Products and positioning

Developing a novel, safe, efficacious and long-lasting injectable therapy for BPH and early-stage prostate cancer, with a focus on unmet needs of the aging male population.

  • Fexapotide Triflutate

    A protein injectable for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and low-grade localized prostate cancer. It is designed to be administered in the urologist's office in a simple injection that takes a few minutes. FT is a new molecular entity that safely targets prostate glandular cells that have proliferated in BPH. FT works by inducing apoptosis (programmed cell death) which selectively removes cells in the enlarged BPH prostate gland, and is also useful in removing low-grade localized early-stage prostate cancers. In large clinical trials involving over 1,700 men there have been minimal side effects.

  • NicAlert

    A simple, cost-effective test to determine smoking status. It is an easy-to-read test strip that can be used with either a saliva or a urine sample. NicAlert can help smokers and family members get a more accurate measure of smoking; parents check whether their teenaged children are smoking; teachers and high school coaches test high school athletes for smoking or other tobacco product use; verify smoking status for insurance applications; and test subjects in tobacco research studies.

  • TobacAlert

    A test for determining smoking status, similar to NicAlert.
