- ClinCloud has dosed its first patient in
trial investigating the safety and efficacy of IGC-AD1 on agitation
in Alzheimer’s Disease -
IGC Pharma, Inc. (NYSE American: IGC) (“IGC” or the “Company”),
today announced that ClinCloud, a clinical research facility in
Florida, has dosed its first patient as part of the Company’s
ongoing Phase 2b trial.
IGC Pharma is currently conducting a Phase 2b trial at twelve
sites in the US and Canada with IGC-AD1, a combination medicine
with a CB1 receptor partial agonist with anti-neuroinflammatory
properties, and an inflammasome inhibitor to treat agitation in
dementia from Alzheimer’s. Neuroinflammation, neurotransmitter
imbalance, loss of CB1 receptors, and inflammasome-3 have been
implicated in agitation/aggression.
ClinCloud has two sites in Florida, one in Maitland and the
other in Viera-Melbourne. Individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s
disease and/or their caregivers who live near the sites are
encouraged to contact ClinCloud for information regarding enrolling
in the trial. Contact information is available at
clincloudresearch.com.
Jessica Branning, founder of ClinCloud, commented, “Treatment
options targeting agitation in Alzheimer’s disease are currently
limited. This symptom is present in over 50-80% of Alzheimer’s
patients and is a source of significant distress for both patients
and their caregivers. We’re glad to support this Phase 2b clinical
trial as it aligns with ClinCloud’s goal of transforming healthcare
with continuous improvements and revolutionary breakthroughs. As
the global population ages, it is more important than ever to
identify treatments for neuropsychiatric conditions. An oral
solution with the ability to reduce agitation in Alzheimer’s would
have a significant impact on patients’ quality of life.”
Ram Mukunda, CEO of IGC Pharma stated, “We are excited to
announce this important addition to our Phase 2b trial of IGC-AD1.
This strategic expansion amplifies our reach and strengthens the
depth of our data collection, marking a critical phase in our
pursuit of an innovative therapy for agitation in Alzheimer's
disease. The expansion of our trial network underscores our
commitment to a robust, scientifically driven approach, advancing
our confidence in the potential of IGC-AD1. We continue to see
progress in patient and trial site recruitment. I am optimistic
that our partnership with ClinCloud will bring us closer to
developing an effective and safe therapy to address the global
challenge of Alzheimer’s disease.”
IGC Pharma has 12 sites and is on target to roll out additional
sites in the U.S. and in Canada to increase population diversity
and promote the inclusion of underrepresented populations. The
trial will enroll 146 patients with one half, the treated group,
receiving IGC-AD1, and the other half, the control group, receiving
a placebo.
