Silo Pharma develops novel therapeutics and drug-delivery systems for stress-induced psychiatric disorders, chronic pain and central nervous system diseases, while also disclosing activity in cryptocurrency treasury and AI infrastructure initiatives. Company news frequently centers on SPC-15, an intranasal serotonin 5-HT4 receptor agonist program for PTSD and anxiety, as well as other pipeline work involving psychedelic-derived and traditional therapeutic approaches.
Recurring updates include patent allowances and applications in key jurisdictions, FDA and federal-policy context for psychedelic medicines, clinical-development planning, and new CNS discovery initiatives such as ibogaine-based approaches for traumatic brain injury. Corporate news also covers common-stock repurchase authorization, equity-financed asset purchases, the QwikAgents AI-agent platform, and cryptocurrency-related software assets.
Silo Pharma (NASDAQ: SILO) has partnered with medical technology provider Resyca BV for a drug-device study of SPC-15, its lead asset for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment. The study will focus on the formulation-specific microchip-based nasal spray system used to deliver the drug.
The intranasal delivery system is designed to bypass the blood-brain barrier, potentially enabling faster therapeutic benefits with optimized safety. This study is expected to provide the final device data and documentation needed for the company's planned FDA IND submission in 2025.
Additionally, Silo is conducting two other SPC-15 studies: an IND-enabling GLP-compliant toxicology and toxicokinetics study, and an FDA-requested 7-day safety and toxicology large animal study.

Silo Pharma (NASDAQ: SILO) has selected Veloxity Labs to conduct bioanalytical work for its IND-enabling GLP toxicology and toxicokinetics study of SPC-15, the company's lead drug candidate. SPC-15 is being developed as an intranasal prophylactic treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The company plans to initiate the FDA IND process for SPC-15 in 2025, and upon approval, will advance to a Phase 1 clinical trial. CEO Eric Weisblum expressed confidence in Veloxity Labs' ability to deliver fast turnaround times and precise data needed for the IND submission.
Silo Pharma (NASDAQ: SILO) has initiated a crucial 7-day safety and toxicology study for its lead drug candidate SPC-15, an intranasal PTSD treatment, at Frontage Laboratories. The study aims to gather additional data for the company's upcoming FDA investigational new drug (IND) application. Silo is simultaneously conducting a separate IND-enabling GLP-compliant toxicology study.
The company plans to submit its IND application in 2025, and upon approval, will proceed with a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial. SPC-15's development is backed by an exclusive global license from Columbia University for worldwide development, manufacturing, and commercialization rights.
Silo Pharma announced positive results from its preclinical study of SP-26, a novel extended-release ketamine implant for fibromyalgia treatment. The study, conducted in minipigs, met all endpoints including safety, tolerability, and sustained drug release.
Key findings include:
- No adverse events reported, with animals maintaining healthy weight and normal behavior
- Sustained ketamine release for up to 22 days post-implantation
- Minimal tissue inflammation at implant sites
- Peak drug levels achieved within 1 hour
SP-26 aims to provide sustained, sub-psychedelic ketamine levels in an abuse-deterrent format, potentially becoming the first at-home injectable ketamine-based therapeutic. The successful preclinical results position Silo to advance toward clinical studies for chronic pain and mental health treatments.
Silo Pharma (Nasdaq: SILO) has filed a patent application with the USPTO for SPC-14, an intranasal Alzheimer's disease treatment exclusively licensed from Columbia University. The patent, titled 'Compositions and Methods for the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease and Other Neurogenerative Disease,' covers the drug's novel mechanism targeting glutamate receptor NDMAR and serotonin 5-HT4 to address cognitive and neuropsychiatric symptoms.
The compound has demonstrated efficacy against luteinizing hormone in reducing learned helplessness, perseverative behavior, and hyponeophagia in early pre-clinical studies. SPC-14 was developed through a sponsored research agreement with Columbia University, followed by an exclusive global license agreement in 2024 for development, manufacturing, and commercialization rights.
Silo Pharma (Nasdaq: SILO) has announced a significant milestone in the development of its lead asset SPC-15, an intranasal prophylactic treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The company has initiated first dosing in an IND-enabling GLP-compliant toxicology and toxicokinetics study.
Following a successful pre-IND meeting with the FDA in September 2024, Silo is pursuing the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for SPC-15's approval. This pathway is designed to potentially reduce clinical development timelines and costs. The current studies, if successful, will provide the final preclinical data required for submitting an IND application and advancing to first-in-human clinical trials.
