Is it at last about to 'Rise' to the occasion ? (PLE)

Well after all the earlier promises, now slightly overdue and the SMA chart starting to indicate a reversal of fortune I think you might be wise to buy some. Or if you hold some, top up as I've been doing lately.

For those not familiar with this stock check on previous news over the last year or so re 'promises'.

Plethora Solutions - Clinical Update
RNS Number:9118Q
Plethora Solutions Holdings PLC
08 February 2007


PLETHORA SOLUTIONS HOLDINGS PLC

Clinical Programme Extension - Plethora initiates parallel study for PSD597 as
analgesic therapy in urogynaecological procedures.

Plethora Solutions Holdings PLC ('Plethora', AIM : PLE), the specialist
developer of products for the treatment and management of urological disorders,
announces the initiation of a new clinical programme in an additional clinical
indication for PSD597, a novel therapy under development for the treatment of
interstitial cystitis and painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS).

Following positive feedback from the clinical centres involved in its existing
IC study, Plethora has, in parallel, initiated a second study to demonstrate
efficacy of the product as an analgesic therapy in urogynaecological procedures
such as cystoscopy and bladder biopsy. These procedures are often performed
currently in the absence of any analgesic agent. As a result of its fast onset
of action, PSD597 may bring immediate pain relief to these patients during this
short procedure. It has been estimated that at least 62,000 Americans undergo a
bladder biopsy each year to confirm the presence of bladder cancer, while over
150,000 women undergo hydrodistension procedures for IC/PBS. Recruitment is
already under way in five centres in this second PSD597 study, which is
scheduled to report in the first half of 2007.

PSD597 is currently undergoing a Phase II clinical study in North America to
demonstrate its efficacy in the treatment of interstitial cystitis; a chronic
syndrome characterised by bladder pain and increased urinary frequency and
urgency. A self-reported survey of American households indicated that almost 1%
of women had received a diagnosis of IC/PBS suggesting that there are at least
900,000 female sufferers in the USA alone. Current treatments for IC/PBS are
limited in their effectiveness. The objective of the ongoing clinical programme
is to provide additional confirmation of the findings from two pilot studies in
which PSD597 was shown to provide immediate, effective and long-acting symptom
relief in these major, poorly-controlled, debilitating conditions. Recruitment
in this current Phase II study is on track to report results in the first half
of the year.

Professor Alvaro Morales of Queens University, Ontario, Canada commented:
'Based on the degree of benefit and duration of clinical effect emerging in the
current IC study together with the results of the previous two previous studies,
PSD 597 could be of considerable benefit to patients suffering not only from
chronic IC and bladder pain but also in this second area of un-met clinical
need'.

Dr Steven Powell, Plethora CEO, concluded:
'Existing, published clinical data for the efficacy of PSD597 in the treatment
of IC is promising and we have already received a strong level of interest in
this product from potential partners. The development path for the new,
additional indication is short as the product would be used in an acute setting
with no long term safety issues. We may therefore be in a position to consider
retaining marketing rights to the second indication whilst continuing partnering
discussions around the primary, IC/PBS indication'.

Plethora seems to be good at finding secondary applications for its products. The new application for PSD597 ought to be a winner in market terms, IMO, as long as the drug itself is proved safe and effective.

It would be nice to hear news of a deal on the PE treatment, though!!

More progress (at last)

Plethora Solutions Holdings PLC ('Plethora', AIM : PLE), the specialist
developer of products for the treatment and management of urological disorders,
has announced that it has filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application
with the FDA to initiate the final phase of clinical development of PSD502, a
product for the treatment of premature ejaculation. This follows positive
outcomes from meetings with regulatory authorities in both the USA (FDA) and
Europe (MHRA) which have defined the clinical development programme required to
take this project to marketing authorisation.

As announced previously, Plethora is in the advanced stage of partnering
discussions for PSD502. Having reviewed the PSD502 development plans with
potential development and marketing partners, Plethora has now completed its
filing with the FDA ahead of moving the product into Phase III once partnering
agreements have been concluded.

This is another key step towards the commercialisation of PSD502 and follows the
recent conclusion of a manufacturing and supply agreement between the company
and Inyx Inc of New York, USA. Under the terms of this agreement, Plethora has
secured supply of PSD502 both for the Phase III study and any subsequent
potential commercial requirements.

PSD502 is a proprietary formulation of two marketed drugs, lidocaine and
prilocaine, dispensed by a metered dose aerosol developed for the treatment of
premature ejaculation, a disorder affecting up to 30% of men in Europe and the
USA and for which there is no approved treatment. The product is applied locally
when needed (often referred to as 'on demand' therapy) and is effective within
five minutes. Other key advantages of the product are a minimal risk of safety
issues, minimal partner transfer eliminating the need to use a condom and the
potential for the dose to be self titrated or adjusted under physician
direction. The product was shown to increase ejaculation latency time
substantially when compared with placebo in a multi-centre Phase II study. This
data has been published recently in BJU International (Dinsmore W et al 2007
BJU int 99: 369-35)

The programme to secure product registration in the USA and Europe will involve
less than 600 patients and could be completed within 15 months. This residual
development programme reflects both the excellent efficacy data generated by
Plethora to date and the extensive historical clinical safety database available
on the components of PSD 502. The suitability of this development programme has
been confirmed via recent meetings with the FDA and the European authorities
(MHRA).

The design and structure of the Phase III study has also been discussed
extensively with potential marketing partners. The combined worldwide Phase III
programme will involve in the region of 20 European and 20 North American
centres and will be supported by Plethora and its future development marketing
partners.

Professor Culley Carson of the University of North Carolina and a past president
of the Sexual Medicine Society of North America (SMSNA) stated 'The fact the
regulatory authorities require relatively little additional safety data would
appear to vindicate Plethora's approach of using a product that does not result
in systemic exposure. Given the proposed track of the programme, welcome relief
for the many hundreds of thousands of PE sufferers is in sight at last.'

Steven Powell, Plethora CEO, concluded:

'We are pleased to be advancing PSD502 into the final phase of clinical
development for treatment of premature ejaculation. With the relatively short
development path to registration and the proximity to securing partnering
agreements these are exciting times for Plethora'.

Nav, well done for beating me to the post!

Good news - and about time we had an update, too!

With 20 centres in the US and another 20 in Europe, there is clearly quite a lot of work involved with the Phase III trial, so maybe that explains the delay.

Hope to see this rocket when the partnership deal is announced.

Plethora Solutions - Product Acquisitions

RNS Number:1753W
Plethora Solutions Holdings PLC
08 May 2007


PLETHORA SOLUTIONS HOLDINGS PLC


Timm Medical Acquires Marketing Rights to Two Additional Products.

Plethora Solutions Holdings PLC ('Plethora', AIM: PLE), a company specialising
in the development and marketing of products for the treatment and management of
urological disorders, today announces that its US subsidiary, Timm Medical
Technologies, Inc. ('Timm'), has acquired marketing rights to two new products;
the ActicufTM device for the management of light to moderate male urinary
incontinence and the Midstream Cleancatch(R) device for the collection of
midstream urine samples.

ActicufTM is a simple to apply, discrete and disposable device designed to help
prevent urine leakage in men suffering from urinary incontinence, a condition
affecting more than two million men in the USA. Timm has secured international
marketing rights to the product and has already achieved first sales of the
product in the USA. A large number of men are either transiently or permanently
afflicted with some degree of bladder leakage. In circumstances where treatment
is either ineffective or not available then ActicufTM may provide a highly
effective and safe alternative for the management of the condition.

Midstream Cleancatch(R) is a collection device, for the collection of midstream
urine samples in men and women. Midstream urine samples (MSU) are collected
routinely as part of the diagnosis and management of urological and other
disorders. It is estimated that there are over 70 million urine samples
collected every year in the UK alone. This novel device has been proven
clinically to reduce contamination rates and spillage and improve diagnosis. It
is designed to help standardise sample collection, make sampling easier and
cleaner for the patient and the health care worker. The product is already being
used in some parts of the UK's National Health Service and Timm will launch the
product through its US sales force and international distribution network in the
coming months.

Steven Powell, Plethora CEO, commented:

'The Timm operation has made substantial progress with the marketing of its
ErecAid(R) and Rigiscan(R) products for the treatment and management of erectile
dysfunction. We believe that the time is right to begin to implement the next
phase of our growth strategy for Timm which is to utilise its sales and
marketing capability to market a broader portfolio of urology products and, in
so doing, accelerate revenue growth'.

Plethora Enters Into Exclusive License Agreement with
Sciele to Market PSD502
for the Treatment of Premature Ejaculation

Sciele Pharma to Purchase $7 Million Equity Stake in Plethora

ATLANTA, LONDON (May 24, 2007) Sciele Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:SCRX) and Plethora
Solutions Holdings plc ('Plethora', AIM:PLE) announced today that they have
signed an exclusive license agreement for the marketing of PSD502 for premature
ejaculation (PE) in the United States together with an agreement for Sciele to
purchase a $7 million equity stake in Plethora. Plethora is developing
innovative products for women's health and male sexual dysfunction. Plethora has
products in clinical development for the treatment of premature ejaculation,
overactive bladder, stress urinary incontinence, interstitial cystitis and
gynecological pain.

Under the terms of the license agreement, Plethora will receive payments upon
achievement of regulatory and sales milestones, and royalty payments on product
sales. Plethora will have co-promotion rights for urologists in the United
States.

PE is the most common form of sexual dysfunction among men. PE is estimated to
affect approximately 25% to 30% of men of all ages (Laumann et al1999 JAMA
281537-44). According to the results of this survey, approximately 25 million
men between the ages of 18 and 59 in the U.S. experience PE.

PSD502 comprises a unique, proprietary, and rapidly absorbed formulation of two
well-established local anesthetics, lidocaine and prilocaine, dispensed in a
metered dose spray. Plethora has completed a phase II clinical trial using
PSD502, and Plethora is expected to begin a phase III study in the second half
of 2007.

Under the agreement to purchase a $7 million equity stake in Plethora, Sciele
has purchased 1,772,505 new Ordinary Shares in Plethora at 2.00 per share.

Patrick Fourteau, Chief Executive Officer of Sciele, said, 'We are pleased to
take an equity stake and enter into this collaboration with Plethora as they are
developing new products for Women's Health and sexual dysfunction. This
partnership will enable us to further expand our product pipeline and leverage
our sales force. We are enthusiastic about PSD502, which may provide a potential
PE treatment, addressing an unmet medical need for millions of men.'

Steven Powell, Chief Executive Officer of Plethora, said, 'We are delighted to
have Sciele as a licensing partner and welcome them as a shareholder. We look
forward to working with Sciele and to updating our shareholders on progress with
licensing PSD502 for premature ejaculation elsewhere in territories outside the
USA.'

Patience always pays off with good stocks!

soul traders - 24 May 2007 08:36 - 68 of 141

Hondaman, well done with the posts. I just hope that this will prove to be a good stock, as my patience has been a little bit tried over the past few months!

I wonder how big the PSD502 deal actually is . . . .

soul traders - 24 May 2007 08:38 - 69 of 141

However, it's definitely a good sign that Sciele paid 2 a share for its equity stake.

I think another good sign is that PLE is meeting with analysts once its results are published. Clearly the co thinks it can provoke a rerating.

hondaman - 24 May 2007 09:06 - 70 of 141

soul traders -don't forget the other PSD502 deals for woundpain and PE for other world areas have yet to come. Next week they will probably give actual figures to the deal. I like the deal because Plethoras other major products fit well into Sciele's organisational portfolio too -The OAB products are even massive.

David10B - 24 May 2007 10:17 - 71 of 141

And they have a good deal with MLR

hondaman - 24 May 2007 13:56 - 72 of 141

they have
signed an exclusive license agreement for the marketing of PSD502 for premature
ejaculation (PE) in the United States together with an agreement for Sciele to
purchase a $7 million equity stake in Plethora.

This is interesing because they state that they have signed an exclusive license agreement together with the stake -so that means the agreement terms will be announced I guess next week on 30th May ref royalty payments etc -just my conclusion!!!

soul traders - 24 May 2007 14:04 - 73 of 141

I have my doubts as to whether we'll learnt the terms of the deal. Why did PLE not announce them today?
