THE WOODLANDS, Texas, April 30, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Repros Therapeutics Inc.(r) (Nasdaq:RPRX) today announced its Proellex-V, or vaginally delivered Proellex, for the treatment of uterine fibroids, has passed an important first hurdle on the road to registration. Repros is ultimately developing Proellex-V, which is currently in Phase 2 development, for significant fibroid size reduction and symptom elimination, with the goal of avoiding surgery.

There is no approved chronic drug therapy for treatment of this debilitating condition.
