About Ovoca Bio plc

Ovoca Bio plc's goal is to become a leader in the development and commercialization of novel product candidates for the treatment of female sexual dysfunctions. In 2018, Ovoca Bio acquired IVIX and its promising clinical stage asset, Libicore (BP-101), for female sexual dysfunction, an area of significant unmet medical need. The magnitude of demand for treatments for female sexual dysfunction has only recently been recognized, and Ovoca believes it has the potential to become a substantial pharmaceutical market.

About IVIX

IVIX, a Russian--incorporated company, was formed in 2012 and since that time has sought to develop and subsequently commercialise a proprietary drug candidate, BP101 (known as "Libicore"), for the treatment of female sexual dysfunctions. Libicore is a novel synthetic peptide, administrated through a nasal spray. Clinical studies completed to-date have demonstrated statistically significant efficacy in the treatment of major forms of female sexual dysfunction. So far, IVIX has reached and completed Phase II clinical studies in Russia for Libicore. It now intends to complete the ongoing Phase III clinical trial for Libicore, following which it will seek approval for the marketing of Libicore in the Russian market, as well seek to expand its use internationally.
