Management Commentary
"We are very encouraged by the progress our team has made in
developing what has the potential to be the first FDA approved
therapy to treat patients suffering from acute cannabinoid
intoxication," said Simon Allen,
Chief Executive Officer of Anebulo. "In March, we announced the
full positive data from Part B of our Phase 2 study of ANEB-001 in
healthy volunteers challenged with THC. We believe these data, in
conjunction with our observational study of ACI patients in the
emergency room setting, will provide a solid foundation for
discussing a registrational path for ANEB-001 with FDA. That
meeting has now been scheduled for July."
Financial Results for the three months ended March 31, 2023
- Operating expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 were
$2.9 million compared with
$1.9 million in the same period in
fiscal 2022.
- Net loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $2.8 million, or $(0.11) per share, compared with a net loss of
$1.9 million, or $(0.08) per share, in the third quarter of fiscal
2022.

About Anebulo Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Anebulo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a clinical-stage
biopharmaceutical company developing novel solutions for people
suffering from acute cannabinoid intoxication and substance abuse
disorder. Its lead product candidate, ANEB-001, has completed
dosing in a Phase 2 clinical trial
(www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05282797) evaluating its
utility in reversing the negative effects of acute cannabinoid
intoxication. ANEB-001 is a competitive antagonist at the human
cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1). For further information about
Anebulo, please visit www.anebulo.com.
About ANEB-001
Our lead product candidate is ANEB-001, a potent, small molecule
cannabinoid receptor antagonist, to address the unmet medical need
for a specific antidote for ACI. ANEB-001 is an orally
bioavailable, readily absorbed treatment candidate that we
anticipate will rapidly reverse key symptoms of ACI. ANEB-001 is
protected by one issued patent and rights to one patent application
covering various methods of use of the compound and delivery
systems. We began a Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial for ANEB-001 in
December 2021 in the Netherlands and announced positive Phase 2
Part A proof-of-concept topline data on July
5, 2022, positive Part B data on September 26, 2022, completed dosing of all
subjects in mid-December 2022, and
announced preliminary Phase 2 Part B data on January 09, 2023. On March 28, 2023, we announced complete results
from Part A and Part B of our Phase 2 clinical trial. A Type B
meeting to discuss these data with FDA is scheduled for
July 2023.
