Onwards and upwards with promising program
Zomer says MXC is showing promising growth potential driven by its pharmaceutical development and medicine sales. “Our strategic focus includes an initial entry into the lucrative US market by submitting IND applications for CimetrA and Cannepil to the US FDA,” he says. “Additionally, we anticipate significant developments stemming from the dose-finding study for CimetrA and the progression of Phase 2 studies for Cannepil.” CimetrA is a phyto medicine based on natural ingredients from curcumin and Boswellia serrata and has demonstrated effectiveness in arresting the cytokine storm in Covid-19 patients in late-stage trials. CannEpil is also a phyto medicine, based on phytocannabinoids currently being investigated for the treatment of refractory epilepsy, which accounts for ~25% of the people diagnosed with epilepsy. “In tandem with our clinical advancements, we foresee the company expanding its sales through the early patient access scheme for CannEpil in Ireland and the UK, while bolstering CimertA sales through partnerships with AMC Pharma in the US and Middle East.”Silver lining in tough year for high growth health stocks
Zomer acknowledges with tighter economic conditions and higher costs of funding it has been a tough year for high growth health stocks, including MXC. However, he says while besides trying to raise money in the UK with very limited success and seeing its share price tumble, MXC has achieved “remarkable milestones over the past year” which are worth noting. “Firstly, we successfully launched Cannepil in the UK market, with the NHS enrolling its first patient in the RASCAS program,” he says. “Additionally, significant progress was made in the clinical development of CimetrA, with the successful completion of Preclinical and Phase 2 studies, positioning us for the planned IND submission to the FDA in the first quarter of 2024.” Zomer says furthermore, MXC secured an additional order of $1 million from AMC Pharma for ArtemiC (an OTC version of CimetrA), with the down payment already received. “In tandem with these two leading drug developments, both clinically and commercially, the company has also made substantial strides on the ground,” he says. “We’ve achieved the completion and commissioning of our state-of-the-art fully automated EU GMP Pharma manufacturing facility in Malta. “Notably, we’ve received approval for research and development in psilocybin new drugs, which will serve as third-party service platforms for other pharmaceutical companies.” This article was developed in collaboration with MGC Pharmaceuticals, a Stockhead advertiser at the time of publishing.
