Silo Pharma, Inc.  (Nasdaq: SILO), a developmental stage biopharmaceutical company focused on merging traditional therapeutics with psychedelic research, today announced that James Kuo, M.D., Vice President of R&D, will speak at the 3rd Annual Psychedelic Therapeutics and Drug Development Conference being held May 15-16, 2023, in person, at the Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront in Burlingame, CA.

Dr. Kuo’s presentation, titled ‘The Ketamine Endgame,’ will be delivered on May 15, 2023 at 1:05 p.m. PDT. In his remarks about his talk, Dr. Kuo stated, “Recently, a New York Times headline described ketamine as a ‘cure,’ a word not often used for medical therapies. Lots of people with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and pain will surely be impacted by ketamine.”

Three of Silo Pharma’s five novel drug candidates currently under development utilize ketamine as a primary therapeutic agent:

  • The Company recently announced positive results for a toxicology study of SP-26, a novel time-released, dosage-controlled formulation of ketamine indicated for fibromyalgia.
  • SPC-14, a novel drug that combines an FDA-approved therapeutic with ketamine, is in development for the treatment of dementia related to Alzheimer’s disease. A dosing study of SPC-14 demonstrated efficacy for increasing memory function.
  • SPC-15, a novel formulation including ketamine as a targeted prophylactic treatment, is intended for stress, anxiety, and PTSD.
