- Demonstrated bioavailability of IHL-42X, Incannex’s proprietary mixture formulation, confirming supply of each dronabinol and acetazolamide
- Achieved comparable PK and equal whole drug publicity ranges of IHL-42X and the reference listed medication (RLD) for dronabinol and acetazolamide, constructing a scientific bridge to established security and toxicology information with the potential to help a future FDA 505(b)(2) new drug software (NDA)
- Pharmacokinetic outcomes for IHL-42X will inform evaluation of anticipated Part 2/3 information assessing IHL-42X in sufferers with obstructive sleep apnea

NEW YORK and MELBOURNE, Australia, Jan. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Incannex Healthcare Inc. (Nasdaq: IXHL), (Incannex), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical firm main the best way in creating mixture medicines, at present introduced constructive topline outcomes from a accomplished pharmacokinetics (PK) and security examine of IHL-42X, a novel, oral fixed-dose mixture of acetazolamide and dronabinol for the therapy of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
The topline IHL-42X PK findings we’re reporting at present present information essential to help a 505(b)(2) software in accordance with FDA steering, assuming continued constructive outcomes from our Part 2 and three medical trials, mentioned Mark Bleackley, Ph.D., Incannex’s Chief Scientific Officer. The trial outcomes are in step with our expectations and the targets for IHL-42X, a novel, oral fixed-dose mixture therapeutic.
The examine confirmed bioavailability of IHL-42X, demonstrating supply of each dronabinol and acetazolamide. The PK profile of IHL-42X was much like these noticed for the respective RLDs, together with equal whole publicity ranges noticed for the drug molecules. Moreover, administration of IHL-42X with meals, in distinction to fasted circumstances, indicated no substantial meals impact on total publicity to acetazolamide. Per what is thought for the RLD, a rise in total publicity to THC was noticed when IHL-42X was administered with meals in comparison with fasted state. No critical opposed occasions have been reported through the examine. All however one Therapy-Emergent Opposed Occasion (TEAE) was reported to be gentle or average. The proportion of topics reporting a minimum of one TEAE on the IHL-42X fasted interval (57.4%) was much like the dronabinol fasted interval (52.1%). Fewer topics reported TEAEs through the acetazolamide fasted therapy interval (37.8%). Meals didn’t have a considerable impact on the variety of topics reporting TEAEs for IHL-42X, with 57.4% fasted vs 58.8% fed.
This information establishes a scientific bridge to the reference listed medication (RLD), probably enabling the Firm to leverage present security and toxicology information in a FDA 505(b)2 new drug software for IHL-42X, and help within the evaluation of the worldwide Part 2/3 RePOSA trial.
The examine was designed to evaluate the security and pharmacokinetics of IHL-42X, a novel mixture formulation, as in comparison with its respective FDA reference listed medication. Performed as a randomized, four-period crossover examine in wholesome volunteers at two websites in Australia, the trial concerned 125 individuals, 114 of whom accomplished all therapy durations. Every therapy interval concerned the administration of one in all 4 regimens: IHL-42X (dronabinol 5 mg, acetazolamide 250 mg) in fasted or fed state, dronabinol (5 mg) in a fasted state, or acetazolamide (250 mg) in a fasted state. Topics have been assigned to one in all 4 sequences, with every sequence following a definite order.
About IHL-42X
IHL-42X, an oral fixed-dose mixture of acetazolamide and dronabinol, is at present in Part 2/3 medical research for the therapy of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Designed to behave synergistically, IHL-42X targets two completely different physiological pathways related to the intermittent hypoxia (IH) and hypercapnia that characterize OSA. In a previous Australian Part 2 medical trial, IHL-42X was proven to scale back the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) in all dosage strengths, with the bottom dose lowering AHI by a median of 51 p.c relative to baseline. RePOSA, a worldwide Part 2/3 medical trial is underway, evaluating IHL-42X in people with OSA who’re both non-compliant, illiberal, or naïve to constructive airway strain gadgets, together with CPAP, with the Part 2 portion carried out in the USA. The expanded Part 3 portion will embody websites within the United Kingdom (TADAWUL:) and European Union. A topline readout from the U.S. Part 2 portion is anticipated within the first half of 2025.
