About the INNV-RPS1001-M Use Survey Trial

The clinical use survey study was developed to assess the effect of Sensum+® on penile sensitivity after 3 weeks of twice daily treatment

  • Country: Mexico
  • Number of patients: 14 patients (Age: 23-69)
  • Duration: 5 weeks including 1 week of baseline survey and 1 week post treatment period (exit survey)
  • Application: To the head and shaft of the penis twice a day for 3 weeks
  • Each person received three dispensers of Sensum+® and was asked to apply 1-2 pump (~ 150 mg-300mg cream) to the head and shaft of the penis twice daily and abstain from all sexual activities during the first week of treatment.
  • Each survey included questions on previous history of reduced penile sensitivity (RPS), and the effect of Sensum+® on:
    • Penile sensitivity
    • Masturbation Ejaculatory Latency Time (MELT)
    • Intra-Vaginal Ejaculatory Latency Time (IELT)
    • Sex life satisfaction and partner's satisfaction

Pursuant to these clinical trials, the data indicate that Sensum+® was very well tolerated with no serious adverse events reported.

Sensum+® is a proprietary topical formulation specifically designed to increase penile sensitivity.

"We are thrilled about these results from the Sensum+® human use survey trial which we believe confirms that activity of the product and increase its commercial potential," said Dr. Bassam Damaj, President & CEO of the Innovus Pharma. "Reduced penile sensitivity is a major concern to men and it is estimated to affect millions around the world," continued Dr. Damaj.

About Sensum+® and Reduced Penile Sensitivity (RPS)

Sensum+® is a patented blend of essential oils and natural botanicals including rose oil, sweet almond oil, cinnamon bark oil, and other extracts. The main ingredient of Sensum+® (cinnamon oil) works by activating the Transient Receptor Potential A1 (TRPA-1) channels responsible for the heat and cold sensation of the skin and results in an increase of sensation that current users welcome and appreciate. The safety and efficacy of Sensum+® was evaluated in 2 post marketing survey studies in circumcised and non-circumcised men. A total of 382 men used Sensum+® twice daily for fourteen consecutive days followed by once daily for 8 weeks and as needed thereafter.

Reduced penile sensitivity is a major problem associated with many diseases such as hernia surgery, the use of anti-depressants, circumcision, multiple sclerosis and others. There are no approved products to treat RPS.
