PIPELINE

InMed Pharmaceuticals is currently developing two products in its drug pipeline: INM-750, for the treatment of Epidermolysis Bullosa, and INM-085, for the treatment of Glaucoma.


Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is group of inherited connective tissue diseases that share a common manifestation of extremely fragile skin that blisters or tears easily from friction or trauma. Internal organs and bodily systems can also be affected by EB. It is a result in a defect of anchoring between the dermis and epidermis cause most frequently by the absence of certain keratins (or, proteins) in the skin. EB is an orphan disease with no currently approved treatments and has a significant unmet medical need. INM-750 will potentially be the first therapy designed and developed specifically to modulate disease activity and to alleviate symptoms in EB.

INM-750 includes multiple cannabinoids as the active ingredients:

  • The cannabinoids included in INM-750 were selected to modulate keratin levels in patients with EB with the expectation of having a disease modulating effect
    A secondary consideration in selection of the cannabinoids was addressing symptoms of EB such as inflammation, wound healing, skin regeneration, itching, and pain
    INM-750 is being developed for topical application, designed to maximize penetration of the cannabinoids to the epidermal / dermal junction in the skin.

 

INM-085

Glaucoma is a group of eye disorders which result in damage of the optic nerve. The damage is most often caused by an abnormally high pressure in the eye and is one of the leading causes of blindness in the developed world.

INM-085 will be the first ever glaucoma treatment developed that is a multi-target, multi-mechanism of action therapy, utilizing multiple cannabinoids for optimal efficacy. The cannabinoids in INM-085 have been selected to reduce the elevated intra-ocular pressure (IOP) in the affected eyes and provide neuroprotection for the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and other optic nerve tissues.

INM-085 is designed as a topical formulation to be administered directly to the eye. The formulation that has been designed by InMed is a proprietary polymer-based formulation to facilitate absorption of the cannabinoids into the eye while also being well tolerated by the patients. We envision a once-a-day application, at bedtime, to deliver effective dose levels of INM-085.
