About
Overview
InMed is a clinical-stage company developing a pipeline of cannabinoid-based pharmaceutical drug candidates, initially focused on the therapeutic benefits of cannabinol (CBN), in diseases with high unmet medical need. The Company is dedicated to delivering new therapeutic alternatives to patients that may benefit from cannabinoid-based pharmaceutical drugs.
InMed employs a highly scientific approach to designing and developing medicines, which will help unlock the full potential of cannabinoid pharmaceuticals.
In parallel to InMed’s therapeutic development programs in skin and ocular diseases, InMed is developing a cannabinoid synthesis manufacturing system called IntegraSynTM to produce cost-effective, pharmaceutical-grade, bio-identical cannabinoids. Plant extraction is not feasible to meet long-term pharmaceutical demand of cannabinoid therapeutics, particularly rare cannabinoids. InMed products are designed to be bio-identical to the naturally occurring cannabinoids and the process envisioned to offer cost and time savings, and superior ease, control and quality of manufacturing when compared to alternative methods.
- INM-755, our lead product, is under development for the treatment of epidermolysis bullosa (“EB”), which is a severe genetic skin disorder. InMed has filed Clinical Trial Applications in several countries as part of a global Phase 2 clinical trial of INM-755 (cannabinol) cream in EB. According to various analyst reports, it is believed that there are an estimated 50,000 EB patients in North America, Europe and Japan;
- INM-088 is our product in preclinical development for the treatment of glaucoma, the second leading cause of blindness in the developed world.
Our Values
InMed aims to transform patients’ lives by developing safe and effective cannabinoid-based therapeutics across a spectrum of diseases with high unmet medical needs. We intend to accomplish this goal by integrating the central components of our one-of-a-kind business model:
- Exploring the potential of several of the 100+ cannabinoid compounds, NOT just THC and CBD;
- Selecting specific cannabinoids (or combinations thereof) that have the potential to play a role in regulating specific diseases; and
- Manufacturing cannabinoids such that they are biologically identical to those produced by the plant itself.
History
Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, InMed’s strategic focus is the development of prescription, cannabinoid-based pharmaceutical products. We commenced our current activities in May, 2014, upon the acquisition of a privately-held British Columbia based biopharmaceutical company focused on the drug discovery and development of cannabinoid compounds.
In the ensuing years, our leadership team has taken numerous steps and corporate actions to de-risk and solidify our capital structure, fortify our cash position and liquidity, assemble a world class leadership team with a successful track record in drug development, deploy and advance our cannabinoid-based pipeline of drug candidates across a spectrum of diseases with high unmet medical needs and strengthen our potentially game-changing cannabinoid synthesis manufacturing system.
Today, InMed is acutely focused on building a technologically advanced cannabinoid pharmaceutical company unlike any others.
