InMed Expands its Pharmaceutical Pipeline with
INM-089 Targeting the Treatment of Age-Related Macular Degeneration
| ● | INM-089 improves retinal function in in vivo
preclinical AMD disease model |
| ● | Establishes cannabinol (CBN) analog candidate
in a new disease target |
Vancouver, BC – November 29, 2023
– InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“InMed” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: INM), a leader
in the pharmaceutical research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of rare cannabinoids and cannabinoid analogs, today
announces the launch of INM-089, a cannabinol (“CBN”) analog, to investigate its effects in the treatment of Age-related
Macular Degeneration (“AMD”). INM-089 is the company’s second ocular pharmaceutical program.
Results from a study, conducted under a collaborative
research agreement with leading cannabinoid expert Dr. Mauro Maccarrone at the Università degli Studi dell’Aquila (Italy),
demonstrated that INM-089 preserved retinal function in an in vivo AMD disease model. Furthermore, in this model, treatment with
INM-089 also improved the thickness of the outer nuclear layer (“ONL”) of the retina where the photoreceptors are located.
Based on widely accepted ocular research, there is a very strong correlation between the thickness of the ONL, photoreceptor preservation
and visual acuity.
Several CBN analog structures were screened in
in vitro and in vivo models to select the most appropriate candidate for continued development. InMed selected a specific
CBN analog that outperformed its natural cannabinoid counterpart and demonstrated promising effects related to the treatment of AMD.
“We are very pleased that this research
has led to the identification of a lead CBN analog candidate to advance to additional in vivo studies as part of the
preclinical development program. Early studies show promising neuroprotective effects of INM-089, leading to the preservation of the retinal
function at the back of the eye. Neuroprotection in AMD remains an unmet medical need and a new treatment option may help solve this multifactorial
disease,” said InMed’s scientific advisor, Dr. Mauro Maccarrone.
“The INM-089 program, in conjunction with
the work we are doing in glaucoma (INM-088), expands our ocular pipeline to treat both front of eye and back of eye indications, including
AMD,” said Dr. Eric Hsu, SVP of Preclinical R&D at InMed.
From previous ocular research of the parent, naturally
occurring cannabinoid CBN, the Company discovered its ability to proactively protect the nerve cells at the back of the eye in the retinal
area, potentially preserving retinal function and vision in preclinical models. The results of this discovery led the Company to investigate
optimization of the CBN molecule to better target AMD, resulting in the proprietary CBN analog, INM-089
What is AMD?
AMD is the most common cause of vision loss and
potential blindness in people over 50 years of age and globally affects about 35% of people 75 years and older. AMD affects the central
vision, and the ability to see fine details. In AMD, a part of the retina called the macula is damaged. The two primary types of age-related
macular degeneration are atrophic (non-exudative or “dry”) AMD and neovascular (exudative or “wet”) AMD. Dry AMD
(approximately 90% of patients) is characterized by geographic atrophy (GA) at the center of the macula in the advanced stage of the disease,
and vision can slowly deteriorate over many years due to the loss of photoreceptors as GA progresses. Wet AMD (approximately 10% of patients)
is a more severe form of AMD and is characterized by neovascularization (i.e., development of excess vasculature), which can rapidly lead
to blindness. In its early stages, AMD may have no signs or symptoms; therefore, most people do not know they have the disease until it
is well developed. Currently, there is no cure for AMD; however, there are treatment options that may prevent or slow the progression
of the disease. If AMD remains untreated, patients are likely to lose central field vision in the affected eye within 24 months of disease
onset.
InMed is developing a pipeline of rare cannabinoids
and cannabinoid analogs across a spectrum of therapeutic applications with large unmet medical needs. Our pharmaceutical programs include
a recently completed Phase 2 clinical trial studying the safety and efficacy of INM-755 cream for epidermolysis bullosa and preclinical
programs in ocular and neurodegenerative diseases.
