Repros Therapeutics Inc. (RPRX - Free Report) is expected to report second quarter 2016 results on Aug 8. Let’s see how things are shaping up for this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock.

Focus Remains on Pipeline

With Repros being a development-stage company, investors will remain focused on the company’s pipeline and cash burn. The company is focused on the development of treatments for hormonal and reproductive system disorders, and is currently working on filing for EU approval of enclomiphene for the treatment of patients with secondary hypogonadism in the fall of 2016. Repros will seek EU approval for enclomiphene through a central filing and expects a response regarding the candidate’s approval status by the fall of 2017.

Meanwhile, Repros is conducting a placebo-controlled, double-blind, proof-of-concept phase II study (ZA-205) on enclomiphene in obese secondary hypogonadal men to assess its impact on metabolic parameters and quality of life under a routine diet and exercise. Six-month data from this study are expected in the fall of 2016.

Apart from enclomiphene, the company has Proellex in its pipeline. It is being developed for the treatment of uterine fibroids and endometriosis.
