"For this reason, it is important for us to find safer alternatives for treating menopausal symptoms. The favorable dose response trend signals that MF101 may become a clear alternative to traditional postmenopausal hormone therapy for relief of vasomotor symptoms. We are excited by the prospect of moving forward with the development of a product that could potentially have such broad reach and positively affect the quality of life for millions of women and their loved ones. This first Phase 2 trial conducted by Bionovo serves as a proof of our drug development strategy and we look forward to advancing MF101 into registration trials."

About MF101

MF101 is an estrogen receptor (ER) beta selective drug developed as an alternative to postmenopausal hormone products currently on the market, which are both ER beta and ER alpha agonists that have been shown to increase the risk for breast and uterine cancers. It has been shown that the increased risk of breast and uterine cancers is associated with ER alpha activation and that ER beta blocks the growth promoting effects on breast cancer cells. Bionovo recognized the opportunity to commercialize a product that would be equally effective, with an improved safety profile compared to traditional hormone therapy. The clinical trial results have been evaluated by an independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board and the drug candidate has passed through a standard two-phase examination for safety.
