About Sophiris
Sophiris Bio Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company developing topsalysin (PRX302) for the treatment of patients with
urological diseases. Topsalysin is in Phase 2 clinical development for the focal treatment of localized prostate cancer as well
as Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Topsalysin is a highly potent ablative agent that is selective and targeted in that it is only activated by enzymatically active
PSA which is found in high concentrations in the transition zone of the prostate and in and around prostate tumor cells.
More than 400 patients have received treatment with topsalysin, which continues to appear to be safe and well tolerated. For more
