VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“InMed” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: INM), a leader in the pharmaceutical research, development and manufacturing of rare cannabinoids and cannabinoid analogs, today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, ended September 30, 2022.
The Company’s condensed financial statements and related MD&A for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, ended September 30, 2022 will be available at www.inmedpharma.com and at www.sedar.com.
Eric A. Adams, InMed CEO, states, “In the first quarter of our new fiscal year, we continue to strengthen our pharmaceutical pipeline in dermatology, ocular and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as continue to screen our library of proprietary analogs for additional therapeutic candidates. Throughout the remainder of the year and into calendar year 2023, we have many milestones to look forward to in our clinical and preclinical programs, including the completion of our Phase 2 clinical trial in epidermolysis bullosa as well as advancing our glaucoma program towards human trials.”
Business Update
Pharmaceutical Development Programs
INM-755 for the treatment of Epidermolysis Bullosa (“EB”)
Enrollment and patient treatment in the Company’s Phase 2 clinical trial, 755-201-EB, has continued through the first quarter and is expected to complete during calendar year 2022.
InMed’s Phase 2 clinical trial now has all 11 clinical trial sites fully activated to screen and enroll patients. The clinical trial is taking place in seven countries (Austria, Germany, Greece, France, Italy, Israel and Spain).
InMed is evaluating the safety of INM-755 (cannabinol) cream and its preliminary efficacy in treating symptoms and wound healing in persons with EB over a 28-day treatment period. This study marks the first time cannabinol (“CBN”) has advanced to a Phase 2 clinical trial to be investigated as a therapeutic option to treat a disease.
INM-088 for the treatment of glaucoma
The Company continues to do necessary preclinical work including toxicology and GLP studies in advance of human clinical trials.
Earlier in the year, the Company completed a pre-Investigational New Drug (“pIND”) application discussion with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regarding manufacturing, preclinical studies and early clinical development plans for INM-088, a CBN formulation in development for glaucoma. The Company gained alignment with FDA on the design of the initial Phase 1-2 clinical trial to gather preliminary data on the safety and efficacy of INM-088 treatment.
InMed data suggest CBN is the cannabinoid of choice for neuroprotection and lowering intraocular pressure in glaucoma and potentially other ocular diseases.
New cannabinoid analogs for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases
The Company continues to advance discovery work to identify an appropriate compound for a preclinical development program for treating neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease.
The Company remains focused on the generation of proprietary cannabinoid analogs to support its pharmaceutical drug development programs. As these novel cannabinoid analogs are patentable, they protect the long-term research investment and commercial opportunities.
BayMedica commercial activities
BayMedica commercial activities remain steady as the Company continues to work through existing inventories as a B2B supplier of rare cannabinoids to the health and wellness market. The Company continues to explore potential opportunities for structured supply agreements, commercial collaborations and review other strategic alternatives for the commercial aspect of its business.
