MissionIRNewsBreaks – InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: INM) Begins Phase 2 Clinical Trial Evaluating CBN in the EB Treatment

 InMed Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: INM), a leader in the manufacturing and clinical development of rare cannabinoids, has started its Phase 2 clinical trial of INM-755 (cannabinol) cream in the treatment of epidermolysis bullosa (“EB”). According to the company, this is the first time cannabinol has advanced to a Phase 2 clinical trial to be studied as a therapeutic option to treat a disease. The study will be conducted in seven different countries at 11 sites; the countries include Austria, Germany, Greece, France, Italy, Israel and Serbia. The company has filed clinical trial applications in all seven countries and has received approval from Austria, France, Greece and Israel, with the first site initiation visit being completed at a clinical site in Austria. Screening for eligible participants is set to begin in Austria soon. INM-755 is a cannabinol cream being considered as a topical therapy to treat EB and potentially other dermatological diseases. Currently EB has very few treatment options. “The achievement of this important milestone along the continuum of pharmaceutical drug development in EB supports our belief that this class of compounds hold broad therapeutic potential,” said InMed president and CEO Eric A. Adams in the press release. “This study further demonstrates InMed’s leadership in the development of rare cannabinoids as therapeutic products. In addition, we look forward to achieving key milestones of our second CBN drug candidate for the treatment of glaucoma in the year ahead.”

Lexaria Bioscience Corp.’s (NASDAQ: LEXX) Versatile DehydraTECH(TM) Technology Improving Taste, Bioabsorption, Efficacy of Drugs

 

  • Lexaria Bioscience is the global innovator behind the disruptive DehydraTECH(TM) drug delivery technology
  • DehydraTECH’s taste-masking capabilities eliminate the need for unwanted sweeteners or chemical masking agents
  • The technology also significantly increases the bioavailability of drugs, speeds up the rate of drug onset, and boosts brain absorption
  • DehydraTECH presents numerous opportunities and has been evaluated in R&D programs featuring DehydraTECH-processed nicotine, antivirals, and cannabidiol 

Oral delivery is the easiest and most convenient way to administer medications, yet it is prevalently associated with patient noncompliance owing to many drugs’ bitter taste. The problem appears widespread and necessitating remedial bitterness-masking interventions. But as recently as 2013 (relative to the mid-19th century origin of the modern pharmaceutical industry), the taste-masking of oral solid dosage forms was still a major challenge that needed to be addressed by formulation or pharmaceutical scientists (https://ibn.fm/7wmaW).

The most commonly used taste-masking methods at that time were film coating and the use of sweeteners, sugars, or flavors, but the latter is considered ineffective due to its inability to adequately mask the bitter taste. Still, less conventional methods such as microencapsulation, spray drying, supercritical fluids, and more had already been reported as successful taste-masking techniques. 

Since then, Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator whose patented DehydraTECH(TM) drug delivery technology could potentially improve oral administration of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (“APIs”), has led the pharmaceutical industry in advancing novel taste-masking techniques.

With part of its R&D having progressed from animal studies to human clinical studies, the company has so far established that DehydraTECH masks unwanted taste, thereby eliminating the need for sugar-filled edibles; improves the speed of drug onset; increases the effectiveness of drug delivery into the bloodstream (bioavailability); and boosts brain absorption (https://ibn.fm/la1J9). 

DehydraTECH’s taste-masking capabilities result from the use of fatty acids. The technology combines the API with fatty acids, such as long-chain fatty acid (“LCFA”), before applying the resultant compound to food/carrier particles (substrate material), performing dehydration synthesis procedure, and, finally, rendering it as powder or liquid for use in desired final form factor. Importantly, according to an evaluation LEXX conducted in collaboration with National Research Council, the largest R&D organization in Canada, DehydraTECH does not alter the chemical structure of the API.

The fatty acids offer dual benefits. First, they are believed to block and divert bound APIs away from bitter taste receptors, essentially rendering them flavorless, as well as odorless. “DehydraTECH formulations do not require unwanted sweeteners or chemical masking agents for flavor and odor blocking, allowing manufacturers to create low-sugar products with fewer calories, while also avoiding the use of excessive artificial sweeteners,” reads the company’s website (https://ibn.fm/TfY0x).

The LCFA also promotes quick absorption into lymphatics, bypassing the first-pass liver effect, which drastically reduces the bioavailability or overall effectiveness of orally ingested drugs. In this regard and based on findings of clinical testing, DehydraTECH significantly increases bioavailability for fat-soluble drugs.

DehydraTECH has so far been evaluated as part of nicotine, antivirals, and cannabinoids (“CBD”) R&D programs. The nicotine program showed that the drug delivery platform significantly increased the quantity of nicotine delivered. It was also responsible for 295% higher brain levels of nicotine compared to controls. 

Additionally, its first 2021 human clinical study under the CBD program, HYPER-H21-1, has evidenced a rapid and sustained decline in blood pressure, with the reduction being more pronounced in the first 10 to 50 minutes of the study. The second 2021 human clinical study, HYPER-H21-2, has demonstrated up to 23% drop in blood pressure with DehydraTECH-CBD compared with placebo. Though Lexaria still awaits additional analyses, its drug delivery technology has proven useful for potentially treating hypertension.

Thirdly, its antiviral program, featuring cell-based and animal studies using Remdesivir and antiviral drugs being investigated for SARS-CoV-2 and HIV/AIDS, has demonstrated enhanced drug delivery.

Since it began developing DehydraTECH in 2014, Lexaria has significantly strengthened and broadened the technology to an unprecedented degree. Even so, more may still be in the offing for the company currently disrupting the pharmaceutical industry.

Communications Tech and Data Services Provider FingerMotion Inc. (FNGR) Building Strong IP in China’s Large Insurance Market

 

  • FingerMotion Inc., has become a provider for China’s booming e-commerce market with rich communication services (“RCS”) and big-data insights, developing its Sapientus database as a solution for clients’ predictive services needs
  • In addition to its SMS, MMS and mobile top-up business, FingerMotion’s focus on adapting Sapientus to the needs of the insurance industry are driving revenues to new records each quarter
  • In China, insurance is compulsory to protect certain societal needs, such as pensions, medical care, employment (and unemployment), and maternity care, creating a ready market for insurance providers
  • The Sapientus platform creates proprietary matrices for assessing consumer risk potential using context-based outlooks in accordance with established behaviors

The development of business capabilities to harvest and apply big data insights is affecting revenue streams that vary in size and impact from national government contractors (https://ibn.fm/yE6s6) to farmers harvesting their fields (https://ibn.fm/Vqw3t). 

Industry e-magazine Datamation reported Sept. 26 on Splunk findings that “organizations with ‘mature data practices’ release twice as many products and increase employee productivity at double the rate of organizations with less mature data practices” (https://ibn.fm/kQuHI). 

Big data communications technology innovator FingerMotion (OTCQX: FNGR) is focusing its new platform on China’s insurance market as the nation serving as the home to some 1.4 billion people continues to build a powerful economy on the efforts of factories crucial to the global supply chain. 

FingerMotion launched its Big Data Insights division with its flagship database IP Sapientus last year and attracted global insurance behemoth Pacific Life Re-insurance as a client interested in developing a customer base within China. 

Sapientus is a stand-out technology that applies publicly available data to clients’ risk forecast needs, generating proprietary matrices that assimilate information on individuals’ behaviors to create context-based outlooks for customers. 

It’s a service that’s particularly attractive in China since the country’s credit and insurance risk standards are still in a developmental stage and Sapientus can help provide an alternative means of judging potential liabilities for a corporate client. 

During the past year, FingerMotion’s revenues have seen steady growth, largely due to mobile communications services, and the Pacific Life agreement earlier this year positioned it for an even more promising future.  CEO Martin Shen said during a corporate update conference call discussing the company’s first-quarter financial results in August that FingerMotion’s top-up business had risen 341 percent and mobile SMS and MMS services had increased by 77 percent, and that “some significant funds” raised after the quarter ended will likely lead to a higher outcome on the balance sheet once the Q2 report is completed. 

“Most of the e-commerce companies operate in the red for quite a while before they turn a profit, but our current trajectory has us moving in that profitable direction a bit quicker than maybe other companies have been,” Shen said (https://ibn.fm/OPdc3).

Shen acknowledged that the company has considered eventually focusing its big data platform on other industries beyond insurance and in markets beyond China’s borders, but said the company needs to stay focused on its immediate purpose before expanding its reach. 

“We’ve always thought of the ability of the algorithms that we have. It’s not really just to perfect those algorithms but it’s also to have them exportable and replicated in other jurisdictions, in other markets. … But again, that takes time to develop, and we’re really still developing what we’re doing right now in China,” Shen said. “Right now, let’s just build and make sure that our foundation is strong first.”
