Femasys Inc. (Nasdaq: FEMY), a leading biomedical company focused
on addressing significant unmet needs of women worldwide with a
broad portfolio of in-office, accessible, and innovative
therapeutic and diagnostic products, today announces the
expansion of its commercial management team, marking a significant
milestone in the company's mission to advance women's health
worldwide. With the addition of new team members to its commercial
team in key strategic geographical locations, Femasys is poised to
fully initiate its strategic initiatives and execute on its
delivery of innovative, accessible options to impact women’s
healthcare.
The newly appointed team brings together seasoned professionals
with a wealth of commercial experience across various sectors of
the healthcare industry. Their collective expertise plays a pivotal
role in driving Femasys' commercial efforts forward to realize the
Company’s strategic vision, with initial emphasis on the Company’s
infertility portfolio, led by the FemaSeed® product.
"The formation of our commercial team with highly professional
executives with a proven track record is a testament to Femasys'
dedication to securing top talent to drive our sales &
marketing initiatives forward with initial focus on our infertility
portfolio," said Kathy Lee-Sepsick CEO of Femasys. "Their
leadership and expertise will be instrumental in guiding Femasys as
we continue to offer revolutionary products and expand our
portfolio as we grow our reach to healthcare practitioners
addressing women's healthcare needs. In April of this year, federal
data revealed that birth rates in the U.S. reached a record low in
2023; we believe our FemaSeed approach has the potential to help
those looking for infertility solutions as they navigate their
reproductive journey.”
FDA-cleared FemaSeed is a revolutionary approach to enhancing
natural fertilization, as a cost-effective primary therapeutic
choice that stands to replace traditional intrauterine insemination
(IUI) as the first step prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF) or
intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) given its significantly
lower risks. Engineered to precisely deliver sperm into the
fallopian tube, the site of conception, FemaSeed enables reliable
and safe artificial insemination. With efficacy rates more than
double historic IUI rates, specifically for male factor infertility
(i.e., low sperm count), women and couples will now have an option
that is cost affordable and less invasive than assisted
reproductive procedures.
The commercial management team will begin concerted efforts
during the esteemed 2024 American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists (ACOG) Annual Clinical and Scientific Meeting, to be
held in San Francisco’s Moscone Center May 17-19, 2024. This event
serves as a platform for thought leaders, healthcare professionals,
and industry stakeholders to convene and discuss the latest
advancements in women's health. Femasys will be exhibiting at the
conference at Booth #1413.
The 2024 ACOG meeting presents an ideal opportunity for Femasys
to showcase the strength of its initial commercial team and its
commitment to shaping the future of women's healthcare. Attendees
can anticipate engaging discussions with Femasys' commercial
executives, gaining insights into the company's broad portfolio of
products, including commercially available FemVue®, FemaSeed®, and
FemCerv®, along with the late-stage clinical candidate, FemBloc®
for non-surgical permanent birth control.
About the American College of
Obstetricians and GynecologistsFounded in 1951, ACOG is
the premier professional membership organization for
obstetrician–gynecologists. The College produces practice
guidelines for health care professionals and educational materials
for patients, provides practice management and career support,
facilitates programs and initiatives to improve women’s health, and
advocates for members and patients.
About FemaSeedFemaSeed® is an
innovative advancement in artificial insemination, designed to
enhance fertilization by precisely delivering sperm into the
fallopian tube, the natural site of conception. It is intended to
be a first-line therapeutic choice for infertile women, men, and
couples seeking pregnancy through insemination, offering a safe,
accessible, and cost-effective approach. FemaSeed is a
revolutionary device that allows for the expansion of practice
services by enabling healthcare professionals with a more
affordable and safer alternative to assisted reproductive methods,
such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm
injection (ICSI). FemaSeed received U.S. FDA clearance (September
2023) and regulatory approval in Canada (April 2023). At the end of
the fourth quarter of 2023, Femasys concluded a prospective,
multi-center, unblinded pivotal clinical trial (NCT0468847) for
those seeking intratubal insemination with FemaSeed. Adverse events
were consistent with intrauterine insemination (IUI). Efficacy
analysis focused on male factor infertility (1 million to 20
million total motile sperm count (TMSC)). In this population,
pregnancy rate was 24% by subject (n=42) and 16% by cycle (n=62)
after FemaSeed. In contrast, the historical control described a
6.7% pregnancy rate by cycle for intrauterine insemination (IUI)
with male factor (greater than 1 million TMSC).1 This topline
data provides strong support for FemaSeed’s value as the commercial
team begins the market launch. Femasys successfully completed the
first commercial procedure using its innovative FemaSeed intratubal
insemination device in March 2024. Learn more
