TherapeuticsMD : Announces Clinical Abstract at the 2018 ASCO Annual Meeting

TherapeuticsMD, Inc. (NASDAQ: TXMD), an innovative women’s healthcare company, today announced the availability of clinical data from the REJOICE trial for IMVEXXY™ (estradiol vaginal inserts) (formerly TX-004HR). TherapeuticsMD will highlight a substudy of the REJOICE trial that evaluated the pharmacokinetics of IMVEXXY 4 mcg, 10 mcg, and placebo. IMVEXXY was recently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of moderate-to-severe vaginal pain associated with sexual activity (dyspareunia), a symptom of vulvar and vaginal atrophy (VVA), due to menopause.

“In patients who used IMVEXXY, serum estradiol levels remained within postmenopausal range with improvements in VVA-associated moderate to severe dyspareunia,” said Dr. Shari B. Goldfarb of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Data from the clinical abstract will be presented in a poster presentation at the 2018 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting being held June 1-5, 2018 in Chicago, IL.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

CONTRAINDICATIONS

• IMVEXXY™ is contraindicated in women with any of the following conditions: undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding; known, suspected, or history of breast cancer; known or suspected estrogen-dependent neoplasia; active DVT, PE, or history of these conditions; active arterial thromboembolic disease or a history of these conditions; known anaphylactic reaction or angioedema to IMVEXXY; known liver impairment or disease; known protein C, protein S, or antithrombin deficiency, or other known thrombophilic disorders.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

• IMVEXXY is intended only for vaginal administration. Systemic absorption may occur with the use of IMVEXXY.
• The use of estrogen-alone and estrogen plus progestin therapy has been reported to result in an increase in abnormal mammograms requiring further evaluation.
• The WHI estrogen plus progestin substudy reported a statistically non-significant increased risk of ovarian cancer. A meta-analysis of 17 prospective and 35 retrospective epidemiology studies found that women who used hormonal therapy for menopausal symptoms had an increased risk for ovarian cancer. The exact duration of hormone therapy use associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer, however, is unknown.
• Other warnings include: gallbladder disease; severe hypercalcemia, loss of vision, severe hypertriglyceridemia or cholestatic jaundice.
• Estrogen therapy may cause an exacerbation of asthma, diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, migraine, porphyria, systemic lupus erythematosus, and hepatic hemangiomas and should be used with caution in women with these conditions.
• Women on thyroid replacement therapy should have their thyroid function monitored.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

• The most common adverse reaction with IMVEXXY (incidence ≥ 3 percent) and greater than placebo was headache.
