Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 14, 2024) - InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: INM) ("InMed" or the "Company"), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing a pipeline of proprietary small molecule drug candidates for diseases with high unmet medical needs, today reports financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2025 which ended September 30, 2024.
The Company's full financial statements and related MD&A for the first quarter ended September 30, 2024, are available at www.inmedpharma.com, www.sedar.com and at www.sec.gov.
Eric A. Adams, InMed Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Fiscal 2025 has commenced on a positive trajectory, with notable progress across our pharmaceutical programs and commercial operations. Our Alzheimer's treatment candidate, INM-901, demonstrated robust progress in the first quarter, with initial read-out from a long-term preclinical study providing strong data, including achieving statistical significance in certain behavioural criteria. We are encouraged by the promising data supporting this program and the multiple potential mechanisms of action observed with this drug candidate. The Alzheimer's research landscape is rapidly evolving, with increasing attention on neuroinflammation and other key mechanisms, aligning closely with InMed's research focus and direction. We look forward to communicating additional long-term preclinical data in calendar 4Q 2024."
Adams continued, "On the corporate front, the Company's recent announcement to implement a reverse split to regain Nasdaq compliance became effective today, November 14, 2024, underpinning the Company's commitment to maintaining its listing on a major exchange while actively exploring strategic opportunities to enhance long-term shareholder value."
Business Update - Pharmaceutical Development Programs
INM-901: Targeting multiple biological pathways associated with Alzheimer's disease
INM-901 is a proprietary small molecule drug candidate with multiple mechanisms of action, currently in development as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease. In the first quarter, the Company announced key milestones, including positive behavioral data from long-term preclinical studies that reinforce and enhance previous findings. Additionally, new data showed that INM-901 can be administered orally, achieving therapeutic levels in the brain comparable to those obtained through intraperitoneal ("IP") injection, a standard method of drug administration in preclinical neurodegenerative research. Ongoing studies are also examining receptor interactions to better understand the mechanisms of action ("MoA") and drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics ("DMPK").
Next steps include conducting further molecular analyses from the recently completed long-term preclinical dosing study to more precisely characterize the drug's mechanisms of action. Data read-out is anticipated in the calendar 4Q 2024.
INM-089: Targeting the treatment of dry Age-related Macular Degeneration ("AMD")
INM-089 is a proprietary small molecule drug candidate being studied in the treatment of dry AMD. Next steps in the drug development pathway include additional in vivo preclinical dose ranging studies, alongside continued Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls ("CMC") activities for both the drug substance and drug product. Following these efforts, Good Laboratory Practice ("GLP") studies are set to commence.
