MyMD Pharmaceuticals Receives Grant From European Patent Office for Supera-CBD™ Compound
MyMD Pharmaceuticals announced the European Patent Office's decision to grant patent claims for its Supera-CBD™ compound, recognizing it as a new molecular entity. This development demonstrates Supera-CBD™'s potential in treating pain and anxiety by selectively binding to the CB2 receptor. The ongoing clinical trial for MYMD-1, an oral TNF-α inhibitor aimed at reducing chronic inflammation, adds to MyMD's advancements in drug development, with positive progress noted in the trial's dosing. The company’s patent portfolio continues to expand globally.
- European Patent Office granted patent for Supera-CBD™ as a new molecular entity.
- Supera-CBD™ shows promise for treating pain and anxiety.
- Ongoing clinical trial for MYMD-1 demonstrates positive advancement with dose increase.
- None.
Allowed Claims Cover Supera-CBD™ as a New Molecular Entity and Pharmaceutical Formulations Containing the Compound
“We are excited that another major patent office has acknowledged the superior ability of Supera-CBD™ to selectively bind with the CB2 receptor, which could potentially offer a breakthrough drug for the treatment of indications such as pain and anxiety,” commented
MYMD-1, an oral selective inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), that drives chronic inflammation, is being studied to slow the aging process, prevent sarcopenia and frailty, and extend healthy lifespan. A Phase 2 multi-center double-blind, placebo controlled, randomized study (NCT05283486) to investigate the efficacy, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of MYMD-1 in the treatment of chronic inflammation associated with sarcopenia/frailty is currently ongoing. The company’s scientific review committee met recently and agreed to move to the next higher dose in the study.
The upcoming patent grant adds to the company’s growing portfolio that already includes patents in the US,
About MYMD-1
MYMD-1, an oral selective inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), a driver of chronic inflammation, is being studied to slow the aging process, prevent sarcopenia and frailty, and extend healthy lifespan. MYMD-1 has shown effectiveness in pre-clinical and clinical studies in regulating the immune system. Unlike other therapies, MYMD-1 has been shown in these studies to selectively block TNF-α when it becomes overactivated in autoimmune diseases and cytokine storms, but not block it from doing its normal job of being a first responder to any routine type of moderate infection.
MYMD-1’s ease of oral dosing is another differentiator compared to currently available TNF-α blockers, all of which require delivery by injection or infusion. No approved TNF inhibitor has ever been dosed orally. In addition, the drug is not immunosuppressive and has not been shown to cause the serious side effects common with traditional therapies that treat inflammation. Because it can cross the blood-brain barrier and gain access to the central nervous system (CNS), MYMD-1 is also positioned to be a possible treatment for brain-related disorders. Its mechanism of action and efficacy in diseases including multiple sclerosis (MS) and thyroiditis have been studied through collaborations with several academic institutions.
