Press Release
Daré Bioscience Announces a Poster Presentation on a Pharmacokinetic Study of DARE-FRT1, in Development for Sustained-Release Progesterone Therapy for Pregnancy Maintenance, at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine 2019 Scientific Congress & Expo
Daré’s Chief Scientific Officer,
“The research being highlighted at this year's ASRM meeting reinforces our commitment to develop new treatment options for women at risk for preterm birth and to better support providers and women utilizing progesterone to improve outcomes following an IVF procedure,” said
Impaired fecundity (physical difficulties getting pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to live birth) affects an estimated 6.7 million women aged 15-44 in the U.S., or approximately 11% of women of reproductive age, and 25% of infertile couples have more than one factor leading to infertility.1,2 According to
“DARE-FRT1 has the potential to continuously deliver bio-identical progesterone in a convenient way during a period of 14 days,” said Dr. Friend. “With approximately 10% of all pregnancies in the U.S. resulting in preterm births,4 and the increasing demand for pregnancy support following IVF procedures, DARE-FRT1 could become an important new option for women and healthcare providers seeking better ways to address these significant unmet needs in women’s health.”
