Positive Study Results

Futura Medical PLC 09 August 2007 For immediate release 9 August 2007 Futura Medical Plc ('Futura' or 'the Company') Successful results from CSD500 condom study Futura Medical plc (AIM: FUM), the pharmaceutical group that develops innovative products for the consumer healthcare market, is pleased to announce positive results from a user study of CSD500, Futura's novel product to help men maintain a full erection when wearing a condom. The study, equally funded by Futura and its marketing and distribution partner SSL International plc (SSL), successfully met its primary endpoint of demonstrating a firmer erection through the use of the CSD500 condom compared with a standard condom. This result was highly statistically significant. The study's secondary endpoints of increased penile size and a longer-lasting sexual experience also revealed positive, statistically significant data. These results from the double-blind, randomised, cross-over study will complete the regulatory package for CSD500. The study included 108 healthy couples, the men of which had at some time experienced a loss or partial loss of erection whilst using standard condoms. A good safety and tolerability profile was reported for CSD500. James Barder, Futura's Chief Executive, said: 'I am delighted by these highly statistically significant study results, which give us confidence that the CSD500 product will gain marketing approval and, once launched, be a commercial success. We look forward to continuing to work closely with SSL.'
