Nymox's fexapotide has been shown to produce long-term improvements in lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a problem that afflicts an estimated 100 million or more men in the world. Fexapotide does not cause the annoying side effects and risks found with available treatments for BPH and has also been shown to lower the occurrence of surgery for BPH.  Fexapotide is also in development for low grade prostate cancer.
