Can This Company’s Positive Results For Psychedelic Combination Treatment Provide Hope For Alcohol And Cocaine Addiction Problems?

SciSparc Ltd.

Learn More about SciSparc Ltd. by gaining access to the latest research report There is a high probability that you may know someone battling some form of addiction. Whether it’s a problem with opioids, alcohol, cocaine, or even using pain meds, an unchecked addiction can be fatal. Addiction, or substance use disorder (SUD), can be a chronic mental health condition that demands urgent attention before it gets out of hand. Take alcohol abuse, for example; the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that three million deaths yearly result from the harmful use of alcohol. This represents 5.3% of all deaths. Overall, 5.1% of the global burden of disease and injury is attributable to alcohol, as measured in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Looking at the overall drug abuse and addiction globally, around 275 million people used drugs worldwide in 2020, while over 36 million people suffered from drug use disorders, according to the 2021 World Drug Report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). Zooming into the U.S., the National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics (NCDAS) estimates that nearly half of all people 12 and older in the U.S. have used an illicit substance at least once. Since 2000, almost one million people have died of a drug overdose. These staggering statistics call for effective therapies and treatment centers to help curb the trend, especially as there are indications that the number of drug users worldwide is likely to climb up to 11% by 2030. Rising awareness about the adverse effects of alcohol and substance abuse, the introduction of new therapies, and increasing rehabilitation centers are expected to fuel the growth of the global substance abuse treatment market. The global substance abuse treatment market was valued at $10.2 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5% from 2022 to 2031. The market is anticipated to cross $23.1 billion by 2031. Pharmaceutical companies like Amphastar Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: AMPH), Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRS), SciSparc Ltd. (NASDAQ: SPRC), and BioCorRx Inc. (OTCMKTS: BICX) are advancing research and therapies aimed at serving the needs of the market. SciSparc is a specialty clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies to treat CNS disorders from a portfolio of technologies and assets based on cannabinoid pharmaceuticals. The company is engaged in drug development programs based on tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and nonpsychoactive cannabidiol (CBD). The company’s pipeline of product candidates includes SCI-110 for treating Tourette syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease and agitation; SCI-160 for treating pain; and SCI-210 for treating autism spectrum disorder and status epilepticus. It also has CannAmide™, an immediate unique palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) oral formulation for reducing chronic pain and inflammation. Positive Results For Psychedelic Combination Treatment In May this year, SciSparc announced positive efficacy and safety profile results from its joint preclinical trial with Clearmind Medicine Inc. (NASDAQ:CMND,CSE: CMND)), a psychedelic pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of novel psychedelic-derived therapeutics to solve widespread and underserved health problems. The trial tested the proprietary combination of SciSparc’s CannAmide™ with Clearmind’s psychedelic molecule5-Methoxy-2aminoindane ( MEAI ) for suppressing alcohol use disorder. A histopathology assessment was conducted on several organs (heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, brain, pancreas, spleen and thyroid gland) from all experiment groups to determine the safety of the proprietary combination of MEAI and CannAmide™ versus control mice that were not exposed to alcohol. Previously announced successful results showed a significant dose-dependent effect for the MEAI treatment in reducing alcohol consumption in treated animals, with substantial additional effect when combining CannAmide™ with the lower sub-effective MEAI dose. On Aug. 24, the company announced additional positive preclinical results of its psychedelic-based pharma collaboration for treating cocaine addiction using MEAI. These preclinical study results add to the company’s collaboration with Clearmind for its combination treatment for various addictions, including preclinical studies results and filing two provisional patent applications related to compositions comprising MEAI and n-acylethanolamines, their use and treating cocaine addiction. Gal Yadid and his team from the Gonda Multidisciplinary Brain Research Center at Bar Ilan University in Israel led a preclinical trial designed to evaluate the possible reward-like effects of MEAI in connection to cocaine and its ability to abolish cocaine- induced conditioned place preference. The self-administration paradigm, the gold-standard model for examining drug addiction, was used in the preclinical trial. Rats were catheterized and trained to self-administer cocaine. The results identified a statistically significant sub-group that responded dramatically to the treatment, significantly decreasing the craving for cocaine compared to a nontreated control group. Follow the story at SciSparc’s website here. SciSparc Ltd. is a specialty clinical-stage pharmaceutical company led by an experienced team of senior executives and scientists. SciSparc's focus is on creating and enhancing a portfolio of technologies and assets based on cannabinoid pharmaceuticals.

Women’s Healthcare Company Agile Therapeutics Says It Believes It Has An Effective Business Plan In Place For Growth And Generating Positive Cash Flow

Agile Therapeutics, Inc.

Agile Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: AGRX) is on a journey to fulfill the unmet health needs of women with products designed to provide them with contraceptive options. The company’s product and product candidates are designed to provide women with contraceptive options that offer freedom from taking a daily pill without committing to a longer-acting method. Twirla® Agile ’s initial product Twirla® (levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol) transdermal system, is a nondaily prescription contraceptive based on the company’s proprietary transdermal patch technology called Skinfusion®, which is designed to allow drug delivery through the skin. The Twirla transdermal system is a once-weekly combined hormonal contraceptive (CHC) patch that contains the active ingredients levonorgestrel (LNG), a type of progestin, and ethinyl estradiol (EE), a type of estrogen. The patch is used as a contraceptive by women with a body mass index (BMI) less than 30 kilograms per meter (kg/m2) for whom a combined hormonal contraceptive is appropriate. It is less effective in women with a BMI of 25 or more. Q3 Financial Results And Corporate Update On Nov. 7, Agile released financial results for the three months that ended Sept. 30 and provided a corporate update. Financial Results Highlights: Net revenue: Twirla delivered $3.0 million in net revenue for the third quarter of 2022. This was an increase of 43% from the second quarter of 2022 – the largest quarter-over-quarter increase the Company has achieved. Cost of product revenue: Cost of product revenue totaled $1.4 million and consisted of direct and indirect costs related to the manufacturing of Twirla® sold, compared to $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2021 – a decrease of 47%. The decrease reflects the elimination of an inventory obsolescence reserve, which the company established in the third quarter of 2021. Total generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) operating expenses: Total GAAP operating expenses were $20.3 million for the quarter that ended Sept. 30, compared to $14.4 million for the comparable period in 2021 — an increase of 41%. The GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter of 2022 represent an increase of 80% from the $11.3 million of GAAP operating expenses reported for the second quarter of 2022. Total non-GAAP operating expenses: Total non-GAAP operational expenditures were $9.2 million for the quarter that ended Sept. 30, compared to $14.4 million for the comparable period in 2021 — a decrease of 36%. The non-GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter decreased 19% from the $11.3 million non-GAAP operating expenses reported for the second quarter of 2022. The company had a one-time, non-cash charge associated with the transfer of equipment to Corium in the third quarter and believes the non-GAAP operating expense, which excludes this charge from GAAP operating expenses, presents a more useful comparison of the results from its operations because prior periods did not include a similar charge. The company provided a reconciliation of its GAAP operating expenses versus non-GAAP operating expenses in its press release. Cash: As of Sept. 30, the company had $6.1 million of cash, compared to $13 million of cash and cash equivalents as of the end of the second quarter of 2022. Net loss: Net loss was $19.7 million, or 53 cents per share for the quarter that ended Sept. 30, compared to a net loss of $16.8 million, or $7.20 per share, for the comparable period in 2021. The company incurred a one-time, noncash operating expense charge of $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2022 related to the transfer of equipment ownership to Corium Inc., which is reflected in the net loss for the third quarter of 2022. Shares outstanding: As of Sept. 30, Agile had 39,026,823 shares issued and 36,997,836 weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. Key Contributors To Future Growth Although the company reported a net loss for the quarter due to reasons that included extraordinary ones, it says it has an effective business plan in place and is tracking towards its goal of generating positive cash flow. An important contributor to the company’s third-quarter growth was its partnership with Afaxys Inc., which drove volume in the nonretail channel. In the second quarter of 2022, 1,404 nonretail cycles of Twirla®were purchased, and that number surged 361% in the third quarter to 6,479 nonretail cycles. “This growth is the product of the efforts being made by Afaxys to penetrate the Planned Parenthood network. In the third quarter, we began to see the conversion of Planned Parenthood accounts in California, which drove significant sales and growth for the quarter. We believe this represents a sustainable customer base for future periods,” Agile Therapeutics Chief Commercial Officer Amy Welsh said. She added that by focusing on five key states — California, Texas, Florida, Illinois, and New York — “It is estimated that we can reach 45% of U.S. women between the ages of 18 and 24. In the future, we expect the retail channel to continue to grow.” Additionally, Agile plans to launch its collaboration with female telehealth leader Nurx in the fourth quarter of 2022 and expects the collaboration to begin to contribute to retail channel growth in 2023. Nurx is a leader in female-focused digital healthcare amongst the Twirla target audience and offers patients access to its telehealth platform and expert medical providers that have prescribed contraception to more than 1 million patients Generating Positive Cash Flow In an industry with players like Dare Bioscience Inc. (NASDAQ: DARE) and Hologic Inc. (NASDAQ: HOLX), Agile is exploring business development opportunities that could potentially accelerate the timeline for generating positive cash flow. “Our stated plan has been to effectively manage expenses while continuing to grow Twirla® sales and demand. This is the third consecutive quarter we have increased Twirla® sales and demand while simultaneously decreasing company operating expenses, excluding the noncash, one-time charge incurred this quarter,” Chairman and CEO and Director of Agile Therapeutics Chairman and CEO Alfred Altomari said. “We are working — and have been working — to identify and implement strategies and exploit opportunities that will contribute to further growth,” he added. If Agile maintains its quarterly revenue growth rate and operating expenses consistent with the past two quarters, the company could potentially begin to generate positive cash flow at the end of 2023. The addition of a business development opportunity or partnership could potentially accelerate that timeline. Agile Therapeutics is a women's healthcare company dedicated to fulfilling the unmet health needs of today’s women. Our product and product candidates are designed to provide women with contraceptive options that offer freedom from taking a daily pill, without committing to a longer-acting method. Our initial product, Twirla®, (levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol), a transdermal system, is a non-daily prescription contraceptive. Twirla is based on our proprietary transdermal patch technology, called Skinfusion®, which is designed to allow drug delivery through the skin. This post contains sponsored advertising content.

Can This Company’s Research Help Transform Regenerative Medicine As Its Lead Product Receives FDA IND Approval?

Organicell Regenerative Medicine, Inc.

Learn More about Organicell Regenerative Medicine, Inc. by gaining access to the latest research report In the medical community, the popularity of regenerative medicine is reportedly soaring primarily because research around these therapies shows promise in treating a wide range of musculoskeletal pain conditions. Armed with the belief that the human body can heal itself, regenerative medicine treatments like exosome therapy and stem cell therapy are advancing. But regenerative medicine has sometimes been embroiled in controversy beginning in 1981 when scientists discovered ways to derive embryonic stem cells from early mouse embryos. That discovery was followed by a method to derive stem cells from human embryos and grow the cells in the laboratory in 1998. Massive players like Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ: AMGN), Sanofi SA (NASDAQ: SNY), and Gilead Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: GILD) have advanced stem cell research and therapies. Is Exosome Therapy Different? Unlike stem cell therapy, Organicell’s (OTCMKTS: OCEL) exosome therapy doesn't involve using donor cells or umbilical cords. Instead, the exosomes are extracted from full term, planned C Section, Amniotic fluid. The extracted exosome solution is derived from amniotic fluid and contains over 300 soluble proteins as growth factors, cytokines and chemokines, extracellular matrix proteins as fibronectin and collagen, structural molecules as hyaluronic acid, Nanoparticles as extracellular vesicles, exosomes and surfactants proteins, valuable lipids, micro-RNA, messenger-RNA, and cytokines. Exosome therapy, according to experts, is a highly targeted, flexible treatment believed to help inflammatory conditions like COPD, Long Covid, musculoskeletal injuries, osteoarthritis, and chronic pain. What’s the difference between Exosomes and Stem Cells? Try to think of Stem Cells as microchips in a computer. Exosomes are like the software. South Florida-based Organicell Regenerative Medicine Inc. (OTCMKTS: OCEL) is a company that is a pioneer in the exosome space. Their products are designed to operate like software for the computers of our body known as cells. However, the software Organicell uses is naturally occurring and unaltered. Organicell extracts its exosomes from what is believed to be one of the most naturally healing fluids on the planet, amniotic fluid. The software/exosomes in this fluid reminds the body what it used to do when it was young. To put things plainly, the “software” (exosomes) is a set of instructions, data or programs used to operate the “computers” (cells) and execute specific tasks, while a computer-chip (stem cells) are used more as building blocks in regenerative medicine. Potential Benefits The potential benefits of Organicell’s products could be enormous. For example, the company's investigational product Zofin™ is an acellular, non-HCT/P biologic, currently being studied in clinical trials. The company accomplished the difficult task of an approved investigational new drug (IND) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which lead to approved clinical trials.. Zofin™ is derived from perinatal sources and is manufactured to retain the naturally occurring nanoparticles and microRNAs without manipulation or adding or combining any other substance. Zofin™ is currently being studied in FDA Phase I/II clinical trials for COVID-19, Long Covid, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and ready to begin a trial for Osteoarthritis of the knee. Below are the results that were published on the COVID patients treated with Zofin under eIND approval. The important items in the chart are the key biomarkers that measure inflammation: IL-6 and CRP as well as the chest X Rays that show the structural difference in the lungs over time. A Better Approach? Organicell reports that its mission is to be the first company to prove the efficacy of extracellular vesicles (EV's) — a.k.a exosomes — on inflammatory ailments. Organicell has two active FDA approved clinical trials for Long Covid and COPD. The company says through its ground-breaking research in the field of nanotechnology, specifically perinatal-derived EVs, it has created the drug candidate, Zofin, that could be the next frontier of regenerative biologic therapeutics. Organicell’s proprietary product’s biological representation is allogenic amniotic fluid (secreted body fluid, non-HCT/Ps), which is an acellular product derived from human amniotic fluid (HAF). The product contains no addition or combination of any other substance or diluent during production. Moreover, the product quality assurance is seemingly unmatched in the regenerative medicine space. the donor from whom this product was derived has been tested and found negative for the following: HBsAg (Hepatitis B Surface Antigen), HBcAb (hepatitis B core antibody), HCV (hepatitis C antibody), HIV I/II-Ab (Antibody to Human Immunodeficiency Virus Types 1 and 2), Syphilis detection test, HIV NAT (HIV Nucleic Acid Test), and HCV NAT (HCV Nucleic Acid Test). Additional donor screening tests may have been performed on the donor. If additional tests for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C or Syphilis were performed, the results were reviewed and found to be NEGATIVE. Additional tests for other communicable diseases, such as West Nile Virus, T. Cruzi, Cytomegalovirus and Epstein Barr Virus may have been performed. The results of all additional communicable disease tests have been evaluated by the Medical Director and have been found acceptable according to regulations, standards and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Donor screening tests are performed by laboratories certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) and American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) using FDA licensed tests when available performed by VRL Laboratories. The donor is selected based on medical and social history which meets the Standards of the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB) United States Public Health Service (USPHS), and the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Donor suitability was determined by the Manufacturing Facilities’ Medical Directors (Organicell Regenerative Medicine, 1951 NW 7th Ave, Suite 300, Miami, FL 33136). Organicell Factor X is manufactured for clinical use under cGMP-compliant manufacturing facility, to control potency and purity of the product. Organicell Regenerative Medicine, Inc. (OTCQB:OCEL) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company principally focusing on the development of innovative biological therapeutics for the treatment of degenerative diseases and the provision of other related services. The Company's proprietary products are derived from perinatal sources and manufactured to retain the naturally occurring exosomes, hyaluronic acid, and proteins without the addition or combination of any other substance or diluent.
