Conference Call and Webcast Today at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time
SAN DIEGO, May 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Daré Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ: DARE), a leader in women’s health innovation, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and provided a company update.
“The strong momentum of 2020 continued during the first quarter of 2021 for Daré. Having completed the DARE-BVFREE Phase 3 study in late 2020, we are preparing to file a New Drug Application with the FDA for DARE-BV1 for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis during the second quarter. This will be Daré’s first NDA submission and represents a meaningful milestone for our company,” said Sabrina Martucci Johnson, President and CEO of Daré Bioscience. “In March of 2021, we initiated the Phase 2b RESPOND study of Sildenafil Cream, 3.6% for the treatment of female sexual arousal disorder, and our clinical sites are actively recruiting. FSAD represents a significant unmet need, with an estimated 10 million women in the U.S. experiencing distress from symptoms of low or no sexual arousal and actively seeking treatment. Daré’s strategy is to identify and advance candidates that address persistent unmet needs in women’s health, and Sildenafil Cream, 3.6% falls squarely within our mission.”
