Dicot's study results to be presented at leading scientific congress

Press release: Uppsala, December 6, 2021. The pharmaceutical company Dicot announces that the results of Dicot's drug candidate will be presented at the European Society for Sexual Medicine's (ESSM) annual congress in Rotterdam in February 2022.

ESSM is the leading scientific society for sexual medicine and the annual congress in February brings together prominent researchers and doctors from around the world. Dicot and Pelvipharm have sent in an abstract with results from animal studies demonstrating the long-term effect of LIB-01.

Dicot now announces that ESSM's Scientific Council, after reviewing all abstracts submitted to the congress, selected Dicot's abstract to be presented orally at the annual congress.

As previously reported, Dicot is collaborating with the French contract laboratory Pelvipharm, world leading in the field of sexual dysfunctions. Studies with Dicot's drug candidate LIB-01 have, as previously reported, demonstrated effect on erectile function, tested in both healthy rats and in animals with a disease picture.

“Being selected to present our results from studies with LIB-01 at the ESSM's annual congress confirms how important and remarkable these results are in this scientific field. By presenting at ESSM our results will reach out to an international audience and thereby increase interest in LIB-01", says Göran Beijer, CEO of Dicot.
