InMed Pharmaceuticals — INM-755 trial full enrollment expected this quarter

InMed Pharmaceuticals recently announced that the first human clinical trial (755-101-HV) of its lead program, INM-755 for the treatment of epidermolysis bullosa (EB), is currently around 50% enrolled with full enrollment expected this quarter and data in H220. This trial is testing two strengths of INM-755 cream on the intact skin of 22 healthy volunteers. The company expects to file a clinical trial application (CTA) for a second trial (755-102-HV) this quarter with initiation in Q220. This upcoming trial would test INM-755 on eight healthy volunteers with small wounds.

The clinical program for INM-755 has begun

InMed is currently progressing through the planned Phase I program for INM-755, which consists of two separate trials (755-101-HV and 755-102-HV), one in healthy volunteers with normal, intact skin and the second with healthy volunteers with small wounds. A Phase I/II in approximately 12–15 EB patients is expected to begin in early 2021 following additional IND/CTA filings globally.

Data presented at EB World Congress

The company recently presented preclinical data at the 2020 EB World Congress in London, which indicated that cannabinol (CBN), which is the active ingredient in INM-755, has an effect on pain and inflammation that will likely be important in the treatment of EB (as well as other dermatologic indications). Also, CBN may significantly upregulate the keratin K15, which may be able to compensate for a malfunctioning K14 and combine with K5 to form the necessary adhesion between the epidermis and dermis. This could potentially lead to greater skin integrity and fewer blisters in EB simplex patients with K14 mutations.

INM-088 development progressing

INM-088 for glaucoma is currently in multiple formulation and pharmacology studies. A final formulation is expected to be selected in Q120. IND-enabling preclinical toxicology studies are expected to start in the second half of the year.

Valuation: C$256m or C$1.49 per basic share

We have adjusted our valuation, from C$259m or C$1.50 per basic share (C$1.24 per diluted share), to C$256m or C$1.49 per basic share (C$1.22 per diluted share). The change is due to a lower cash balance. InMed had C$12.0m in cash and marketable securities at 31 December and we believe this provides a runway into FY21.

Quarterly update

InMed continues progress with its Phase I program in healthy volunteers, with trial 755-101-HV approximately halfway through enrollment, which is expected to complete by the end of Q120 with data in H220. As a reminder, the Phase I program consists of two separate trials (see Exhibit 1). Trial 755-101-HV is enrolling 22 healthy volunteers with normal, intact skin and will evaluate the systemic and local safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of two dosage strengths of INM-755 cream. Trial 755-102-HV will have around eight healthy volunteers with small wounds to evaluate the local safety of the product. The small blister wounds will be created at the clinical site and will largely mimic the types of wounds typically seen in EB simplex patients. A CTA for trial 755-102-HV is expected this current quarter with trial initiation expected in Q220. A Phase I/II in approximately 12–15 EB patients is expected to begin in early 2021 following additional IND/CTA filings globally. Note that all these trials will be double blind and vehicle controlled.

Importantly, the safety studies can be used as the basis for a clinical trial program in other indications as INM-755 may have applications in other dermatologic indications involving inflammation and pain. The active ingredient of INM-755, the minor cannabinoid CBN, has been shown in a variety of published preclinical studies to have an effect on pain,1 inflammation (due to the inhibition of the expression of cytokines)2 and bacterial infection.3 In addition, and recently presented at the 2020 EB World Congress in London, InMed has demonstrated in its own preclinical studies an effect on both pain and inflammation. In pain, InMed’s research has demonstrated a positive impact in nerve growth factor (NGF) induced pain models in rats. With regard to inflammation, CBN was tested on IL-8 and MMP-9, markers of inflammation suspected of having links with chronic cutaneous inflammation. Depending on dose, IL-8 was reduced by 35–54% and MMP-9 was reduced by 22–40%.

INM-088 for glaucoma is advancing and is currently in multiple formulation and pharmacology studies. A final formulation is expected to be selected in Q120. IND-enabling preclinical toxicology studies are expected to start in the second half of the year. CBN is also the active ingredient in INM-088 and has been shown to have efficacy in glaucoma. In cats, CBN significantly reduced intraocular pressure (IOP) by around 27% after nine days.4 If INM-088 is able to replicate this effect in humans, efficacy would be in the realm of current therapies, which, while efficacious, have toxicity issues and low patient compliance (estimated at 41–78% of patients5).

With regards to InMed’s E. coli-based biosynthesis process, its development continues to move forward. InMed is also investigating an alternative process (the exact nature of which is undisclosed) that may have advantages in terms of cost and yield, and will decide which approach to advance in the coming weeks.

We have adjusted our valuation, from C$259m or C$1.50 per basic share (C$1.24 per diluted share), to C$256m or C$1.49 per basic share (C$1.22 per diluted share). The change is due to a lower cash balance.

Financials

InMed reported an operating loss of C$3.4m in its fiscal second quarter (the quarter ending 31 December 2019), up from C$2.9m in the same quarter in the previous year due to the progression of its pipeline. R&D expenses were C$1.9m for the quarter, up from C$0.9m in the same quarter in the previous year. We have lowered our expectations for R&D spending by C$0.7m for both FY20 and FY21 as the run rate was lower than we expected. We also lowered our SG&A estimate by C$0.1m for both years, again due to slightly lower than expected spending.

InMed had C$12.0m in cash and marketable securities at 31 December and we believe this provides a runway into FY21. We continue to forecast the company will raise C$20m over the next two years to fund operations, which we model as illustrative long-term debt.

Diversified Gas and Oil (DGO) has announced its Q319 and Q419 production, which averaged 91.1kboed and 96.3kboed in each quarter.
