Nymox Reports Update on Prostate Drug Licensing Negotiations.

HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, N.J. -- Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation (NASDAQ: NYMX) announced today that the Company's NX-1207 drug for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has attracted serious expressions of interest from a number of major pharmaceutical companies wishing to license the drug for sale in global markets.

"Based on the term sheets we have received, we are optimistic about a favorable deal for our NX-1207 product," said Paul Averback, CEO of Nymox. "The data and clinical profile of NX-1207 continue to be compelling. Nymox has received serious expressions of interest about NX-1207 from a number of major pharmaceutical companies from around the world and the Company is carefully weighing its options in order to find the right partners on the right terms."

Nymox recently announced the successful completion of a placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-center Phase 2 trial of NX-1207. The Company's recently completed Phase 2 trial showed positive efficacy and safety results for NX-1207. Overall, patients treated with NX-1207 showed mean improvement of 9.35 points in AUA Symptom Score values, the standard scale used to evaluate BPH drugs and treatments. This improvement compares favorably to the 3.5 to 5 point reported in published studies of currently approved drugs for BPH and reached statistical significance when compared to placebo. Subjects treated with NX-1207 also showed an overall significant reduction in mean prostate volume. The results of the trial demonstrated the excellent safety and side effect profile of NX-1207. Subjects treated with NX-1207 had no serious side effects. In particular, patients given NX-1207 had no (0%) significant sexual side effects.

BPH afflicts approximately half of men over age 50 and close to 90% of men by age 80. The disorder causes difficulties with urination associated with aging, such as urination at night, urge to void frequently, hesitancy, weak stream, and other problems.
