−Removed: oral therapy for patients with dementia related to mild, moderate, and severe cognitive impairment associated with Alzheimer’s.
−Removed: On August 17, 2021,
−Removed: we announced that we have contracted Altasciences Clinical Kansas (“Altasciences”) to conduct a six-month Phase I relative
−Removed: bioavailability study for AL001 for dementia related to Alzheimer’s beginning in September 2021.
−Removed: The Phase I first-in-human study
−Removed: was for the purpose of determining potential clinically safe and appropriate dosing for AL001 in future studies.
−Removed: The Phase I study investigated
−Removed: the pharmacokinetics (the movement of drug through the body) of lithium following a single dose of AL001 (the “study drug”)
−Removed: compared to a typical single dose of a marketed 300 mg immediate-release lithium carbonate capsule (the “comparator” –
−Removed: currently indicated to treat mood disorders) in healthy male and female subjects.
−Removed: The lithium and salicylate components of AL001 was given
−Removed: within the amounts already approved for use in patients.
−Removed: The purpose of the research study was to test the safety, tolerability, and bioavailability
−Removed: (how much and when drug gets in the body) of the study drug, AL001, compared to the currently marketed formulation of the comparator,
−Removed: lithium carbonate.
−Removed: This was expected to ascertain what AL001 doses should be given, and how often, in subsequent Phase 2 safety and efficacy
−Removed: trials involving Alzheimer’s patients.
−Removed: At least 24 healthy male and female human subjects participated in the Phase I trial.
+Added: We intend to develop
+Added: and commercialize therapeutics that are better than existing treatments and have the potential to significantly improve the lives of individuals
+Added: afflicted by Alzheimer’s, BD, MDD and PTSD.
+Added: To achieve these goals, we are pursuing the following key business strategies:
+Added: · Advance clinical development of AL001 for Alzheimer’s,
+Added: BD, MDD and PTSD treatment;
+Added: · Advance clinical development of ALZN002 for Alzheimer’s
+Added: · Expand our pipeline of pharmaceuticals to include
+Added: additional indications for AL001 and delivery methods;
+Added: · Focus on translational and functional endpoints
+Added: to efficiently develop product candidates;
+Added: · Optimize the value of AL001 and ALZN002 in major
+Added: pipeline consists of two novel therapeutic drug candidates:
+Added: · AL001 - A patented ionic cocrystal technology
+Added: delivering a therapeutic combination of lithium, salicylate and proline through three royalty-bearing exclusive worldwide licenses from
+Added: the University of South Florida Research Foundation, Inc., as licensor (the “Licensor”);
+Added: · ALZN002 - A patented method using a mutant peptide
+Added: sensitized cell as a cell-based therapeutic vaccine that seeks to restore the ability of a patient’s immunological system to combat
+Added: Alzheimer’s through a royalty-bearing exclusive worldwide license from the Licensor.
+Added: Our most advanced product
+Added: candidate (lead product) licensed and in clinical development in humans is AL001, an ionic cocrystal of lithium for the treatment of Alzheimer’s,
+Added: BD, MDD and PTSD.
+Added: Based on our preclinical data involving mice models, AL001 treatment prevented cognitive deficits, depression and irritability
+Added: and is superior in improving associative learning and memory and irritability compared with lithium carbonate treatments, supporting the
+Added: potential of this lithium formulation for the treatment of Alzheimer’s, BD, MDD and PTSD in humans.
+Added: Lithium has been marketed for
+Added: more than 35 years and human toxicology regarding lithium use has been well characterized, potentially mitigating the regulatory burden
+Added: for safety data.
+Added: On May 5, 2022, we initiated a multiple-dose,
+Added: steady-state, double-blind, ascending dose safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic clinical trial of AL001 in patients with mild to moderate
+Added: Alzheimer’s and healthy subjects.
+Added: We completed the Phase IIA clinical trial patient dosing in March 2023 and announced positive
+Added: topline data in June 2023.
+Added: We announced that we
+Added: successfully identified a maximum tolerated dose (“MTD”) for development of AL001 from a multiple-ascending dose study as
+Added: assessed by an independent safety review committee.
+Added: This dose, providing lithium at a lithium carbonate equivalent dose of 240 mg 3-times
+Added: daily (“TID”), is designed to be unlikely to require lithium therapeutic drug monitoring (“TDM”).
+Added: Also, this MTD
+Added: is risk mitigated for the purpose of treating fragile populations, such as Alzheimer’s patients.
+Added: Lithium is a commonly prescribed drug for manic
+Added: episodes in BD type 1 as well as maintenance therapy of BD in patients with a history of manic episodes.
+Added: Lithium is also prescribed off-label
+Added: for MDD, BD and treatment of PTSD, among other disorders.
+Added: Lithium was the first mood stabilizer approved by the U.S.
+Added: Food and Drug Administration
+Added: (“FDA”) and is still a first-line treatment option (considered the “gold standard”) but is underutilized perhaps
+Added: because of the need for TDM.
+Added: Lithium was the first drug that required TDM by regulatory authorities in product labelling because the effective
+Added: and safe range of therapeutic drug blood concentrations is narrow and well defined for treatment of BD when using lithium salts.
+Added: above this range can be toxic, and below can impair effectiveness.
+Added: Based on the results
+Added: from our Phase IIA MAD study, we plan to initiate two safety and efficacy clinical trials in subjects with mild to moderate dementia of
+Added: the Alzheimer’s type.
+Added: Additionally, we intend to investigate the potential of AL001 for patients suffering from BD, MDD and PTSD
+Added: by submitting Investigational New Drug (“IND”) applications to the FDA for these indications.
+Added: The IND for BD was filed in
+Added: August 2023 and the INDs for MDD and PTSD are expected to be filed by the end of 2023.
+Added: After FDA permission to proceed on the INDs, we
+Added: intend to initiate clinical trials at this MTD to determine relative increased lithium levels in the brain compared to a marketed lithium
+Added: salt for BD, MDD and PTSD, based on published mouse studies that predict that lithium can be given at lower doses for equivalent therapeutic
+Added: benefit when treating with AL001.
+Added: For example, the goal is to replace a 300 mg TID lithium carbonate dose for treatment of BD with a 240
+Added: mg TID AL001 lithium equivalent, which represents a daily decrease of 20% of lithium given to a patient.
+Added: We submitted a pre-IND
+Added: meeting request for ALZN002 and supporting briefing documents to the Center for Biological Evaluation and Research of the FDA on July
+Added: We received a written response relating to the pre-IND from the FDA providing a path for Alzamend’s planned clinical development
+Added: of ALZN002 on September 30, 2021.
+Added: The FDA agreed to allow Alzamend to submit an IND to conduct a combined Phase I/II study.
On September 28, 2022,
−Removed: 2021, we announced that the first group of healthy participants were dosed in a six-month Phase I relative bioavailability study for AL001
−Removed: for dementia related to Alzheimer’s.
−Removed: On March 28, 2022, we announced receipt of full data set from the Phase I clinical trial for
−Removed: The full data set builds upon topline data previously reported on December 17, 2021.
−Removed: This data affirmed that dose-adjusted relative
−Removed: bioavailability analysis of the rate and extent of lithium absorption in plasma indicate that AL001 as 150 mg dosage is bioavailability
−Removed: to the marketed 300 mg lithium carbonate product and the shapes of the lithium plasma concentration versus time curves are similar.
−Removed: salicylate plasma concentrations are observed to be well tolerated and consistently within safe limits and the safety profiles of both
−Removed: AL001 and the marketed lithium carbonate capsule were benign.
−Removed: During Phase I first-in-human trial, participants
−Removed: received a single dose of AL001 containing lithium in an amount equivalent to 150 mg lithium carbonate;
−Removed: this is the dose proposed by the
−Removed: inventors as likely appropriate for Alzheimer’s treatment when given three times daily (“TID”).
−Removed: Currently, marketed
−Removed: immediate-release lithium carbonate 300 mg are given TID;
−Removed: for example, lithium carbonate 300 mg TID is a dose commonly used for bipolar
−Removed: affective disorders.
−Removed: It can be difficult to set the appropriate dose of lithium carbonate and other lithium products due to the small
−Removed: margin between effective and toxic blood levels and to avoid side effects or inadequate treatment outcomes.
−Removed: We see the possibility of
−Removed: providing the benefits from lithium at up to 50% of the currently approved lithium carbonate dosage, with the potential for better outcomes
−Removed: and with elimination of the need for lithium therapeutic drug monitoring.
−Removed: Moreover, the data confirms AL001’s potential as a replacement
−Removed: of the current lithium-based treatments and may provide a treatment for over 40 million Americans suffering from Alzheimer’s and
−Removed: other neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders.
−Removed: Such findings may allow us to design a development
−Removed: program that will potentially reduce the amount of new data generated to support approval.
−Removed: Bioequivalence may have utility for AL001 when
−Removed: seeking approval for the indications of currently marketed lithium products, and for new indications as a benchmark for safety.
−Removed: the systemic pharmacokinetic similarity to marketed immediate-release lithium carbonate products, AL001 may be dosed TID in the planned
−Removed: Phase II study, a multiple ascending dose safety study in Alzheimer’s patients.
−Removed: In addition, we are pursuing investigational new
−Removed: drug applications with the FDA for BD, MDD, and PTSD.
−Removed: On April 28, 2022, we announced that Ault
−Removed: Lending, LLC (“AL”) has made an additional investment in our company.
−Removed: On March 28, 2022, we announced receipt of the full
−Removed: data set from Phase I clinical trial for AL001.
−Removed: Based on the achievement of this milestone, under the March 12, 2021, securities purchase
−Removed: agreement, we sold an additional 2,666,667 shares of common stock to AL for $4 million, or $1.50 per share, and issued to AL warrants
−Removed: to acquire 1,333,333 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.00 per share.
−Removed: 2022, we announced that the first patient with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s was dosed in a 12-month Phase IIA multiple
−Removed: ascending dose (“MAD”) study for dementia related to Alzheimer’s.
−Removed: The Phase IIA study will evaluate the safety and
−Removed: tolerability of AL001 under multiple-dose, steady-state conditions and determine the maximum tolerated dose in patients diagnosed
−Removed: with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s.
−Removed: Lithium has been well characterized for safety and is approved/marketed in multiple
−Removed: formulations for bipolar affective disorders.
−Removed: Lithium dosing for the MAD cohorts is based on a fraction of the usual dose for
−Removed: treatment of bipolar affective disorder (i.e., AL001 lithium content at a lithium carbonate equivalent of 300 mg TID, daily total of
−Removed: 900 mg), with the target dose for Alzheimer’s treatment at half of that lithium carbonate equivalent value (150 mg TID, daily
−Removed: total of 450 mg).
−Removed: In each cohort, consisting of six active and two placebo patients (as per randomization), multiple ascending doses
−Removed: will be administered TID for 14 days under fasted conditions (at least 1 hour before or 4 hours after meals) up to
−Removed: tolerability/safety limits.
−Removed: The lithium and salicylate components of AL001 will be given within the amounts already approved for use
−Removed: Up to 40 subjects will complete the Phase IIA trial.
−Removed: The maximum tolerated dose will then be used for further studies.
−Removed: On October 5, 2022, we announced the addition of a healthy adult subject cohort to the MAD study and that the first healthy patient
−Removed: On May 17, 2022,
−Removed: we announced submission of a Pre-IND meeting request for AL001 and supporting briefing documents to the FDA for the treatment of BD, MDD
−Removed: On July 18, 2022, we announced receipt of a written response from the FDA to our meeting request relating to our Pre-IND application.
−Removed: The FDA’s response provided a path for our planned clinical development of AL001 for the treatment of BD, MDD and PTSD.
−Removed: the FDA’s written feedback, we anticipate filing INDs for BD, MDD and PTSD upon the completion of the current Phase IIA MAD study.
−Removed: This will allow us to initiate Phase II clinical trials for all three new indications.
−Removed: We have an additional preclinical candidate for Alzheimer’s,
−Removed: ALZN002, which has transitioned from early-stage development to an extensive program of preclinical study and evaluation, which was completed
−Removed: on May 31, 2021.
−Removed: This was followed by a comprehensive report prepared by Charles River Laboratories, Inc., an independent preclinical
−Removed: service provider, received on July 23, 2021.
−Removed: Our preclinical program included a toxicologic evaluation, histopathology study and brain
−Removed: beta amyloid analysis and was expanded to include an immunoglobulin analysis and biodistribution study.
−Removed: On July 30, 2021, we announced that we submitted
−Removed: a pre-IND meeting request for ALZN002 and supporting briefing documents to the Center for Biological Evaluation and Research of the FDA.
−Removed: On September 30, 2021, we announced that we have received a written response to our meeting request relating to our Type B Pre-IND application
−Removed: from the FDA providing a path for our planned clinical development of ALZN002.
−Removed: ALZN002 is a patented method using a mutant-peptide sensitized
−Removed: cell as a cell-based therapeutic vaccine that seeks to restore the ability of a patient’s immunological system to combat Alzheimer’s.
−Removed: Preclinical work supports ALZN002 being associated with a positive anti-inflammatory response and a decrease in brain amyloid contents.
−Removed: Based on ALZN002’s positive toxicology results, the biologic nature of this product and the urgent need to deliver treatments for
−Removed: Alzheimer’s to patients, we proposed, and the FDA agreed, to conduct a combined Phase I/II study.
−Removed: On September 29, 2022, we announced that
−Removed: we submitted an IND application to the FDA for ALZN002 to conduct a Phase I/IIA clinical trial.
−Removed: The purpose of this trial is to assess
−Removed: the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of multiple ascending doses of ALZN002 compared with that of placebo in 20-30 subjects with mild
−Removed: to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer’s type.
−Removed: Also, the trial is designed to determine the optimal dosage of ALZN002, allowing for
−Removed: induction of anti-Amyloid-beta antibody responses that can target Alzheimer’s-associated brain proteins while maintaining safety.
−Removed: The primary goal of this initial clinical trial is to determine an appropriate dose of ALZN002 for treatment of patients with Alzheimer’s
−Removed: in a larger Phase IIB efficacy and safety clinical trial (ALZN002-02), which we expect to initiate within three months of receiving data
−Removed: from the initial trial.
−Removed: On October 31, 2022 we announced receipt
−Removed: of a “study may proceed” letter from the FDA for a phase I/IIA clinical trial under our IND application for ALZN002 to treat
−Removed: mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer’s type.
−Removed: We are advancing the process and expect that the first patient will be dosed
−Removed: in the first quarter of 2023.
−Removed: The continuation of our current plan of
−Removed: operations with respect to completing our IND applications and conducting the series of human clinical trials for each of our therapeutics
−Removed: requires us to raise additional capital to fund our operations.
−Removed: Because our working capital requirements
−Removed: depend upon numerous factors, including the progress of our preclinical and clinical testing, timing and cost of obtaining regulatory
−Removed: approvals, changes in levels of resources that we devote to the development of manufacturing and marketing capabilities, competitive and
−Removed: technological advances, status of competitors, and our ability to establish collaborative arrangements with other organizations, we will
−Removed: require additional financing to fund future operations.
+Added: we submitted an IND application to the FDA for ALZN002 and received a “study may proceed” letter on October 31, 2022.
+Added: product candidate is an immunotherapy vaccine designed to treat mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer’s type.
+Added: proprietary “active” immunotherapy product, which means it is produced by each patient’s immune system.
+Added: of autologous DCs that are activated white blood cells taken from each individual patient so that they can be engineered outside of the
+Added: body to attack Alzheimer’s-related amyloid-beta proteins.
+Added: These DCs are pulsed with a novel amyloid-beta peptide (E22W) designed
+Added: to bolster the ability of the patient’s immune system to combat Alzheimer’s;
+Added: the goal being to foster tolerance to treatment
+Added: for safety purposes while stimulating the immune system to reduce the brain’s beta-amyloid protein burden, resulting in reduced
+Added: Alzheimer’s signs and symptoms.
+Added: Compared to passive immunization treatment approaches that use foreign blood products (such as monoclonal
+Added: antibodies), active immunization with ALZN002 is anticipated to offer a more robust and long-lasting effect on the clearance of amyloid.
+Added: This could provide a safer approach due to its reliance on autologous immune components, using each individual patient’s own white
+Added: blood cells rather than foreign cells and/or blood products.
+Added: On April 3, 2023, we
+Added: announced the initiation of a Phase I/IIA clinical trial for ALZN002 to treat mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer’s type.
+Added: The purpose of this trial is to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of multiple ascending doses of ALZN002 compared with that
+Added: of placebo in 20-30 subjects with mild to moderate morbidity.
+Added: The primary goal of this clinical trial is to determine an appropriate dose
+Added: of ALZN002 for treatment of patients with Alzheimer’s in a larger Phase IIB efficacy and safety clinical trial, which Alzamend expects
+Added: to initiate within three months of receiving data from the initial trial.
+Added: The continuation of our current plan of operations
