Summary
Introduction
Palatin Technologies' bremelanotide (PT-141) is a novel melanocortin receptor agonist that is believed to be the only agent currently in development for the treatment of both erectile dysfunction (ED) and female sexual dysfunction (FSD).
Highlights
While there would appear to be much potential for an agent that can improve libido in both male and female patients without acting directly on the vascular system, we believe that unclear efficacy of PTN's bremelanotide and substantial regulatory risk diminish the potential this agent in the treatment of male and female sexual dysfunction.Pending results from the two Phase IIb trials which are expected later this year, we forecast US bremelanotide revenues well below the blockbuster potential estimated by some Wall Street analysts.
