Cligosiban (INN Tooltip International Nonproprietary Name; developmental code names IX-01 and PF-3274167) is an oxytocin receptor antagonist which is or was under development for the treatment of premature ejaculation. [1] [4] [5] [2] [3] It is taken orally. [1] [2] The drug is a small molecule or non-peptide and is a potent, highly selective, and brain-penetrant antagonist of the oxytocin receptor. [5] [2] Cligosiban was originated by Pfizer and is under development by Ixchelsis and Chorus Group. [1] [4] As of December 2019, it is in phase 2 clinical trials. [1] However, another source lists the drug's development as having been discontinued. [4] The drug failed to show effectiveness in a phase 2b trial. [6]
