BETHESDA, MD, UNITED STATES, July 8, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Bruce F. Mackler, Chairman, Ethicann Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will be presenting on the topic “Investing in Health & the Healthcare Sector – Where are the Opportunities?” held at the Gurneys Newport Resort & Marina. “I believe that one of the very promising opportunities in today’s healthcare sector is in the reformulation of selected high-value and high-demand therapies into orally disintegrating tablets, allowing patients safer ‘self-dose’ for their medical conditions,” said Bruce F. Mackler, Ph.D., J.D., Ethicann’s Chairman— Bruce F Mackler, Ph.D., J.D.
Ethicann is a drug company with multiple opportunities to make safer and easier to use new drug copies of drugs with problems & obtain rapid approvals. Ethicann uses Zydis oral dissolving tablet (ODT) delivery that removes the 50% ethanol/dose and improves taste of a MS spasticity spray drug that is approved in 29 countries. EPI-002 is a safer, under the tongue drug, easier for spastic patients to use than an ethanol spray and tastes good. Manufacturing of its proprietary EPI-002 (THC 2.7 mg:CBD 2.5mg) Zydis® to treat multiple sclerosis (MS) spasticity is starting with approval possible in 2025; once approved Ethicann believes within 2-3 years it can reach 40% of the European MS spasticity market, with FDA approval under the 505b2 NDA possible in 3-4 years. EPI-002 has IP and fits within existing reimbursement codes. The three approved MS spasticity drugs have safety issues - FDA Black Box Safety Warnings.
Catalent’s proprietary Zydis drug delivery technology is used in over 20 drugs approved in 60 countries and is protected by a strong international patent portfolio. Ethicann intends to use the Zydis ODT sublingual technology for its entire pipeline of cannabinoid-based drugs, to treat pediatric epilepsy chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). This rapid-to-market reformulation strategy avoids the traditional 7 to 12 years of drug development before regulatory approval prior to becoming available, significantly reducing the development timeline.
Business Summary: Ethicann (Canada/US) is an Emerging Global Leader Developing High-Value Cannabinoid-Based Ethical Drug Therapies and has positioned itself as a cost efficient pharmaceutical development company, using established partners to source ultra-purified Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and the proprietary sublingual Zydis orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) technology. Ethicann is leveraging these partnerships to formulate and further develop cannabinoid-based pharmaceutical drug products and avoid deploying capital in building and fully staffing its own facilities. This business reformulation strategy coupled with the use of abbreviated regulatory approval pathways in various countries will also be used for rapid development of its Zydis-based pipeline drugs to treat other clinical indications.
