“We had achieved important clinical and business milestones that will pave the way for PharmaTher to potentially become a commercial-stage company in 2023. With a little over $12 million in cash and investment on our balance sheet, we are in a strong position to advance our ketamine-based clinical development and commercial programs to treat mental health, neurological and pain disorders. To support our commercial objectives, we aim to file abbreviated new drug applications with the FDA for our ketamine injectable products for anesthesia and procedural sedation. We expect to obtain FDA approvals by 2H-2023. Our clinical development objectives for the next twelve months include obtaining FDA agreement to conduct a potential Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating ketamine for Parkinson’s disease, present results from the Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating ketamine for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, present clinical study results in depression and pain with our ketamine microneedle patch and ketamine wearable pump device, and partner with pharmaceutical companies for our ketamine products, drug delivery systems and clinical programs. Finally, I like to thank the PharmaTher team, our Board of Directors and our shareholders for supporting our objective in unlocking the therapeutic potential of ketamine for unmet medical needs.”
