- Completion of FDA pre-IND meeting for SPC-15, potentially expediting the approval process
- Proposed 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway could reduce development time and costs
- Clear path for advancing SPC-15 into human clinical trials
- Ongoing GLP-compliant pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study
- Exclusive worldwide license from Columbia University for SPC-15
- SPC-15 is still in early development stages, with no human trial data available yet
- Potential regulatory hurdles and clinical trial outcomes remain uncertain
The completion of the pre-IND meeting with the FDA marks a significant milestone for Silo Pharma's SPC-15 development. The FDA's feedback on the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway is particularly noteworthy, as it could potentially accelerate the approval process and reduce development costs. This approach leverages existing data, which is important for a small biotech company.
The ongoing GLP-compliant pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study is a critical step towards the IND submission. Positive pre-clinical data suggesting SPC-15's efficacy in combating stress-induced pathophysiology at both behavioral and neural levels is promising. However, it's important to note that success in pre-clinical stages doesn't guarantee clinical efficacy or regulatory approval.
The exclusive worldwide license from Columbia University strengthens Silo's intellectual property position, potentially increasing the company's value if SPC-15 proves successful in human trials.
This news represents a positive development for Silo Pharma, potentially de-risking their lead candidate SPC-15. The FDA's guidance on the 505(b)(2) pathway could significantly reduce time and costs associated with bringing SPC-15 to market, a important factor for a small-cap biotech company.
Investors should note that while this progress is encouraging, Silo is still in the pre-clinical stage. The company will likely need substantial funding to progress through clinical trials. The

Advancing path to IND submission for first-in-human trials
SARASOTA, FL, Sept. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Silo Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: SILO) (“Silo” or the “Company”), a developmental stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel formulations and drug delivery systems for traditional therapeutics and psychedelic treatments, today announced the completion of a pre-Investigational New Drug (pre-IND) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the Company's development plan for SPC-15, an intranasal prophylactic treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and stress-induced anxiety disorder. The pre-IND meeting was completed through written responses provided by the FDA’s Division of Regulatory Operations for Neuroscience (DRON) - Psychiatry Group.
The primary purpose of the pre-IND meeting was to align with the FDA on the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for approval of SPC-15 along with Silo’s proposed plan to support opening an IND. The FDA’s 505(b)(2) drug development route can significantly shorten clinical timelines for FDA approval and reduce drug development costs.
“The FDA provided helpful written responses on our development plan for SPC-15," said Silo CEO Eric Weisblum. “We now have a clear path for advancing our development of SPC-15 into the clinic for in-human trials which will hopefully lead to FDA approval and ultimately allow us to commercialize our patented, cutting-edge intranasal treatment, to the PTSD treatment market.”
Silo is currently conducting a GLP-compliant pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study in advance of an IND submission for a potential first-in-human (FIH) clinical trial of SPC-15. Pre-clinical data to date indicate that SPC-15’s optimized patient safety and therapeutic delivery has additive benefits for combating stress-induced pathophysiology, both at the behavioral and neural levels. Columbia University has granted Silo an exclusive license to further develop, manufacture, and commercialize SPC-15 worldwide.
About SPC-15
SPC-15 is a novel serotonin 4 (5-HT4) receptor agonist that utilizes biomarkers for the treatment of PTSD, anxiety, and other stress-induced affective disorders. SPC-15 is being developed as an intranasal medication. If clinically successful, SPC-15 could qualify for the FDA’s streamlined 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for drug approval. Silo Pharma is conducting preclinical studies of SPC-15 in collaboration with Columbia University and was granted an exclusive license to further develop, manufacture, and commercialize SPC-15 worldwide.
