About Repros Therapeutics Inc.
Repros is engaged in the development of pharmaceutical products that address conditions of the male and female reproductive systems. Proellex™, the Company's lead compound, is a PRM (progesterone receptor modulator) currently being studied in a U.S. Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of uterine fibroids, a condition that affects numerous women of childbearing age in the U.S. and results in a significant number of hysterectomies each year. Proellex™ is also being studied in a European Phase 2 study for the treatment of endometriosis, a condition that affects approximately 5.5 million women in the U.S. and Canada. Androxal™, the Company's other program in late clinical development, is designed to restore normal testosterone production by the testes and is being tested in a U.S. Phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of testosterone deficiency in men.
