Peptonic Medical AB (publ) ("Peptonic") announces that the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") has granted patent (16238.0043U1) for the treatment and prevention of vaginal yeast infections among women. The patent, valid until 2041, represents a significant progress for Peptonic in enabling women to independently manage their intimate health. In a clinical study, good treatment results have been demonstrated in a limited group of women.
The patent is based on Peptonic's clinically proven gel base which has been adapted to target candida albicans, the most common cause of vaginal yeast infections. The gel is designed to moisturize and balance the natural pH in the intimate area, while gently preserving the delicate vaginal flora. A clinical study on a limited population of women showed a good effect against Candida albicans, highlighting its potential to treat and prevent vaginal yeast infections.
"The granted patent not only protects our unique formulation in treating yeast infections but also constitutes a fundamental part of our ambition to enabling women to independently self-diagnose, treat, and prevent common medical conditions in the intimate area," says Anna Linton, CEO of Peptonic.
Vaginal yeast infections are a prevalent condition affecting up to three out of four women at some point in their lives, with many experiencing recurring infections. Globally, there are indications of and concerns about resistance development to available treatments, creating a need for new treatment options.
