(NASDAQ:DARE), a leader in women’s health innovation, and Strategic Science & Technologies, LLC (SST), a Cambridge, MA based novel topical drug delivery company, today announced a poster presentation at the Sexual Medicine Society of North America 20th Annual Fall Scientific Meeting, which took place in Nashville, Tennessee, October 24-27, 2019. Daré, in collaboration with SST, is developing Sildenafil Cream, 3.6% as a potential treatment for female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD).\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Clitoral Temperature Change During Sexually Explicit Stimuli\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n Sue Goldstein, CCRC, AASECT-CSE, Clinical Research Manager at San Diego Sexual Medicine, presented positive findings from a double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-way crossover study that used thermography to assess the pharmacodynamics of Sildenafil Cream, 3.6% in healthy women. “The study findings showed statistically significant increases in genital temperature, a surrogate for genital blood flow, and self-reported arousal response within thirty minutes of application of Sildenafil Cream when compared to placebo, demonstrating that Sildenafil Cream elicits a quantifiable, rapid genital response,” said the principal investigator for the study, Dr. Irwin Goldstein, Director of Sexual Medicine at Alvarado Hospital and Director of San Diego Sexual Medicine. “There are currently no FDA-approved products for the treatment of FSAD, so these findings are encouraging and demonstrate the potential of Sildenafil Cream to become an important new therapy for women with FSAD.” FSAD is a condition characterized primarily by an inability to attain or maintain sufficient genital arousal during sexual activity. Sildenafil is the active ingredient in Viagra®, the orally administered treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. As with ED in men, FSAD in women is associated with insufficient blood flow to the genitalia. Sildenafil Cream, 3.6%, a proprietary cream formulation of sildenafil for topical administration to the vulva and vagina, is designed to increase...
