Palatin Technologies Receives Notice of Allowance on Bremelanotide Methods of Use Patent for Treatment of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder in Premenopausal Women
53 minutes ago - DJNF
CRANBURY, N.J., March 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Palatin Technologies, Inc. (NYSE MKT: PTN), a biopharmaceutical company developing targeted, receptor-specific peptide therapeutics for the treatment of diseases with significant unmet medical need and commercial potential, announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a Notice of Allowance for U.S. Patent Application Serial Number 14/704,223. The allowed claims are for methods of treating female sexual dysfunction and hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) with bremelanotide, an investigational product designed for on-demand treatment of HSDD in premenopausal women. Once issued, the patent will have a term to November 2033.

Stephen T. Wills, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Palatin, commented, "We are pleased to have received a notice of allowance from the USPTO, which signifies that a patent can be granted from an application. We believe that this patent, with a term out to 2033, further strengthens the intellectual property portfolio for the bremelanotide development program."

Palatin previously announced positive Phase 3 results with bremelanotide for treating HSDD in premenopausal women. Palatin has entered into an agreement with AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMAG) granting AMAG exclusive North American rights to develop and commercialize bremelanotide.

About Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD)

HSDD, the most common type of female sexual dysfunction, affects approximately 15 million women in the U.S. and is characterized by low sexual desire that causes marked distress or relationship anxiety. Approximately 5.8 million pre-menopausal women have a primary diagnosis of HSDD. Patient awareness and understanding of the condition remain extremely low, and few women currently seek treatment. Recent market research indicates that 95 percent of pre-menopausal women suffering from HSDD are unaware that it is a treatable medical condition. Furthermore, the majority of these women indicated a willingness to try a product like bremelanotide, if recommended by their doctor.

About Bremelanotide

Bremelanotide, an investigational product, is thought to possess a novel mechanism of action, activating endogenous melanocortin pathways involved in sexual desire and response.

The two Phase 3 studies for HSDD in pre-menopausal women consisted of double-blind placebo-controlled, randomized parallel group studies comparing a single use, subcutaneous dose of 1.75 mg of bremelanotide versus placebo, in each case, delivered via an auto-injector. Each trial consisted of more than 600 patients randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the treatment arm or placebo with a 24 week evaluation period. In both clinical trials, bremelanotide met the pre-specified co-primary efficacy endpoints of median improvement in desire and decrease in distress associated with low sexual desire as measured using validated patient-reported outcome instruments.

Women in the trials had the option, after completion of the trial, to continue in an ongoing open-label safety extension study for an additional 52 weeks. Nearly 80% of patients who completed the randomized portion of the study elected to remain in the open-label portion of the study, and all of these patients will continue to receive bremelanotide.

In both Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials, the most frequent adverse events were nausea, flushing, and headache, which were generally mild-to-moderate in severity.

Bremelanotide has no known alcohol interactions.
