What happened recently at DARE?
Daré Bioscience develops innovative products for women’s health as a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company. As part of its mission, DARE brings to market a wide range of differentiated therapies for women debating contraception, vaginal health, sexual health, and fertility.
The Phase 1 clinical trial of DARE-HRT1 by Daré Bioscience recently reported positive topline results.
- DARE-HRT1 is a new IVR technology that delivers bio-identical 17-estradiol and bio-identical progesterone continuously for 28 days as part of a hormone therapy (HT) regimen to treat vasomotor symptoms (VMS) and genitourinary syndrome associated with menopause.
- Two different active pharmaceutical ingredients were successfully delivered by DARE-HRT1 reliably over 28 days.
- It is a great achievement for Daré and for the IVR platform to generate positive topline data in its first Phase 1 study utilizing novel IVR technology.
- The use of hormone therapy for some women can relieve symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness while also preventing bone loss.
- The North American Menopause Society’s guidance on hormone therapy includes that dosing estrogen and progestogen in combination may offer important benefits to women and NAMS observed that non-oral routes of administration may offer advantages over orally administered therapies.
What DARE study has demonstrated?
Daré Bioscience (DARE) is encouraged by the Phase 1 results since these data demonstrate DARE-HRT1’s ability to meet its dual release objectives. IVR technology played a big role in DARE-HRT1’s success as it provides hormone therapy as well as platform technology. Compared to current vaginal drug delivery solutions, Dare-HRT1’s IVR technology may offer a more flexible and convenient way to deliver drugs to women as it allows them to release one or more drugs at a desired rate over time and at their convenience as well.
