PSD503: Development Update
Evaluation and Option Agreement
Plethora Solutions Holdings PLC ("Plethora", AIM: PLE), the specialist developer of products for the treatment and management of urological disorders, announces that it has entered into an evaluation and option agreement for PSD503 with an international pharmaceutical company. Upon completion of the evaluation, Plethora's collaborator has an exclusive option to exclusively license the product for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
SUI is the most common form of urinary incontinence in women and represents a significant market opportunity. It is characterised by urine leakage when pressure is increased in the abdominal cavity; for example during coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising.
Plethora developed PSD503 to provide an 'on demand' treatment for women suffering from SUI. Epidemiological studies indicate that SUI afflicts half of all female urinary incontinence sufferers (but only 10% of incontinent men), and is the most frequently reported type of incontinence diagnosed in women under 50. The condition can have a significant negative impact on quality of life and self esteem. Plethora has previously reported a successful outcome to a Phase IIa trial in women suffering from stress incontinence.
The evaluation programme will comprise a short clinical study for which Plethora will supply clinical materials and the collaborator will meet the cost of the clinical study.
