IGC Pharma (NYSE American: IGC), an AI-powered, clinical-stage biotechnology company, is announcing the advancement of its proprietary formulation, IGC-AD1, an orally administered medication with a strong safety profile, toward clinical trials as a potential anti-amyloid disease-modifying treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. According to the announcement, IGC Pharma is positioned to make a significant contribution with IGC-AD1 following the FDA’s 2023 approval of Donanemab (Eli Lily) and Lecanemab (Eisai and Biogen), two groundbreaking anti-amyloid drugs. Amyloid-targeted therapies are known to slow Alzheimer’s progression and improve cognitive function. The announcement noted that while these approvals have been a significant milestone in enhancing disease treatment, there is still an increasing demand for safe and effective treatments.
“As we continue our ongoing Phase 2 clinical trials for treating agitation in Alzheimer’s dementia with IGC-AD1, we’re excited to advance our research into its potential as an anti-amyloid disease-modifying treatment… The initiation of disease-modifying investigational trials, expected in early 2025, will open a significant market opportunity for IGC Pharma,” stated Ram Mukunda, CEO of IGC Pharma. “By initiating new trials focused on IGC-AD1’s ability to modify amyloid plaque progression, we hope to position IGC Pharma to deliver a breakthrough treatment in Alzheimer’s disease, driving substantial value for our shareholders.”
