About INM-750.  INM-750 is a proprietary, topical cannabinoid product candidate targeted as a therapy in epidermolysis bullosa (EB) and other potential dermatological and wound-healing applications. It has been specifically designed with the intent to: (i) modify the underlying cause of the disease in certain patients with EB Simplex (EBS, the most common form of EB), and (ii) to treat the major symptoms of the disease in all patients with EB. Preclinical data generated previously demonstrates that INM-750 may have a significant impact on certain symptoms of EB (which may include improvement of wound area to promote healing, reduction in pain, itch and inflammation, and providing antimicrobial activity). These disease hallmarks are key therapeutic targets for the effective treatment of EB as well as several other dermatological conditions. Additionally, our data indicate that INM-750 may have an impact on the underlying disease by increasing the production of certain proteins, called keratins, in the skin.

About Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).  EB is a group of rare diseases that cause fragile, blistering skin.  The blisters may appear in response to minor injury, even from heat, rubbing, scratching or adhesive tape.  In severe cases, the blisters may occur inside the body, such as the lining of the mouth or the stomach.  Most types of epidermolysis bullosa are inherited.  The condition usually presents in infancy or early childhood.  Epidermolysis bullosa has no cure.

About INM-085.  InMed is developing a stimulus-responsive, nanoparticle-laden vehicle for controlled delivery of ophthalmic drugs into the aqueous humor of the eye. The first application of this delivery vehicle will be for INM-085 as a cannabinoid-based topical therapy targeting reduction of the intraocular pressure associated with glaucoma as well as being designed to serve as a neuro-protectant to the retinal ganglion cells. INM-085 is intended for application as a once-per-day eye drop administered immediately prior to the patient’s bedtime, intending to assist in reducing non-adherence with current glaucoma therapies. Additionally, this novel, proprietary delivery system for ocular drugs may also play an important role in enabling other companies’ proprietary ocular drug candidates or re-invigorating the commercial potential of off-patent products that would benefit from a once-a-day dosing regimen.

About Glaucoma.  Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, which is vital to good vision.  This damage is often caused by an abnormally high pressure in your eye.  It is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide.  It can occur at any age but is more common in older adults.  The most common form of glaucoma has no warning signs.  The effect is so gradual that you may not notice a change in vision until the condition is at an advanced stage.  Vision loss due to glaucoma can’t be recovered.
