SPONTAN is a world-first, fast-acting, on-demand nasal spray treatment for ED.
LTR Pharma Limited (ASX:LTP) (“LTR Pharma”, “the Company”) today announced that all patients recruited for
its pivotal bioequivalence clinical study of SPONTAN® nasal spray (“the Study”) have now received their second
and final dose, completing the recruitment and dosing stage of the clinical study.
SPONTAN’s unique nasal delivery technology bypasses the digestive system and is designed to overcome the
issues of oral tablets for ED by having a significantly faster onset of action within 10 minutes.
The Study is evaluating the relative bioavailability of SPONTAN, a novel and proprietary PDE5 (Vardenafil) nasal
spray treatment for ED. This first-in-kind nasal spray will be compared to oral administration of Vardenafil, a widely
used PDE5 oral tablet and is designed to highlight the innovative nature of SPONTAN in the field of ED treatment.
With recruitment and dosing now complete, the Study progresses to the data evaluation phase, with data readout expected in mid-2024.
The Study is a critical milestone in the Company’s strategic, expedited path to commercialisation. Data collected
from the Study will used to support the pre-submission meetings with the FDA and prescriptions of SPONTAN via
the early access scheme in Australia.
LTR Pharma Chairman, Lee Rodne, said: "With recruitment and dosing now complete, we thank the participants
and our partners for contributing to this critical study. We are the first and only nasal spray coming to market for the
treatment of Erectile Dysfunction and are extremely excited to bring this key innovation to men worldwide. We are now
entering the data analysis phase. We believe SPONTAN represents a large paradigm shift in the treatment for Erectile
Dysfunction and is a disruptor to the global blockbuster PDE5 (Viagra, etc) market.”
Study design and overview
The Study is a single-dose, randomised, open-label, 2-treatment, 2-period crossover study of SPONTAN nasal
spray (5 mg Vardenafil) compared to Vardenafil tablets (10 mg Vardenafil) in healthy adult male subjects under
fasting conditions. The duration of involvement for each participant is approximately 4 weeks (including
screening). The Study has been specifically designed to meet the FDA and other markets future requirements.
With the Study results expected in mid-2024, LTR Pharma is optimistic about SPONTAN nasal spray's path to
market and potential to significantly impact the erectile dysfunction treatment landscape.
