IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 2, 2026 / Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation ("Nymox", "The Company") (OTCQB:NYMXF) reports that its plans for Nymozarfex are currently focused on re-submission in the US for marketing approval. The initial US submission was not accepted to be reviewed.
The Company's subsequent 2 submissions to Denmark and UK agencies were both accepted for full review but were initially refused and will require updated re-submission and re-review if the Company decides to pursue EU approvals further. The UK refused the application after review, and while the Company will not be appealing the UK decision at this time, updated re-submissions are a possibility. The Company believes Nymozarfex has the necessary clinical and scientific data required to formulate the required re-submissions. The reviewers remained skeptical re: 1. the one-year persistence of the significant placebo effect, despite the well established fact that the Nymozarfex non-oral placebo trial data was corroborated by the data in practically all non-oral BPH placebo groups in the entire published world literature; and 2. re what are the practical benefits of longer-term efficacy in this chronic long-term condition; and despite the primary endpoint symptom test scores being the universal endpoint used by urologists and agencies in the field for many decades.
Nymox CEO stated "Due to current financial limits, updated re-submissions will require additional financing. There remains great public demand for safe treatments for BPH and early prostate cancer, without the distressing side effects and discomforts of approved treatments. The Company is confident that with additional support, the treatments will become available to patients. The independently audited overall double blind Phase 3 long-term data has a p value of .0003 vs placebo, which we consider to be more than adequately solid."
