BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TherapeuticsMD, Inc. (NASDAQ: TXMD), an innovative women’s healthcare company, today announced the schedule of ten oral presentations and posters at NAMS 2018, the annual meeting of the North American Menopause Society being held in San Diego, California on October 3-6, 2018, related to ImvexxyTM (estradiol vaginal inserts) and TX-001HR, the Company’s investigational bio-identical hormone therapy combination of estradiol and progesterone in a single, oral softgel for the treatment of moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms due to menopause.
There will be three oral presentations reviewing the findings of the Phase 3 Replenish Trial of TX-001HR and the systemic profile of Imvexxy (TX-004HR).
“We are pleased to present additional data from the Replenish Trial that further support the safety and efficacy of TX-001HR as the first bio-identical combination hormone therapy of estradiol and progesterone,” said TherapeuticsMD Chief Medical Officer Sebastian Mirkin, M.D. “The FDA PDUFA target action date for TX-001HR is October 28, 2018. If approved, TX-001HR would provide an FDA-approved treatment option for the millions of postmenopausal women who are currently seeking treatment for moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms using unapproved compounded hormones.”
