The drug’s potential to treat the symptoms of menopause was discovered through what the company described as ‘serendipity and a keen eye for detail and observation’.

According to Fervent, most of the existing FDA-approved treatments for symptoms in post-menopausal women include estrogen hormone replacement therapy, which carries an increased risk of heart disease, breast cancer, deep vein thrombosis, stroke and gall bladder disease.

Formed in 2011, Fervent is primarily involved in developing therapies targeting unmet medical needs in women’s health.
