Silo Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: SILO), a developmental stage biopharmaceutical company focused on merging traditional therapeutics with psychedelic research, today announced that it has initiated a preclinical toxicity study of its novel time-released, dosage controlled formulation of ketamine, designated as SP-26, for the treatment of fibromyalgia.
“We are working closely with our joint venture partner Zylö Therapeutics in developing a topical sustained released ketamine utilizing Z-pod™ technology. Preclinical studies have already shown that our joint developed delivery method and formulation can hold and distribute ketamine in a time-released manner. SP-26 reported positive results in reducing neuropathic nerve pain. This safety evaluation study will uncover maximum tolerated dosing data that will inform our future trials.”

In the safety evaluation study, the tolerability of the SP-26 compound will be determined in a mini pig study using an ascending (descending) dosing regimen. Data from the study is expected in the first quarter of 2023.
Silo Pharma recently announced that it is working with a regulatory partner to prepare an FDA Pre-Investigational New Drug (IND) package for SP-26. The Company intends to pursue a 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for the drug candidate
