Josh Disbrow, Chief Executive Officer of Aytu BioScience, stated, "In collaboration with leading experts in the urology field, we continue to demonstrate a wide breadth of clinical and scientific data surrounding Natesto.  These two presentations at the American Urological Association annual meeting highlight Natesto's distinct efficacy profile as it relates to improving erectile function and mood in hypogonadal men, while also demonstrating Natesto's safety in maintaining pituitary gonadotropin levels in the standard male adult range throughout treatment."  

The presentations were as follows:

Title: Preservation of Normal Concentrations of Pituitary Gonadotropins Despite Achievement of Normal Serum Testosterone Levels in Hypogonadal Men Treated with a 4.5% Nasal Testosterone Gel
Poster Number: MP89-06
Session: Infertility: Therapy I
Presenter: Williams Conners, MD, Harvard Medical School, Urology
Conclusion: Treatment with Natesto restored serum testosterone levels to normal levels in hypogonadal men, while the pituitary gonadotropin levels were reduced, but remained within the standard adult ranges.  

Title: Clinical Improvements in Erectile Function and Mood in Hypogonadal Men Treated with 4.5% Nasal Testosterone Gel
Podium Session Number: PD69-06
Presenter: Larry Lipshultz, MD, Baylor College of Medicine, Urology
