(NASDAQ: SCYX), a biotechnology company pioneering innovative medicines to overcome and prevent difficult-to-treat and drug-resistant infections, today announced the presentation of two oral abstracts and a sponsored symposium at this year’s Infectious Diseases Society for Obstetrics and Gynecology (IDSOG) Virtual Annual Meeting. IDSOG brings together some of the most prominent scientists and clinicians focused on infectious diseases for women, annually. The presentations will highlight clinical results from the Company’s VANISH-303 Phase 3 trial, underscoring the potential of ibrexafungerp as a treatment for vaginal yeast infections, which affect millions of women in the U.S. every year, and include a discussion on the current antifungal diagnostic and treatment landscape.\n “We are very excited to share our VANISH-303 data for the first time with the scientific community. The data demonstrated in a large clinical study, that ibrexafungerp was significantly superior when compared to placebo on multiple clinical and microbiological endpoints,” said Dr. Nkechi Azie, Vice President of Clinical Development and Medical Affairs. “For a condition that affects many women but has limited treatment options, all within only one drug class, the market clearly needs a therapeutic alternative. This data, along with the VANISH-306 results, are part of a planned submission of a New Drug Application in the fourth quarter of this year.” Presentation details: Title:In vitro activity of ibrexafungerp in pH 7.0 and pH 4.5 testing environments against 187 fluconazole‐susceptible and ‐resistant candida species from vulvovaginal candidiasis patients.Presenter:Jack Sobel, MD, Wayne State UniversityType:Oral abstractDate:August 14, 2020Time: 2:55 p.m. EDT to 3:00 p.m. EDTSummary:Dr. Sobel will present data from an in vitro study performed in his laboratory at Wayne State University, demonstrating that acidic pH environments, like the vagina, do not adversely affect the activity and potency of ibrexafungerp unlike fluconazole, which is adversely affected when tested...
