IGC Pharma (NYSE American: IGC), a company focused on developing innovative solutions to address Alzheimer’s disease, has announced that interim data from its phase 2 trial demonstrates a clinically significant reduction, approaching statistical significance, in agitation in Alzheimer’s at week two compared to placebo. IGC-AD1 targets neuroinflammation and CB1 receptor dysfunction, and the investigational drug contains THC, a principal psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis, as one of two active pharmaceutical agents. IGC-AD1 is a first-of-its-kind THC-based-formulation undergoing a formal phase 2 clinical trial in Alzheimer’s (clinicaltrials.gov, Identifier: CT05543681). “We are excited to share that the interim results on the secondary outcome show that IGC-AD1 can provide fast relief with few side effects in reducing agitation in Alzheimer’s dementia compared to placebo. We are especially excited by these results given the limited therapeutic options currently available,” said Ram Mukunda, CEO of IGC Pharma.
