Incannex Granted FDA Fast Track Designation
for IHL-42X in Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
MELBOURNE, Australia and NEW YORK, USA - December 3, 2025
- Incannex Healthcare Inc. (Nasdaq: IXHL), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative combination therapies,
announces that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation for IHL-42X, the Company's oral fixed-dose
combination product candidate for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
The Fast Track designation was supported by promising safety, efficacy,
and pharmacokinetic results from the three clinical trials completed to date within the IHL-42X development program. These include the
Company's successful Phase 2 "RePOSA" study demonstrating statistically significant reductions in Apnea-Hypopnea Index
(AHI), with individual reductions of up to 83%, outstanding patient-reported outcomes, and an excellent safety profile.
Fast Track designation is granted by the FDA to drug candidates that
treat serious conditions and address unmet medical needs with the aim of making important new therapies available to patients sooner.
Under the Fast Track program, IHL-42X will now benefit from:
Incannex expects to receive detailed written feedback from the FDA
in response to its Phase 2 data package and clinical development strategy. The Company expects to provide further updates regarding the
FDA's guidance, the agreed next steps, and the proposed path toward late-stage development once it has received and reviewed this
Comment from Mark Bleackley, Chief Scientific Officer
"We are delighted with the FDA's decision to grant Fast
Track designation to IHL-42X for OSA. This supports the potential for IHL-42X to address the unmet need for an oral pharmacotherapy for
OSA patients. OSA is a serious disease with impacts on both short- and long-term aspects of patient health and quality of life. We look
forward to continuing to work with the FDA on the development of IHL-42X."
Comment from Joel Latham, President & CEO
"We believe Fast Track designation for IHL-42X is one of the
most significant regulatory milestones in Incannex's history. OSA affects millions of people globally, yet there remains no approved
oral pharmacotherapy, a gap we are determined to close. Following our exceptional Phase 2 results, this designation validates the strength
of our data package and the potential for IHL-42X to transform the treatment landscape. We believe the designation also provides a clear,
expedited regulatory pathway, allowing us to accelerate development and capitalise on the pillars we have built throughout the year, including
our recent Nasdaq extension. We look forward to working closely with the FDA as we advance IHL-42X toward late-stage development and ultimately
to patients who urgently need new options."
