Menopausal symptoms: None reported
Tolerability: HMI-115 was well-tolerated, with no treatment-related serious adverse events
Expert Perspectives
Lan Zhu, Director of Gynecology at Peking Union Medical College Hospital:
"HMI-115 relieved endometriosis pain in women without disturbing their sex hormones. It can potentially shift the treatment paradigm, allowing treatment without menopausal side effects or impacting fertility."
Professor Rui-Ping Xiao, Founder of Hope Medicine:
"HMI-115 is the first prolactin receptor blocker for endometriosis and the first non-hormonal treatment worldwide to clear proof-of-concept. This represents a major step forward for women’s health."
Nathan Chen, CEO of Hope Medicine:
"HMI-115 is Phase 3 ready. We are actively engaging with regulatory agencies, including the FDA and NMPA, to finalize the Phase 3 protocol and initiate global studies."
