and we wish to assure our
supporters that we are doing our best to deliver important milestones in our business development, in as reasonable
a time horizon as possible. It took a long time to get to this point, but we believe enhanced fundamental value has
been developed -- and we intend to continue to do everything in our power to deliver the goods to the public and to
our stakeholders."
About Nymozarfex (fexapotide)
Nymozarfex is given in an in-office procedure that is administered in a few minutes without need of
anesthesia or analgesia. The drug has been tested in clinical trials involving more than 1,750 BPH patients
with over 1,600 injections administered, including over 1,200 fexapotide administrations. Fexapotide has led to
significant long-term improvements and has shown an excellent safety profile without the side effects normally
associated with existing BPH treatments.
