AUSTIN, Texas, February 11, 2022–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Anebulo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANEB), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel solutions for people suffering from acute cannabinoid intoxication and substance abuse (the “Company” or “Anebulo”), today announced financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and recent updates.

 

Highlights from the fiscal year 2022 second quarter and recent weeks include the following:

  • Initiated a Phase 2 proof-of-concept clinical study to investigate ANEB-001 as a potential treatment for acute cannabinoid intoxication. The Phase 2 clinical trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study at the Centre for Human Drug Research in, Leiden, the Netherlands to evaluate ANEB-001 in the inhibition of THC-induced effects. The Company expects topline results to be available in the first half of calendar year 2022.
  • Participated in a pre-IND (Investigational New Drug) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) during which the company received guidance regarding the clinical development of ANEB-001 in the United States. The FDA noted that a challenge model whereby subjects are exposed to THC in a controlled clinical setting, as an essential alternative to patient studies, may be acceptable. FDA also suggested we submit a model-informed drug development (MIDD) paired-meeting request, potentially allowing for more frequent contact with the FDA to improve our path to clinical development and intended registration.
  • Named Simon Allen as Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Allen joined Anebulo on February 1, 2022. Previously he served as Chief Business Officer of Ambrx Biopharma Inc., where he helped prepare and conclude its NYSE IPO and establishing multiple partnerships with pharmaceutical companies such as Bristol Myers Squibb, Pfizer, Merck, Eli Lilly, Astellas, BeiGene and Sino Biopharma. These partnerships generated over $270 million in non-dilutive revenue with the potential to earn over a billion dollars in future milestones plus royalties for the company. From 2016 to 2018 he was Chief Executive Officer of CohBar where he transitioned the company from preclinical to clinical, managed the listing of its shares on Nasdaq, and included the company into the Russell 2000 Index. Mr. Allen started his career in the lab at Gilead Sciences working on antiviral drugs for HIV and Influenza prior to spending over two decades in sell-side biotech business development at companies such as Skyepharma, CovX and Kalypsys.
  • Appointed Scott L. Anderson as Head of Investor Relations and Public Relations. Mr. Anderson joined Anebulo on January 1, 2022 and is responsible for Anebulo’s global investor relations and public relations programs. With more than 20 years of public company IR and PR experience, Mr. Anderson continues to enhance the Companies outreach programs while managing investor and corporate relationships. Mr. Anderson began his career in similar capacities at companies such as Qualcomm, Qorvo (formerly RF Micro Devices), Actavis plc (formerly Watson Pharmaceuticals) and O2Micro International.
  • Issued U.S. method-of-use patent for ANEB-001. The Company strengthened its intellectual property with the issuance of U.S. patent No. 11,141,404, titled “Formulations And Methods For Treating Acute Cannabinoid Overdose.” The patent provides protection through 2040 and describes the use of ANEB-001 to treat acute cannabinoid overdose.

 

Management Commentary

“I am thrilled to join the Anebulo team at such an exciting time in the company’s development. There is a significant and pressing need to treat acute cannabinoid intoxication as hospital emergency department visits for this condition reached 1.7 million in 2018 and continue to increase by approximately 15% annually as more states legalize the use of marijuana,” stated Simon Allen, Chief Executive Officer of Anebulo. “In January, we announced the initiation of our Phase 2 clinical study of ANEB-001 in the Netherlands and expect to report topline results in the first half of this year, an important step in achieving our goal of developing the first FDA-approved therapy for acute cannabinoid intoxication.”
