(NASDAQ: DARE), a leader in women\u2019s health innovation, today announced positive topline results from the DARE-BVFREE Phase 3 randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating DARE-BV1 in 307 women diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis, a serious condition estimated to affect approximately 21 million women in the United States. DARE-BV1 is an investigational thermosetting bioadhesive hydrogel containing clindamycin phosphate 2% designed as a convenient, one-time vaginally-administered treatment for bacterial vaginosis. The trial met its primary endpoint demonstrating that a single administration of DARE-BV1 was superior to placebo as a primary therapeutic intervention for women diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on these topline results, DARE-BV1 delivered clinical cure rate values greater than those of currently marketed FDA-approved products for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis. This successful Phase 3 clinical trial marks another important achievement for Dar\u00e9. We began 2020 with the announcement of a commercial partnership for Ovaprene\u00ae with Bayer, marketer of one of the most successful contraceptive products in women\u2019s health, and we\u2019re concluding the year with another exciting milestone, the successful completion of our Phase 3 clinical trial of DARE-BV1 to support an NDA for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis,\u201d said Sabrina Martucci Johnson, President and CEO of Dar\u00e9 Bioscience. \u201cWe believe there is a large unmet need for a more efficacious and convenient, single-dose vaginally-administered product to treat bacterial vaginosis, and we believe DARE-BV1 could become a new front-line treatment option. DARE-BV1 received Fast Track designation from the FDA earlier this year and, based on the topline results of this trial, we plan to file our NDA in the first half of 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Topline Results<\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong> of the Phase 3 Randomized Clinical Trial<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>DARE-BVFREE randomized 307 women at 32 centers across the United States in a 2:1 ratio to receive a single vaginal dose of DARE-BV1 (N=204) or a single vaginal dose of placebo gel (N=103) to be applied intravaginally within one day of randomization.<\/p>\n<p>The primary endpoint for the study was clinical cure of bacterial vaginosis determined at the final study visit which occurred 21 to 30 days after study drug administration, also referred to as the test-of-cure (TOC) visit, in the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) study population (N=180). In accordance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance, the mITT population excludes subjects from the intent-to-treat (ITT) population (N=307) who subsequently demonstrated a positive test result for other concomitant vaginal or cervical infections at baseline.<\/p>\n<p>A single vaginal dose of DARE-BV1 proved statistically superior to placebo at p-value &lt; 0.001 at the TOC visit that occurred 21 to 30 days after study drug administration (primary efficacy endpoint) and also at the assessment visit that occurred 7 to 14 days after study drug administration. DARE-BV1 also demonstrated statistically significant efficacy in all four additional pre-specified secondary efficacy assessments. The clinical cure endpoint results are shown in the following table:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Summary of Clinical Cure Results (mITT Population), p-value &lt; 0.001:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" style=\"border-top: solid black 1pt;border-right: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;border-collapse: collapse;width:40%;border-collapse:collapse\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"max-width:76%;width:76%;min-width:76%;border-top: solid black 1pt;border-right: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;vertical-align: top\">\u00a0<\/td>\n<td style=\"max-width:12%;width:12%;min-width:12%;border-top: solid black 1pt;border-right: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;text-align: center;vertical-align: middle;vertical-align: top\">DARE-BV1<br \/>(N = 121) <\/td>\n<td style=\"max-width:12%;width:12%;min-width:12%;border-top: solid black 1pt;border-right: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;text-align: center;vertical-align: middle;vertical-align: top\">Placebo<br \/>(N = 59)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-top: solid black 1pt;border-right: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;vertical-align: top\">Clinical Cure at Day 7-14 visit<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-top: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;padding-right: 0;text-align: center;vertical-align: middle;vertical-align: top\">76.0%<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-top: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;padding-right: 0;text-align: center;vertical-align: middle;vertical-align: top\">23.7%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-top: solid black 1pt;border-right: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;vertical-align: top\">Clinical Cure at Day 21-30 visit (primary endpoint)<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-top: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;padding-right: 0;text-align: center;vertical-align: middle;vertical-align: top\">70.2%<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-top: solid black 1pt;border-bottom: solid black 1pt;border-left: solid black 1pt;padding-right: 0;text-align: center;vertical-align: middle;vertical-align: top\">35.6%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>The clinical cure rate at the Day 21-30 visit for the ITT population was similar to that for the mITT population (70.1% for the DARE-BV1 group (N=204) and 36.9% for the placebo group (N=103), p-value &lt; 0.001), demonstrating effectiveness of DARE-BV1 in treating bacterial vaginosis even when other concomitant vaginal or cervical infections were present.<\/p>\n<p>The DARE-BVFREE study\u2019s two treatment arms were well balanced in terms of age, race, ethnicity, bacterial vaginosis history, and body mass index (BMI). The ITT population comprised primarily patients aged 15 to 51 years, with a mean age of 34.8 (standard deviation 8.84) and median age of 35. Over 53% of the ITT population qualified as obese (BMI \u226530.0), with a mean BMI of 31.50 (standard deviation 8.499). In the ITT population, 56.0% of women identified as Black or African American, 41% identified as white and 25.5% identified as of Hispanic or Latino origin (compared to 74.5% as not of Hispanic or Latino origin). In addition, more than 75% of the women in the ITT population reported one or more episodes of bacterial vaginosis diagnosed in the 12 months before they were randomized into the study (76.9% in the DARE-BV1 group and 73.8% in the placebo group).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>DARE-BV1 was well-tolerated in the study. There were no early discontinuations due to adverse events (AEs), and the only serious AE occurred in a woman in the placebo group. In the DARE-BV1 group, 15.3% of patients reported AEs that were considered to be possibly, probably or definitely related to study treatment compared to 9.7% of patients in the placebo group.<\/p>\n<p>Only two AEs were reported by more than 2% of patients in the DARE-BV1 arm and at a rate higher than in patients in the placebo arm \u2013 vulvovaginal candidiasis, commonly called a vaginal yeast infection (17.2% in the DARE-BV1 group and 3.9% in the placebo group), and vulvovaginal pruritus, commonly referred to as vaginal itching (4.4% in the DARE-BV1 group and 1.9% in the placebo group). Over half of the vaginal yeast infections reported in the DARE-BV1 group and exactly half of those reported in the placebo group occurred in patients who exhibited a positive yeast culture prior to dosing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We believe these data demonstrate that DARE-BV1 is significantly effective in a representative patient population, including a large proportion of patients who have been previously treated for this infection. Today, about half of the patients treated for bacterial vaginosis experience recurrence of the infection within 12 months of their treatment, and currently marketed FDA-approved products for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis have clinical cure rates in the mid-30% to the high-60% range,\u201d said David Friend, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of Dar\u00e9 Bioscience. \u201cIf approved, we believe DARE-BV1 will be an important new and convenient one-time vaginally-administered treatment option with the potential to improve clinical outcomes and overall quality of life for women suffering with bacterial vaginosis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Based on the topline results from the study, Dar\u00e9 expects to have a pre-NDA meeting with the FDA in early 2021 and to submit an NDA during the first half of 2021. DARE-BV1 received both Fast Track and Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) designations from the FDA for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis. Given these designations, the NDA could be eligible for priority review, which, if granted, could allow for a 2021 PDUFA date, and, assuming approval, an early 2022 commercial launch in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About the <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>Phase 3 <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>Study<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>DARE-BVFREE was a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of a single administration of DARE-BV1 (clindamycin phosphate vaginal gel, 2%) compared to a single administration of placebo vaginal gel (HEC Universal Placebo Gel) for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis. Patients were evaluated during three clinic visits: Day 1 (screening and randomization visit), Day 7-14 (assessment visit), and Day 21-30 (TOC visit). Clinical cure was defined as resolution of the specific clinical signs that comprise the Amsel criteria; specifically, resolution of abnormal vaginal discharge associated with bacterial vaginosis, clue cells less than 20% of total epithelial cells on microscopy, and a negative 10% KOH \u201cwhiff\u201d test. The total study duration was approximately one month for each individual patient.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Bacterial Vaginosis<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause of vaginitis worldwide and is estimated to affect approximately 21 million women in the United States.<sup>1<\/sup><sup>,2<\/sup> Prevalence of bacterial vaginosis among non-white women in the U.S. is higher than among white women (African American 51%, Mexican American 32%, white 23%).<sup>2<\/sup> While there are several therapeutic options for women in the U.S. diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis, currently approved options have relatively insufficient clinical cure rates, require sequential daily administrations or can be otherwise inconvenient for women to use. It is estimated that as many as 50% of women treated for bacterial vaginosis will experience a recurrence within 12 months of their treatment.<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type:decimal\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:7.5pt\">Clinical Infectious Diseases 2007; 44:213\u20139; <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1086\/509577\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1086\/509577<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:7.5pt\">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) Statistics; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/std\/bv\/stats.htm\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/std\/bv\/stats.htm<\/a>.
