Prescribing The Future: How MangoRx Is Shaking Up Telemedicine With A Fresh Platform

Benzinga

By Anthony Termini, Benzinga Since Covid-19, telemedicine has been expanding significantly, with 44% of physicians using it at least weekly and 40% daily in the U.S. in 2023. The industry is seen by some as a new frontier for patient education and access to medicine and care. The DEA Opens The Digital Door To The Telemedicine Industry Before the pandemic, the primary way a patient would get a drug prescription was through an in-person visit with a doctor. The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) loosened those restrictions, allowing physicians to prescribe “controlled medications” over the phone and via video conference. That’s been good for companies in the direct-to-consumer telehealth industry. One of the players in this business is MangoRx or Mangoceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: MGRX), which develops a variety of men's health and wellness products and services. Working with Surescripts, which helps coordinate all the parties in the prescription process, MangoRx recently transitioned its telemedicine platform to a newly developed DEA-approved telemedicine operating system. The new system allows MangoRx’s third-party doctor network to prescribe and offer controlled substances. These include Prime Protocol by MangoRx, powered by Kyzatrex, an Oral Testosterone Replacement Therapy and other hormone replacement treatments. According to Jacob Cohen, CEO and co-founder of MangoRx, the company is dedicated to “revolutionizing patient care,” and the new system enhances patient management by “offering seamless doctor visits, prescription auto-refills, and overall health management.” MangoRx is joined in the telehealth space by companies like Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS), a San Francisco-based telehealth company; Maximus Tribe, a compound pharmaceuticals company that also offers coaching and is based in Santa Monica, California; and Nu Image Medical, a Tampa, Florida-based company that sells weight loss, hormone replacement, sexual health, and general wellness products. Cohen argues, however, that MangoRx is setting a new benchmark for excellence in telemedicine. The company believes that the steps it is taking create meaningful competitive advantages over other companies in the space. MangoRx’s Digital Leap Shortens Time To Market MangoRx, which currently offers therapy options for erectile dysfunction, hair growth and hormone replacement, intends to use the new operating system to roll out new weight loss treatment options. These include an oral dissolvable GLP-1 tablet that includes Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, the ingredients in some of the most popular prescription weight loss medicines. The company’s new operating system helps it accelerate the ability to introduce other new product lines, the first of which is the dissolvable tablet they have branded as Slim and Trim. This brand will help MangoRx capitalize on the significant demand for GLP-1 weight loss treatments for both men and women. MangoRx expects these products will be available to patients before the end of the third quarter and that this new addition will help it to substantially grow revenue moving forward. The company says its new operating system will enable it to respond quickly to market needs and marks an important milestone for MangoRx, representing a significant advancement in its capabilities. Amanda Hammer, COO of MangoRx, says that the company has a “commitment to regulatory compliance and innovation” and that the new operating system’s cutting-edge technology puts it in a position to continue “revolutionizing patient care in the telemedicine industry.” MangoRx notes that the system is fully HIPAA-compliant to ensure that all operations adhere to stringent regulatory standards. The new system includes robust security measures to protect patient data and maintain the highest levels of confidentiality. The system upgrade accompanies a redesigned website with an improved user interface to optimize the customer experience and enhance workflows. The combination creates real-time data tracking and seamless integration that enhance operational efficiency and improve patient engagement. Featured photo by LinkedIn Sales Solutions on Unsplash.

Nuvectis Pharma Rises in Pre-Market Following FDA Orphan Drug Designation for NXP800, Fueling Optimism Ahead of Key Clinical Data

Global Markets News

Nuvectis Pharma (NASDAQ: NVCT) has achieved a significant milestone with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granting Orphan Drug Designation for its lead candidate, NXP800. This designation, specifically for the treatment of ARID1a-deficient ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers, marks a critical step forward in Nuvectis’s mission to address unmet needs in oncology. Orphan Drug Designation: A Strategic Advantage The FDA’s Orphan Drug Designation is awarded to drugs that show promise in treating rare diseases affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. For Nuvectis, this designation not only validates the potential of NXP800 but also provides several strategic benefits. These include tax credits for clinical trial costs, exemption from certain FDA fees, and potentially seven years of market exclusivity upon approval. NXP800 targets ARID1a-deficient cancers, a subset of ovarian cancers that present significant treatment challenges. The Orphan Drug Designation underscores the importance of this candidate in potentially offering a new, more effective treatment option for patients with this specific genetic mutation. Background and Market Impact This latest achievement builds on Nuvectis Pharma’s earlier successes. Earlier this year, the FDA granted Fast Track Designation to NXP800 for its development in platinum-resistant, ARID1a-mutated ovarian cancer. The Fast Track status, combined with the Orphan Drug Designation, highlights the urgent need for innovative treatments in this space and positions NXP800 as a potential game-changer in oncology. Financial analysts have taken note of Nuvectis’s progress. H.C. Wainwright recently reiterated its buy rating for Nuvectis, setting a price target of $21. This optimistic outlook reflects the market’s confidence in the company’s strategic direction, particularly as it prepares to release key clinical data later this year. Anticipation for Upcoming Results The next few months are expected to be pivotal for Nuvectis Pharma. The company is poised to share updates from its ongoing Phase 1b clinical trial of NXP800, which targets patients with platinum-resistant, ARID1a-mutated ovarian cancer. This trial is being closely watched, as positive results could significantly advance the development of NXP800, bringing it closer to pivotal trials and eventual regulatory approval. Additionally, Nuvectis is also conducting a Phase 1a dose escalation study for NXP900, its second key candidate, which targets YES1/SRC-driven tumors. Updates from this study are expected to provide further insights into the safety and potential efficacy of NXP900. ### Nuvvectis' Full announcment, titled " Nuvectis Pharma Announces Orphan Drug Designation Granted by the FDA for NXP800 for the Treatment of ARID1a-deficient Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, and Primary Peritoneal Cancers" was published on August 29th, 2024. ### This article is for informational purposes only and is not intended to serve as financial, investment or any form of professional advice, recommendation or endorsement.
