In addition, news of the NX-1207 clinical studies success has been shown on many U.S. television networks.

NX-1207 is a novel drug developed by Nymox which is in Phase 3 development for the treatment of BPH. The drug has successfully completed a series of blinded controlled multi-center U.S. clinical trials where it has been found to produce improvements that are about double that reported for currently approved BPH drugs. NX-1207 is administered by a urologist in an office procedure that takes only a few minutes and involves little or no pain or discomfort. Patients notice improvement as early as a week or two after treatment. Follow-up studies have shown that many men showed continued benefit from a single NX-1207 treatment for 2 years or more. NX-1207 treatment does not require the patient to take pills daily for the rest of his life, like currently approved BPH medications.

Presentations of clinical study data at urology meetings have been well-received and the Company has received a large number of communications from patients and doctors throughout the U.S. and internationally, interested in participating in clinical trials. Investigative site recruitment activities are proceeding well.
