About BioZen
BioZen® is a UK-based biotech company focussed on developing treatments to transform the lives of individuals with endocrine disorders. We seek to address gynecomastia first, a disorder that affects half of adolescent boys, with a median duration of two years and for which there is no currently approved medical treatment. Critically, it causes anxiety, depression, disordered eating, body dissatisfaction and reduced self-esteem, regardless of disorder severity.
Gynecomastia is also a common side-effect of anti-androgen therapies used to treat prostate cancer, that affects 1-in-8 men globally. Corrective surgery is the only approved intervention and is the single largest cosmetic procedure undertaken by men in the US and globally. BioZen's solution is a novel combination of two therapeutics that cooperate to target different points along the biological pathway. As both components are well-characterised pre-clinically, we expect to proceed promptly to phase 1b/2a clinical trial. For more information, please visit www.biozen.uk.
