ATLANTA, May 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Femasys Inc. (NASDAQ: FEMY), a leading biomedical company focused on addressing significant unmet needs of women worldwide with a broad portfolio of in-office, accessible and innovative therapeutic and diagnostic products, announces financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and provides a corporate update.

Corporate Highlights from 1Q 2024 to date

  • Company announced positive topline data from pivotal trial for FDA-cleared FemaSeed® for the treatment of infertility.
  • Company announced the first in-office commercial procedure with FDA-cleared FemaSeed infertility solution at a former investigative site.
  • Appointed Richard Spector as Chief Commercial Officer.
  • Initiated enrollment in pivotal trial (NCT05977751) of our permanent birth control candidate FemBloc at two academic sites, for a total of six active sites, the maximum permitted in the first stage.

“Femasys is well positioned to commercialize our infertility portfolio, led by FemaSeed in 2024 with promising top line data from the FemaSeed pivotal trial that was more than double the historic intrauterine insemination (IUI) pregnancy rates for male factor infertility (i.e., low sperm count). We are focused on completing recruitment of the commercial team and ramping up commercial operations, while continuing to support enrollment in our pivotal trial for FemBloc, our proprietary solution for permanent non-surgical birth control,” said Femasys’ CEO Kathy Lee-Sepsick. “We believe we have sufficient cash to fund operations into the second half of 2025, allowing us to continue our track record of achieving our stated milestones and moving our mission forward to deliver innovative purposely engineered solutions for women’s health that are safe, effective, accessible, and affordable.”
