Lorexys™ is an investigational oral, non-hormonal central nervous system therapy targeting HSDD in women, the most common type of female sexual dysfunction. The therapy is designed to restore the balance of key neurotransmitters in the brain – dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine – that are known to regulate sexual inhibition and sexual excitation. The goal of the Phase 2a clinical study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pro-sexual efficacy of Lorexys™ as compared to monotherapy with bupropion, one of its constituent drugs.
