Pharmaceuticals Announces Positive Regulatory Update for Selonabant in Acute Cannabis-Induced Toxicity in Children and Capital Raise
Texas (December 23, 2024) - Anebulo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANEB), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing
novel solutions for people suffering from acute cannabinoid-induced toxicities (the "Company" or "Anebulo"),
today announced a positive regulatory update and the close of a capital raise.
In a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study, Anebulo enrolled 134 adult subjects challenged with oral delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinoil ("THC"), oral selonabant blocked or reversed key CNS effects of THC, establishing the clinical path for intravenous selonabant for a much-needed targeted therapy for rapidly reversing the serious and life-threatening consequences of acute cannabis-induced toxicity in children
Anebulo met with FDA to discuss the development of intravenous selonabant and the initial plan for clinical testing
FDA acknowledged the unmet need for a treatment for children exposed to cannabis toxicity, and proposed a close, ongoing collaboration to efficiently advance the selonabant program for the pediatric indication
Anebulo plans to begin its Phase I SAD study of IV selonabant in healthy adults in 1H25
Anebulo entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement with 22NW, a company controlled by one of its directors, Nantahala Capital and an additional existing investor for the issuance and sale of 15.2 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $15 million in a private placement offering priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules
In exchange for purchasing $10 million of shares of common stock in the private placement, Anebulo intends to modify the Loan and Security Agreement (LSA) that was entered into with 22NW and JFL Capital Management by reducing the maximum loan size to approximately $3 million, which reduces the LSA to just under the securitization threshold, and the removal of any securitization
are grateful to have the continued support from current investors. Having secured such meaningful financing without having to issue stock
at a discount to the market or include warrant coverage is indicative of the confidence these highly respected institutional investors
have in the company's future," commented Richie Cunningham, Chief Executive Officer of Anebulo.
continued, "In recent interactions, FDA confirmed our belief that there is an unmet need for a treatment for children exposed to
cannabis toxicity and suggested a close collaboration with Anebulo to facilitate an efficient development plan for this important pediatric
condition. If approved, we believe selonabant has the potential to offer a much-needed targeted therapy for rapidly reversing the serious
and life-threatening consequences of acute cannabis-induced toxicity in children. To validate this market opportunity, we hired a top
five pharmaceutical consulting firm to complete a market assessment. This team of experts evaluated and confirmed acute cannabis induced
toxicity in children as a viable commercial opportunity. In addition, based on an incidence less than 200,000 cases per year we also
believe this to be a rare pediatric condition." The private placement is expected to close no later than December 24th,
subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The private placement is being conducted in accordance with applicable Nasdaq
rules and was priced at $0.99 per share to satisfy the "Minimum Price" requirement (as defined in the Nasdaq rule).
connection with the close of the private placement, the Company will amend its LSA that was entered into in November 2023. The LSA allowed
the Company to borrow up to $10 million, and to date, no funds have been borrowed. The amended loan agreement will reduce the borrowing
limit to approximately $3 million and will be unsecured.
Selonabant (ANEB-001)
Company's lead product candidate is selonabant (ANEB-001), a potent, small molecule antagonist of the cannabinoid receptor type-1
("CB1"), under development to address the unmet medical need for a specific antidote for acute cannabis-induced toxicity,
including acute cannabinoid intoxication ("ACI") in adults and unintentional cannabis poisoning in pediatric subjects. The
Company anticipates that selonabant will rapidly reverse key symptoms of cannabis toxicity. Selonabant has been successfully formulated
for oral administration in clinical studies and as a potential IV treatment. In a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study in adult subjects challenged
with oral delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol ("THC") (www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05282797), oral selonabant blocked or
reversed key CNS effects of THC. Selonabant was well tolerated in this study and there were no serious adverse events. In the open-label
extension of the study, THC challenge doses of 40 mg and 60 mg were well-tolerated when dosed in combination with oral selonabant, and
all treatment-related adverse events were mild and transient. The prior Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies of oral selonabant have together
enrolled a total of 250 subjects, of which 189 received selonabant. Selonabant is protected by two issued patents covering various methods
of use of the compound and composition of matter of the crystalline form of selonabant. Anebulo also has multiple pending applications
covering various methods of use of the compound and delivery systems. An observational study in patients presenting to Emergency Departments
with cannabis toxicity is currently ongoing. The study is intended to determine concentrations of cannabinoids and metabolites in plasma
and gather information on signs and symptoms, patients' disposition and selected subjective assessments.
Anebulo Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing novel solutions for people suffering from acute cannabinoid
intoxication and unintentional cannabis intoxication. Its lead product candidate, selonabant, has completed a Phase 2 clinical trial
evaluating its utility in blocking and reversing the negative effects of acute cannabinoid intoxication in healthy adults challenged
with oral THC. Rather than proceeding directly with Phase 3 studies of oral selonabant in adults with ACI, the Company is prioritizing
the advancement of a selonabant IV formulation as a potential treatment for pediatric patients with acute cannabis-induced toxicity,
which it believes offers the potential for a faster timeline to approval relative to the adult oral product. Anebulo is currently scaling
up the intravenous formulation for initial clinical safety studies. Selonabant is a competitive antagonist at the human CB1 receptor.
