IGC Pharma (NYSE:IGC) has announced a new clinical trial site at Santa Cruz Behavioral (SCB) in Puerto Rico for its CALMA Phase 2 clinical trial, which is investigating IGC-AD1 for agitation in Alzheimer's disease. The strategic location addresses a significant market need, as Puerto Rico has a 12.5% Alzheimer's prevalence rate among those over 65, higher than the 10% rate in non-Hispanic white populations in the U.S.
The selection of Puerto Rico is particularly significant due to its rapidly aging demographic and unique genetic predispositions. Dementia-related medical care in Puerto Rico accounts for over 25% of total societal healthcare costs, exceeding proportions in the continental U.S. This new site complements IGC's existing trial location at the University of Puerto Rico.
IGC Pharma (NYSE American: IGC) presented key genetic toxicology safety data for one of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in IGC-AD1, its investigational Alzheimer's disease drug, at the 2025 Genetic Toxicology Association Annual Meeting. The study, conducted by an independent Canadian lab, evaluated melatonin's mutagenic potential using the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test (Ames test).
The GLP-compliant study tested multiple bacterial strains at concentrations from 1.6 to 5000 µg/plate. Results showed no evidence of mutagenicity at any dose level, with Fold Response values remaining below the mutagenic activity threshold. This safety milestone supports IGC-AD1's development as the company prepares for larger trials and potential commercialization.

IGC Pharma (NYSE American:IGC) has expanded its Phase 2 CALMA clinical trial by adding Butler Hospital's Memory and Aging Program, affiliated with Brown University's Warren Alpert Medical School. The trial evaluates IGC-AD1, a therapy for agitation in Alzheimer's disease.
Dr. Meghan Riddle, Associate Director of Butler Hospital's Memory and Aging Program and Associate Professor, will lead the trial site. The CALMA study aims to enroll 146 participants across the United States and Canada to assess IGC-AD1's effectiveness in reducing agitation in Alzheimer's patients, a condition affecting most patients and significantly impacting caregivers.

IGC Pharma (NYSE American:IGC) has expanded its Phase 2 CALMA clinical trial for IGC-AD1, a treatment targeting agitation in Alzheimer's dementia, by adding the MIND Institute at Miami Jewish Health as a new trial site. The expansion follows promising interim data suggesting potential improvements in patient outcomes.
Miami Jewish Health, with over 85 years of experience in senior healthcare, will contribute to the study under the leadership of Dr. Marc E. Agronin, Chief Medical Officer of MIND Institute and a renowned geriatric psychiatrist. This collaboration aims to accelerate trial completion while reaching a more diverse patient population.
IGC Pharma (NYSE American:IGC) has reported positive interim results from its Phase 2 clinical trial of IGC-AD1, targeting agitation in Alzheimer's patients.

IGC-AD1, a cannabinoid-based partial CB1 receptor agonist, shows promise in addressing sleep disorders affecting up to 44% of Alzheimer's patients. The treatment's mechanism differs from traditional sedatives, potentially offering a safer alternative to current options like Trazodone and Suvorexant, which have shown effectiveness in dementia patients.
The ongoing CALMA trial's complete analysis is expected by end-2025. The company plans to evaluate IGC-AD1 as an Alzheimer's disease-modifying drug, targeting a global sleep aid market projected to exceed $100 billion by 2030.
