An investigational drug, FP-101 is being developed to treat vasomotor symptoms or VMS as an extended-release oral tablet. 

It is a non-hormonal, non-herbal, non-antidepressant formulation of a compound with established mechanisms of action with a long history of safe usage.

On obtaining approval from the FDA, this therapy will be made available for patients without requiring a prescription.

Fervent Pharmaceuticals Founder and CEO George Royster said: “I am excited about the product we are investigating and the possibilities it may hold for the improvement in these patients’ quality of life. 

“Further, having a study design that brings the convenience of participation directly into the patients’ homes allows more patients to potentially participate, and do so on their schedules.”
