Further details on the November 6 presentations at the New York AUA Meeting will be provided prior to the meeting.

Dr. Paul Averback, CEO of Nymox said, "The upcoming meetings and presentations at the AUA meeting November 6 will involve highly experienced and well-known BPH investigators who participated in the trials and who will present data and discuss results of the Fexapotide Phase 3 clinical studies. These represent the second and third of many important communication undertakings with the medical communities which are and will be occurring for Fexapotide."

Nymox's lead drug Fexapotide has been in development for over 10 years and has been tested by expert clinical trial investigative teams in over 70 distinguished clinical trial centers throughout the US, and has been found after 7 years of prospective placebo controlled double blind studies of treatment of 995 U.S. men with prostate enlargement to not only show clinically meaningful and durable relief of BPH symptoms, but also to show a major reduction in the incidence of prostate cancer, compared to placebo and compared to the known and expected normal incidence of the disease. The same clinical program has also shown in a long-term blinded placebo crossover group study an 82-95% reduction in the number of these patients who required surgery after they received crossover Fexapotide in the trial, as compared to patients who did not receive Fexapotide but instead received crossover conventional approved BPH treatments (p<.0001).
