FM71 was a multi-centre, randomised, open-label, home use, parallel group, clinical investigation of topically-applied MED3000 gel compared to a well-known US prescription oral medication for the treatment of ED over a 24-week period. The trial design and clinical endpoints were agreed with the FDA as a confirmatory clinical trial for the US regulatory dossier for MED3000.
FM71 investigated the efficacy and safety of MED3000 gel in 96 male patients clinically diagnosed with a mix of mild, moderate and severe ED against baseline (pre-treatment). Subjects were recruited from the United States (African Americans), Poland, Georgia and Bulgaria and included men who had organic and psychological ED, or a combination of both.
Patients enrolled into the FM71 study for the initial four weeks had to attempt intercourse on at least four occasions in order to establish the severity of their ED known as the ‘baseline’, after which MED3000 was used per trial protocol for 24 weeks.

In August 2022, Futura announced positive results from the confirmatory Phase 3 clinical study, “FM71” for MED3000, for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
· FDA agreed co-primary endpoints met at 24 weeks, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in erectile function compared to baseline, as well as achieving a clinically important improvement in erectile function at 24 weeks
· Secondary endpoint met demonstrating a 10-minute onset of action, which was demonstrably faster than the well-known prescription oral medication used in the study
· Exploratory endpoints demonstrated MED3000 achieved clinically important improvements in erectile function and was clinically effective in mild, moderate and severe ED sufferers
· Safety and tolerability data were also highly positive, with no serious adverse events recorded in any patients on MED3000 and overall, with a highly favourable side-effect profile
MED3000 presents an effective clinically proven treatment for erectile dysfunction (“ED”) with a rapid speed of onset and a favourable benefit versus risk profile ideally suited for Over the Counter (“OTC”) classification1
In June 2023, MED3000 was granted marketing authorisation by the US FDA for over the counter sale.
