GTx, Inc. (Nasdaq: GTXI) today announced that the ASTRID Trial,
a Phase 2 double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of
orally-administered enobosarm (3 mg or 1 mg) in post-menopausal
women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), did not achieve
statistical significance on the primary endpoint of the proportion
of patients with a greater than 50% reduction in incontinence
episodes per day compared to placebo. The percentage of patients
with a greater than 50% reduction after 12 weeks of enobosarm
treatment was 58.9% for 3mg, 57.7% for 1mg and 52.7% for placebo.
Enobosarm was generally safe and well tolerated. Reported adverse
events were minimal and similar across all treatment groups.
“We are very disappointed that the ASTRID Trial did not achieve
its primary endpoint,” said Robert J. Wills, Ph.D., Executive
Chairman of GTx. “We plan to conduct a full review of all the data.
We want to thank the patients, physicians, study coordinators and
the entire GTx team for their support of this novel study. We have
an ongoing preclinical program assessing the potential of SARDs,
our novel selective androgen receptor degrader technology, to treat
castration-resistant prostate cancer. We are currently on target to
have development candidates by year end, which we potentially plan
to take into IND-enabling studies.”
About the ASTRID Trial
The ASTRID (Assessing Enobosarm for Stress
Urinary Incontinence Disorder) Trial is a double-blind,
placebo-controlled, parallel design, Phase 2 study to assess
clinical activity and safety of enobosarm (GTx-024) in
postmenopausal women with Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). The
trial enrolled 493 women and was conducted at over 60 clinical
trial centers across the United States. To learn more

About Stress Urinary Incontinence
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) refers to the unintentional
leakage of urine during activities that increase abdominal pressure
such as coughing, sneezing or physical exercise. SUI, the most
common type of incontinence suffered by women, affects up to 35
percent of adult women. There are a variety of treatments that are
used to treat SUI in women, such as behavioral modification and
pelvic floor physical therapy, especially as initial treatment
options. As the condition worsens however, bulking agents and
surgical procedures are often the most widely used treatments.
About Enobosarm and SUI
Enobosarm (GTx-024), a selective androgen receptor modulator
(SARM), has been evaluated in 27 completed or ongoing clinical
trials enrolling over 2,200 subjects, in which approximately 1,500
subjects were treated with enobosarm at doses ranging from 0.1 mg
to 100 mg. At all evaluated dose levels, enobosarm was observed to
be generally safe and well tolerated. The rationale for evaluating
enobosarm as a treatment for SUI is supported by
preclinical in vivo data demonstrating increases in
pelvic floor muscle mass following treatment with GTx’s SARM
compounds, including enobosarm, and the proof-of-concept Phase 2
clinical trial of enobosarm 3 mg for the treatment of
postmenopausal women with SUI.
About GTx

Forward-Looking Information is Subject to Risk and
Uncertainty
This press release contains forward-looking statements based
upon GTx’s current expectations. Forward-looking statements involve
risks and uncertainties, and include, but are not limited to,
statements relating to GTx’s ongoing clinical development of its
selective androgen receptor degrader (SARD) compounds. GTx’s actual
results and the timing of events could differ materially from those
anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these
risks and uncertainties, which include, without limitation, the
risks (i) that additional clinical development of GTx’s SARD
compounds for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer
(CRPC) will be required beyond the ongoing study; and (ii) any
future development of SARDs in CRPC is contingent on obtaining
sufficient additional capital to permit such development, which it
may be unable to do. GTx will continue to need additional funding
and may be unable to raise capital when needed, which would force
GTx to delay, reduce or eliminate its product candidate development
programs and potentially cease operations. GTx’s actual results and
the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated
in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and
uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this
press release. GTx’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period
ended June 30, 2018, contains under the heading, “Risk
Factors,” a more comprehensive description of these and other risks
to which GTx is subject. GTx expressly disclaims any obligation or
undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any
forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change
in its expectations with regard thereto or any change in events,
conditions or circumstances on which any such statements are
based.
