LibiGel®* Treatment of Women with
Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD)
LibiGel® is a gel formulation of testosterone in development that is quickly absorbed through the skin after a once-daily application of a pea-sized dose of gel on the upper arm, delivering testosterone to the bloodstream evenly over time and in a non-invasive and painless manner. Though generally characterized as a male hormone, testosterone also is present in women and its deficiency has been found to decrease libido or sex drive. In addition, studies have shown that testosterone therapy can increase bone density, raise energy levels and improve mood, in addition to boosting sexual desire and activity.
Regulatory Status
The LibiGel clinical development program, in consultation and agreement with the FDA, has been designed to show that LibiGel can safely improve women's sexual desire and the frequency of satisfying sexual events and decrease personal distress associated with low sexual desire in women with HSDD. BioSante is conducting three Phase III LibiGel clinical studies and BioSante's objective is to submit a new drug application (NDA) to the FDA in 2011 for a potential approval in 2012.
Progress and Plans in Phase III:
Currently, BioSante is conducting three Phase III clinical studies to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of LibiGel to increase sexual desire and satisfying sexual events and to decrease distress associated with the decreased desire. Two Phase III safety and efficacy trials that are underway are randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trials which will enroll approximately 500 surgically menopausal women each for six-months of treatment. BioSante is conducting these trials under an FDA agreed special protocol assessment (SPA). In addition, BioSante has another SPA agreement with the FDA related to treatment of naturally menopausal women. The SPA process and agreement confirms the FDA's position that FSD and HSDD are true conditions that women experience, with measurable endpoints, that can be evaluated and which deserve therapeutic options. It also affirms that the FDA agrees that the LibiGel Phase III safety and efficacy clinical trial design, clinical endpoints, sample size, planned conduct and statistical analyses are acceptable to support regulatory approval. Further, it provides assurance that these agreed measures will serve as the basis for regulatory review and the decision by the FDA to approve an NDA for LibiGel.
In addition to the two Phase III safety and efficacy trials covered by the SPA, BioSante is conducting one Phase III cardiovascular and breast cancer safety study of LibiGel, which also is underway. The safety study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, cardiovascular events and breast cancer study of between 2,750 and
4,000 women exposed to LibiGel or placebo. BioSante will follow the women enrolled in the safety study for a total of 5 years. However, after an average of 12 months' exposure BioSante intends to submit a LibiGel NDA for review and potential approval by FDA.
The LibiGel safety study is tracking a composite of cardiovascular events including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction and stroke in women with FSD who are 50 years of age or older and have at least two cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes. The objective of the safety study is to show the relative safety of testosterone compared to placebo in the number of cardiovascular events. The incidence of breast cancer also will be tracked throughout the study.
BioSante has reported that in the first 2,750 women enrolled comprising approximately 2,700 women-years of exposure, there have been only 14 adjudicated cardiovascular events even though the safety study is enrolling women with a higher risk of cardiovascular events. To date, over 2,750 women have been enrolled.
BioSante's obective is to submit the LibiGel NDA in 2011 for a potential FDA approval in 2012.
