Testosterone Tests Effective

November 20, 2008

As part of  our biotechnology special focus this week, TWST did an interview with the Stephen Simes, president and CEO of BioSante Pharmaceuticals (BPAX) – a speciality pharmaceutical company focusing specifically on female sexual health.

The company received good news last week, when a study was published on the effectiveness of testosterone in treating female sexual health in postmenopausal women. The study claimed that testosterone had modest but meaningful results of patients.

BioSante is currently on Phase III trials of LibiGel- a testosterone based gel  for the treatment of HSDD (hypoactive sexual desire disorder) in menopausal and postmenopausal women. The study is a positive step for them towards gaining FDA approval.
