Advancing a new treatment option for women's health

Acrux is developing a novel Female Testosterone Metered Dose Transdermal Spray (MDTS) for postmenopausal women experiencing hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), a condition characterised by persistent low sexual desire associated with personal distress.

  • There is currently no FDA-approved testosterone treatment specifically for women in the United States, highlighting a significant unmet medical need.
  • Building on completed Phase I and Phase II clinical studies, Acrux is progressing towards Phase III clinical development following recent regulatory engagement with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
  • The Company's proprietary MDTS technology is designed to deliver controlled, female-appropriate doses of testosterone through a convenient, once-daily transdermal spray.
