ENGLEWOOD, CO / ACCESSWIRE / August 1, 2019 / Aytu BioScience, Inc. (NASDAQ:AYTU), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing novel products that address significant patient needs, today announced that the Natesto Spermatogenesis Study results have been accepted for presentation as a “Late-Breaking Abstract” by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). The study results will be presented at the 75th ASRM Scientific Congress & Expo in Philadelphia, PA October 12-16, 2019.
The Natesto Spermatogenesis Study results have been submitted in abstract form to ASRM, and complete results will remain embargoed until the date of the presentation, which is October 16, 2019.
Dr. Ranjith Ramasamy, MD, Associate Professor and Director of Reproductive Urology at the University of Miami School of Medicine and the study’s principal investigator, will present the data in conjunction with Dr. Thomas Masterson, MD, Fellow in Reproductive Urology at the University of Miami School of Medicine.
Late-breaking abstracts highlight novel and practice-changing studies and will be presented at ASRM’s “Late-Breaking Abstract” session beginning at 10:45 AM ET on Wednesday, October 16, 2019. The Natesto Spermatogenesis Study is one of only six abstracts accepted for presentation by ASRM. Abstracts are accepted for presentation based on the impact of the study findings.
Following the presentation, the results of the Natesto Spermatogenesis Study will be published in abstract form in the Abstract Supplement to the journal Fertility and Sterility.
The Natesto Spermatogenesis Study is investigating the impact of Natesto, the only FDA approved, nasally-administered testosterone treatment, on sperm parameters. This Phase IV, single-site, prospective study is evaluating hypogonadal men, ages 18 to 55, completing a six-month treatment period with Natesto to restore clinically low serum testosterone levels with the goal of maintaining sperm concentration, motility, and total motile sperm count.
Interim results presented to date demonstrate that almost all subjects completing the six-month treatment period not only had serum testosterone levels return to the normal range, but all measures of semen parameters including sperm concentration, sperm motility, and total motile sperm count (TMSC) remained unchanged through three months and six months of therapy.
No additional information regarding the results from the Natesto Spermatogenesis Study will be available until the data are released on October 16, 2019.
