Silo Pharma (NASDAQ: SILO) is a developmental stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel formulations and drug delivery systems for traditional therapeutics and psychedelic treatments. The company today provided a positive update on SP-26, its novel time-released, dose-controlled formulation of ketamine initially targeted for fibromyalgia. According to the announcement, a pre-clinical research study is underway involving analytical testing services and small batch proof-of-concept extrusion trials to determine drug release and stability. In recent testing, SP-26 polymer implants were blended with ketamine hydrochloride (“ketamine HCL”) in two loadings, 20% and 40%, and the structural stability and integrity of both the loaded implants were maintained, with no leakage, degradation or discoloration. “Implantable drug delivery systems like SP-26 may provide sustained drug delivery for prolonged periods of time, which is critical for the treatment of chronic pain conditions,” said Eric Weisblum, CEO of Silo. “We believe the initial testing provided sufficient validation of the delivery system for SP-26 and accordingly, our focus has shifted to testing of the ketamine formulation to measure drug dissolution and time-release action.”
