TherapeuticsMD provides an update regarding REPLENISH--will it be superior to current market of compounded hormone medications?

TherapeuticsMD provides an update regarding REPLENISHLast but not least, TherapeuticsMD, a women's health care company, provided an update regarding its phase 3 trial for TX 12-001HR, an experimental treatment for menopause symptoms.
TherapeuticsMD has now completed its 50th site enrollment for the double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, known as REPLENISH. REPLENISH will measure the reduction in the frequency and severity of hot flashes over a 90-day period while checking endometrial protection for a year.
TX 12-001HR is one of the company's four main hormone therapies. According to a study commissioned by the company, the current market for hormone therapies is estimated to be worth over $3.7 billion per year.
TX 12-001HR stands out from other hormone therapies because it is the first and only bioidentical low-dose HRT (hormone replacement therapy) combo. This means it contains two equal low doses of the hormones 17ß-estradiol and progesterone, which is considered a superior option to the current market of "compounded" (customized) menopausal drugs.
If approved by 2016, analysts believe TX 12-001 could generate peak sales of $300 million -- hardly a blockbuster, but not a bad boost for a company that only reported $3.8 million in revenue in fiscal 2012.
