Daré Bioscience (NASDAQ: DARE) announced the publication of safety data from its Phase 2b RESPOND clinical study of Sildenafil Cream, 3.6% in The Journal of Sexual Medicine. The study, involving 1,357 sexual experiences, showed that the topical cream was safe and well-tolerated by women with female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD) and their partners. Notably, the cream did not produce common side effects associated with oral sildenafil, such as headache and flushing. This is likely due to the hundred-fold lower systemic exposure compared to oral dosing. The study was designed to identify the most responsive patient population and appropriate patient-reported outcome measures for future Phase 3 trials. Daré is currently in discussions with the FDA regarding the development program for Sildenafil Cream as an FSAD treatment.
Daré Bioscience (NASDAQ: DARE) announced the publication of additional data from its Phase 2b RESPOND clinical study of Sildenafil Cream, 3.6% in The Journal of Sexual Medicine. The study, focusing on female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD), revealed that 1-month and 24-hour recall patient reported outcome (PRO) instruments yielded similar responses. This finding supports the use of either method for assessing treatment efficacy in future clinical studies, with longer recall intervals being less burdensome for participants and potentially improving data collection compliance.
The company previously announced a positive end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA, supporting the advancement of Sildenafil Cream for FSAD treatment. Daré continues to interact with the FDA on the development program. Efficacy data from the Phase 2b RESPOND study were also published in Obstetrics & Gynecology.
