Easton Pharmaceuticals (OTC: EAPH - News), a specialty
pharmaceutical company that designs, develops, and markets a
premium array of topically-delivered therapeutic healthcare
products announces It has re-entered the drug market by acquiring a
50 percent ownership interest in a Drug designed to treat (FSAD)
Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD). The acquisition terms are
for the issuance of 10,000,000 restricted shares of the company’s
common stock, previously issued in escrow and an option to purchase
additional shares should the drug be developed and brought to a
certain stage utilizing FDA protocols.
The Drug, whose name is not being disclosed at this point in
time, is a topical Drug that consists of Alprostadil as its main
ingredient. The acquisition includes a proprietary delivery system
technology encompassing the use of “HA” Hyulronic Acid. The other
50 percent ownership interest of the Drug is owned by a private
Canadian Pharmaceutical Company who’s name at this point is also
being kept private. Easton Pharmaceuticals will need to develop a
co-operative collaborating relationship for any additional progress
to be made with the Drug. Included with the acquisition of the Drug
designed to treat FSAD are certain patents / patent pendings filed
in the United States patent office, Canada and in Europe, which
includes a transdermal delivery technology which are presently not
being used in any of Easton’s current product lines. Additional
updates on this Drug including disclosing full product name, its
patents / patent pendings and future plans will be made available
in subsequent press releases and on its updated website to be
shortly brought online.
In addition to some initial preliminary studies performed and
positive data received, in 2007 and early 2008 the FSAD Drug
underwent clinical trials using FDA protocols at Cedars-Sinai
Medical Center, located in Beverley Hills, CA. The clinical study
was not completed in its entirety and was ended prematurely due to
various reasons, none of which were known to be related to any
efficacy or safety issues.
The FSAD Drug is a water soluble, non-irritating, gel that is
applied directly to the external female genitalia and uses a
transdermal delivery system to deliver Alprostadil (0.08%), also
known as prostaglandin E1, into the tissue. Alprostadil is a well
known vasodilator that has been shown to induce vulvar and clitoral
engorgement, increase vulvar erythema and edema, which indicates
increased blood flow to the genital area. In preliminary studies,
the Drug gel was shown to positively affect sexual arousal and
pleasure in a dose dependent manner. Presently there are no
products approved by the FDA to treat FSAD, but a similar type
product is presently under clinical trials, but using its own
proprietary delivery system.
John Adams, CEO of Easton Pharmaceuticals commented, “ After
lengthy discussions, we are pleased to have finally come to terms
and close on the acquisition of this drug which has shown promise
in preliminary testing. Although the company must develop a
collaborative joint effort with the other 50 percent owner of the
Drug who’s name is currently being kept private, we believe both
companies can assist each other to allow the Drug to be brought to
a different stage in development including re-initiating clinical
trials.” Mr. Adams further commented, “Although we have made the
decision to acquire and re-enter into the drug industry as a
treatment for FSAD, this does not in any way signify that it is
deviating away from developing and bringing to market its “Viorra”
product, which is not being classified as a drug requiring time
consuming FDA clinical trials for the treatment of FSAD. We believe
“Viorra” can be a safe and effective way to help treat the
condition of FSAD for certain individuals looking to avoid
precarious treatments and side effects.”
