Studies Explore How New Treatments, Metabolic Health and Weight Loss Shape Sexual Wellness for Men and Women
By GlobeNewswire Published on April 28, 2025, 00:08 IST
LAS VEGAS, April 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Exciting new research unveiled at the American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Meeting in Las Vegas highlights the evolving landscape of sexual health and wellness for both men and women.
This year's featured abstracts examine the effectiveness of novel combination therapies for premature ejaculation, the potential of erectile function screening to identify cardiovascular risks in underserved men and the impact of type 2 diabetes on female sexual function. Additional findings reveal how weight loss through bariatric surgery can improve the pelvic floor and sexual health and explore the complex relationship between GLP-1 receptor agonists and sexual wellbeing. Together, these studies underscore the powerful connections between metabolic health, innovative treatments and sexual wellness.
Researchers will present their study findings covering important updates on sexual health from April 26 to 29. Justin Dubin, MD, a men's health specialist at Memorial Healthcare System, posed in-depth questions to the abstract authors, providing key insights into their research.
'I am very excited to be working with the sexual health session of the press program,' Dr. Dubin said. 'These fantastic studies highlight an idea that we need to continue to push to other providers and patients themselves – that sexual health is health. Sexual problems may be a warning sign of pending health issues or a direct result of current health issues like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity or mental health. Only by educating our patients can we motivate them to preserve their sexual health by taking better care of themselves overall.'
The following abstracts are spotlighted in the AUA Press Program:

RenaissThera Achieves Discovery Milestone in Its Oral Obesity Drug Program
BENGALURU, India, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RenaissThera Private Limited ('RenaissThera'), a Bengaluru-based biotechnology company, announced a major milestone in its obesity drug discovery program targeting the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR). GIPR, an incretin receptor, is a validated target for peptide-based parenteral therapies where both stimulation and inhibition has shown efficacy in treating obesity and its co-morbidities. RenaissThera is developing novel, oral small molecules, both agonists and antagonists, as a more affordable and convenient alternative aiming to expand access for underserved populations in the global obesity market projected to reach USD 38 billion by 2032. Oral small molecules are more economical to manufacture and distribute than peptide-based obesity drugs. These molecules were designed and screened using proprietary AI and ML based platforms, followed by demonstrating in-vitro activity in cell lines and in-vivo activity to impact GIPR in mice to yield 'Hits'. RenaissThera now is advancing these Hits to the Lead optimization program to select candidates for pre-IND studies. RenaissThera is filing 'Composition of Matter' and utility patents for these oral novel small molecule GIPR modulators and continues to expand its innovation portfolio targeting GIP, GLP-1, and apelin receptors in obesity and diabetes. Its AI-powered Innovation Platform, integrating GenAI and machine learning tools, is accelerating the design and optimization of novel small molecules. 'We are grateful to our investors and collaborators for supporting us in reaching this milestone. Our team is focused on pushing candidates toward IND-readiness next year and we are in active discussions with potential pharma partners and investors interested in our obesity program,' said Meena, MD, CEO of RenaissThera. RenaissThera's progress was enabled through its collaboration with VedTechBio Research Private Limited which enabled access to its Agentic AI platform RxAgentAI and discovery expertise. 'We are very pleased with the outcomes of our collaboration with RenaissThera. This milestone further validates our platform and capabilities across key therapeutic areas including obesity, Type 2 diabetes, oncology, and inflammation,' said VedTechBio's Managing Director Sudhir Nagarajan. About RenaissThera RenaissThera is a Bengaluru-based biotech company developing affordable, AI-powered novel small-molecule therapies for high-unmet-need diseases like obesity and diabetes. Its goal is to innovate for underserved populations and expand global access to novel therapies. It leverages India's CRO ecosystem for early-stage R&D to deliver globally relevant innovation.
