Lomexin (FENTICONAZOLE)

Phase 2 active Small molecule ✓ Verified May 2026

Lomexin (generic name: FENTICONAZOLE) is a fenticonazole drug. It is currently in Phase 2 development for Candidal vulvovaginitis.

Lomexin works by inhibiting the growth of fungi through interference with the synthesis of ergosterol, a critical component of fungal cell membranes.

Lomexin is a small molecule medication used to treat various vaginal infections, including Trichomonal Vaginitis, Bacterial Vaginosis, Candidal Vulvovaginitis, and Mixed Vaginal Infections. It is available in different formulations, including EVEGYN A, EVEGYN B, and Gynomax XL Vaginal Ovule, which have been evaluated in clinical studies for efficacy and safety.

If approved by FDA: likely 2031–2034
Steps remaining: Phase 3 → NDA/BLA submission
Confidence: Medium
Why this estimate
  • Baseline phase 2 → approval rate +15.3pp
    Industry-wide phase 2 drugs reach approval ~15.3% of the time (BIO/Informa 2023 industry benchmark across all therapeutic areas).
  • Anti-infectives pathway favourability +2.0pp
    Microbiological endpoints + non-inferiority designs raise approval rates above baseline.

Mechanism of action

Imagine your body's cells have a strong, protective wall. Fungi have a similar wall, but Lomexin blocks the production of a key building block, making it harder for the fungus to grow and multiply.
