ZYUS Receives Patent from United States Patent
and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) Supporting ZYUS’ Lead Drug
Candidate
ZYUS Life Sciences Corporation (the “Company”) (TSX-V: ZYUS), a
Canadian-based life sciences company focused on the development and
commercialization of novel cannabinoid-based pharmaceutical drug
candidates for pain management, announced today that the USPTO
issued U.S. Patent No. 11,963,943, entitled FORMULATION FOR PAIN
MANAGEMENT on today’s date. The patent, held by ZYUS’ wholly owned
subsidiary, ZYUS Life Sciences Inc., is based on International
Patent Application No. PCT/CA2020/050588 with claims pertaining to
ZYUS’ lead drug candidate, Trichomylin® softgel capsules. This
marks the seventh issuance of a patent in this patent family,
joining other jurisdictions such as Canada, Australia, Israel,
India, Korea and South Africa. The issuance of this patent by the
USPTO underscores ZYUS’ commitment to innovation and dedication to
improving patient outcomes through the development of
non-opioid-based pharmaceutical solutions as a viable alternative
for managing pain.
Intellectual Property Portfolio
ZYUS’ intellectual property portfolio contains multiple patent
families related to fixed-dose cannabinoid-based formulations for
the treatment of pain and a variety of other clinically unmet
needs. Including the U.S. patent issued covering its lead drug
candidate, Trichomylin® softgel capsules, ZYUS’ intellectual
property portfolio, with a focus on novel therapies, currently
contains seven issued patents, eleven nonprovisional patent
applications that have been filed internationally, four
continuation-in-part applications filed in the U.S. and one
provisional patent application directed to formulations and
treatments.
Trichomylin® Softgel Capsules Phase 2 Clinical Trial
Trichomylin® softgel capsules have been formulated with a
proprietary fixed-dose combination, specifically designed for the
management of chronic pain by delivering a balanced ratio of three
cannabinoids – cannabichromene (“CBC”), cannabidiol (“CBD”) and
delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”). ZYUS’ previously announced
Phase 2 Clinical Trial will assess the preliminary efficacy, safety
and tolerability of Trichomylin® softgel capsules in patients with
advanced cancer and moderate to severe cancer-related pain.
“Receiving this patent for the treatment of pain using our
non-opioid-based formulation validates our ongoing commitment to
innovation and investment in research, marking a pivotal step
towards the development of this urgently needed medicine. To our
knowledge, this is the first time a U.S. patent has been awarded
for a cannabinoid-based fixed-dosed formulation containing CBC, CBD
and THC,” said Brent Zettl, President and CEO of ZYUS. “Our
clinical development program for the Trichomylin® formulation is
well-positioned for success given both the new patent issuance and
recently announced Phase 2 Clinical Trial, which aims to
demonstrate preliminary efficacy, safety and tolerability of this
novel drug candidate. We intend to use the data from our extensive
pre-clinical and non-clinical studies, completed Phase 1 Clinical
Trial and proposed Phase 2 Clinical Trial to form the basis of an
Investigational New Drug application with the U.S. FDA.”
