About The Jenex Corporation
Headquartered in Burlington, Ontario, the Corporation has
developed and patented a thermal therapeutic device for the
prevention of cold sores. Patents in fifteen countries, including
the United States, Canada, Australia, and the E.E.C protect
the technology. Approval from regulatory, Therapeutic Products
Programme (TPP), in Canada has been received to market their
thermal therapy device, over-the-counter (OTC) with the claim
"For prevention and relief of the symptoms of herpes
labialis (cold sores), such as blistering, lesions, inflammation,
and discomfort. Also helps alleviate the embarrassment that
is typically associated with herpes labialis (cold sore) outbreaks".
A medical device number has been issued by TPP, in accordance
with Medical Device Regulations. Jenex is the first company
to receive regulatory approval from a significant regulatory
body to make the prevention claim for cold sores.
The Corporation is currently seeking approval from FDA to
make a similar marketing claim in the United States. Management
of the Corporation expects a response from the FDA in the
2nd quarter of 2002. Regulatory approvals are being pursued
in all European countries and Australia.
Jenex is now seeking a strategic corporate partner to license
and commercialize their thermal therapy technology. Several
Multi-National Companies have signed Confidentiality Agreements
and are in various stages of due diligence.
The HSV-1 virus that causes cold sores, is endemic in North
America, and is estimated to affect 80% of the population.
As the only product clinically proven to prevent the outbreak
of cold sores, the Corporation's thermal therapy product has
the potential to dominate a large and underdeveloped market.
Prevention is the Solution
