NexMed, Inc. (Nasdaq: NEXM), a specialty CRO with a pipeline of products based on the NexACT® technology, today announced that results from a pre-clinical study showed significant improvement in the delivery and half life of Å6, a proprietary peptide treatment for ovarian cancer currently in Phase 2 development by Angstrom Pharmaceuticals. Specifically, the incorporation of NexACT® enabled the dose of Å6 to be cut by half, or from twice per day to once per day delivered subcutaneously, while achieving the same level of efficacy in the mouse lung metastasis model.

Bassam Damaj, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of NexMed, stated, “These new findings, incorporating the NexACT-A6 peptide formulation, correlate with the half life and delivery profile of the Å6 compound from Angstrom’s previous studies using the higher dose. The positive results offer Ångstrom the potential to clinically test the NexACT-Å6 peptide at much higher doses while maintaining continuous coverage of the intended therapeutic target in human patients.” Dr. Damaj further added, “This study was NexMed’s first entry into the subcutaneous delivery of peptide drugs, and the results further confirmed the depot-like effect of the NexACT® technology which we had seen in our subcutaneous delivery studies with insulin and taxol.”

Malcolm Finlayson, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Ångstrom noted, “Our relationship with NexMed continues to evolve in a fast and promising way. This new data is very exciting and warrants further investigation to support the opportunity to license the NexACT® technology for human clinical trials.”

About Ångstrom Pharmaceuticals and Å6

Based in San Diego, CA, Ångstrom is developing a new class of drugs targeting CD44 for the treatment of diseases involving cell migration, invasion, and metastasis. Results from a completed Phase 1a safety clinical trial on Å6 showed there were no systemic drug-related adverse events in healthy volunteers. Ångstrom has also successfully completed a Phase 1b clinical trial evaluating Å6 in women with advanced gynecologic cancer, and a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Å6 in women with asymptomatic CA125 progression of epithelial ovarian cancer after first-line chemotherapy. Treatments were well tolerated and more than 40% of the patients dosed continuously with Å6 experienced disease stabilization. For further information, go to www.angstrominc.com.

NexMed Announces Encouraging Pre-Clinical Results Showing the Ability of the NexACT(R) Technology to Enhance the Bioavailability of rituximab When Administered Subcutaneously NexMed Inc NEXM | 5/10/2010 5:19:02 PM SAN DIEGO, May 10, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) --  NexMed, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEXM), a specialty CRO with a pipeline of products based on the NexACT(R) technology, today announced data from a pre-clinical study examining the subcutaneous delivery of rituximab, the first FDA-approved therapeutic antibody for the treatment of cancer in the United States. The study results showed that animals receiving subcutaneous injections of rituximab, incorporated with NexACT, demonstrated a 46% enhancement in bioavailability over rituximab, alone.  Rituximab is a cancer medication that interferes with the development of cancer cells, slowing their growth and spread in the body. Delivered via intravenous infusion, rituximab is the active drug in Rituxan(R), currently marketed by Genentech and Biogen IDEC, and prescribed to treat Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL), Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).  Commenting on today's news, Dr. Bassam Damaj, President and Chief Executive Officer of NexMed, stated, "The ability of the NexACT technology to successfully deliver rituximab subcutaneously in a pre-clinical setting may open the door to improving the delivery of other therapeutic antibodies, which the Company is in the process of studying. The use of human or humanized monoclonal antibodies, therapeutically, was a major breakthrough in the field of medicine. If the NexACT technology can ultimately be shown to lower the amount of antibody administered while improving the route of delivery and minimizing side effects, NexACT could potentially revolutionize the use of these drugs in the future. We look forward to advancing our work in this area and to the further studies that will be needed to validate these results in humans."  About NexMed, Inc.  NexMed is the largest specialty CRO based in San Diego, CA and is one of the industry's most experienced CROs for in vitro and in vivo pharmacology services and research models.

NexMed Announces Pre-Clinical Results Showing That Its Proprietary Calcipotriene Betamethasone Psoriasis Formulation is Bioequvalent to Talconex®

NexMed, Inc. (Nasdaq: NEXM), a specialty CRO with a pipeline of products based on the NexACT® technology, today announced results from a pre-clinical study showing that calcipotriene 0.005% and betamethasone dipropionate 0.064%, when formulated with NexACT®, results in a topical treatment which shows bioequivalecy in efficacy to Talconex®, one of the leading topical treatments marketed for patients with mild to moderate psoriasis.

NexMed conducted two pre-clinical studies on its NexACT-based topical psoriasis treatment. The first efficacy study using a cadaver skin model showed that the NexACT-based formulation of the two active drugs delivered the same level of drugs (measured in ug/cm2/hour) as compared to the commercial Talconex® product. In a second efficacy study, using the DNFB induced allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) pig model, results showed that the NexACT-based formulation significantly lowered the clinical inflammation and erythema score in sick animals. The DNFB induced ACD pig model is the standard pre-clinical model for testing efficacy of calcipotriene-based drugs for psoriasis treatments under development.

Bassam Damaj, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of NexMed, stated, "We have a competitive psoriasis treatment under development. Our NexACT-based formulation is novel and does not infringe on the marketed topical treatments. Our data, though early stage, shows bioequivalency to Talconex®, and further supports the versatility of the NexACT technology and its applicability to a broad range of disease states. We look forward to commencing partnering discussions for continued development of this product candidate."
