BioMedNewsBreaks – India Globalization Capital Inc. (NYSE American: IGC) Commences Trial Evaluating IGC-AD1 for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s-Related Symptoms
Dec 2, 2022
India Globalization Capital (NYSE American: IGC) announced that it has begun “A Phase 2, Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Trial of the Safety and Efficacy of IGC-AD1 on Agitation in Participants with Dementia due to Alzheimer’s Disease.” According to the announcement, the company has commenced the phase 2 study at two U.S. sites and plans to add between three to five additional sites in the United States, Canada and possibly South America. “We believe that IGC-AD1 has the potential to revolutionize the treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease as the first and only low-dose natural THC-based formulation candidate currently undergoing FDA trials,” said Ram Mukunda, CEO of IGC. “Approximately 8 million people are affected by Alzheimer’s in North America and over 55 million worldwide. We believe the diverse population we have selected for this study will allow us to accurately look at both the impact of variations of the gene CYP2C9 that metabolizes THC, as well as APOE e4 a gene that increases the risk of developing Alzheimer’s. This data will help us to further understand the metabolism of IGC-AD1 for a diverse population, which is important in treating a disease that has a global impact like Alzheimer’s. Through these and further trials, we look forward to establishing IGC-AD1’s efficacy in treating the symptoms related to Alzheimer’s Disease.”
