Powering Multiple CPG Industries With A 'Secret Sauce': Bioscience Company Reports Its Proprietary Nanotech Improves Taste And Absorption Of Functional Foods & Beverages

Rexis Biotech

By Rachael Green, Benzinga This month, Rexis Biotech, the company behind an innovative new nano fiber technology for creating highly water-soluble infusions from hydrophobic molecules, announced a new partnership with 3Chi, Inc. The partnership makes Rexis the world’s largest hemp-derived cannabis manufacturer and will see 3Chi’s initial order of 1M cans distributed via Rexis’ massive national distribution network. The agreement is the latest in a string of major contracts Rexis has landed this year, and the news comes in the midst of the biotech’s ongoing crowdfunding campaign through WeFunder, where Rexis is seeking to raise equity and awareness of its new technology. Rexis Is Leveraging Its Proprietary Fused Polymorph Nano Fiber Technology To Improve The Quality And Potency Of Consumer Goods Rexis uses a proprietary co-crystal in a patented procedure that creates a completely tasteless and odorless powder for infusing into foods and beverages. Co-crystallization combines two or more molecules into a single stable crystal structure. It’s already being used in the pharmaceutical industry to improve the bioavailability of drugs. But it’s typically been limited to small-scale or specialized production because it’s a complex and expensive process. Trademarked under the name Fused Polymorph Nano Fiber Technology, this advanced co-crystallization platform turns hydrophobic molecules like CBD, THC and many essential vitamins into nanoparticles ranging from 35 to 50 nanometers. For scale, a single viral cell is about 50 to 100 nanometers. This tiny size makes the ingredients easier for the human body to absorb because it is mostly absorbed within the mouth, well before first past digestion. Clinical research has found that CBD processed using Fused Polymorph Nano Fiber Technology TM is more than 48% bioavailable, for example. That’s a substantial improvement over the 6% bioavailability of standard CBD oil. Better bioavailability means more of the active ingredient is actually getting absorbed into the bloodstream. For ingredients like CBD or THC, that can mean a faster onset of effects and the ability to get the effects you need with a lower dose. Rexis says its proprietary nano fibers can be absorbed into the bloodstream more quickly and completely than standard emulsions. They can even adjust the length of the fibers to speed up or slow down the onset/offset timing. CBD oil isn’t the only poorly-absorbed ingredient on the market. Many of the most popular supplements contain hydrophobic vitamins like Vitamin A, C, D, E, and K. Other functional ingredients like caffeine and many of the essential amino acids the body needs to make protein are also hydrophobic. In addition to being poorly absorbed, the amount that actually makes it into the bloodstream can vary depending on a range of factors. That means you can take the exact same dose and get different results. The technology Rexis uses is meant to not only improve those absorption rates but also make them more consistent so that consumers can more reliably predict what dose to take to meet their needs while ensuring taste is retained or improved – this gives the company a potentially large total addressable market spread across multiple industries. Rexis Is Gaining The Attention Of Industry Leaders Across Key Markets Manufacturers are already hopping on board to use this Fused Polymorph Nano Fiber Technology TM in their supplements, beverages, and other consumer products. Rexis says it’s already signed more than $8.35 million worth of contracts in the first half of this year with a range of clients in rapidly growing industries like cannabis, wellness and functional beverages – the company boasts of powering brands like 3Chi and First Person Group thanks to its focus on retaining or improving taste. In addition to the million dollar agreement with 3Chi this month, the company has signed contracts with other cannabis leaders like Happy Valley, Redbud Roots and Nectr. But it’s not just licensing its tech to customers. Rexis is also developing its own line of retail brands and pharmaceuticals to add additional revenue streams and showcase the wide-ranging potential of this technology. Meanwhile, investors have already helped the biotech raise over $260K through its crowdfunding campaign. For investors interested in learning more, check out their WeFunder page. Rexis is the industry leader and pioneer in developing Hydrophobic Molecule Delivery systems. Leading in the innovation, production and formulation of water based ingredients for use in the Pharmaceutical and Consumer Packaged goods industry. Established in 2022, Rexis is building a core mix of proprietary IP used to sustain strong sales models with pharmaceutical licensees, consumer packaged goods manufacturers and clinical research teams.

NMTC Coalition Opens Sign-on Letter to Congress Urging Members to Make the NMTC Permanent

NMTC

The NMTC Coalition is circulating an organization sign-on letter to Congress urging members to make the NMTC permanent. Organizations committed to community and economic development, adding jobs and increasing wages, and supporting healthcare, education, manufacturing, infrastructure, telecom, energy, the arts, and recreation are encouraged to add their name to this letter in support of a bipartisan program with a 20-year track record of success. The sign-on letter, available at NMTCCoalition.org, closes on August 31, 2023. Any organization (businesses, trade groups, city governments, Mayors, nonprofits, investors, CDEs) can sign the letter using the form on the NMTC Coalition website. “As we continue our efforts to make the NMTC program permanent, it is critical for our elected officials in Congress to hear from the businesses and organizations who bring these programs to life across our country and are charged with making communities stronger and more economically sound,” said NMTC Coalition spokesperson Bob Rapoza. “This is an opportunity to make your voice heard and to make a real difference in communities that need help the most.” Authorized by Congress in 2000, the NMTC Program incentivizes community development and economic growth through the use of tax credits (given as allocations) that then attract private investment to distressed communities. The unique beauty of the NMTC program is that it is used effectively in both rural and urban areas to support good jobs and strong wages and has historically held bipartisan support. In addition to creating high-quality jobs, NMTCs create and expand access to health care, early childcare and schools, job training, groceries, telecommunications, energy, arts, recreation, and infrastructure in ways that traditional private sector financing cannot effectively meet. Since 2003, the NMTC has provided much-needed investment and advancement opportunities for underserved communities across the country. In just two decades, NMTCs have spurred an unprecedented level of investment in rural and urban low-income communities, generating nearly $130 billion in capital investment through public-private partnerships and creating more than one million jobs nationwide. The NMTC has an outstanding track record of revitalizing communities outside of the economic mainstream as a targeted, cost-efficient financial tool — and it has the potential to achieve an even greater impact. Currently, the NMTC program is set to expire in 2025. By adding their name to the sign-on letter, organizations will lend their support for making the NMTC permanent by passing the bipartisan NMTC Extension Act of 2023 (S. 234 and H.R. 2539). In addition to extending the program at $5 billion in allocation per year, the legislation would provide an inflation adjustment for future years. It also includes reforms to ensure the NMTC program maintains its efficiency during an economic downturn when it is needed the most. “Organizations, especially CDEs and investors on the frontlines of community revitalization efforts using NMTCs, are encouraged to join this effort to ensure no community is left behind and to preserve one of the federal government’s most successful community development programs,” said Aisha Benson, President and CEO of Nonprofit Finance Fund (NFF) and President of the NMTC Coalition. The New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) was enacted in 2000 to stimulate private investment and economic growth in low-income urban neighborhoods and rural communities lacking the patient capital to support and grow businesses, create jobs, and sustain healthy local economies. Since its inception, the NMTC has generated more than one million jobs. Due to the NMTC, nearly $130 billion is hard at work in underserved communities in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. For more information, visit www.NMTCCoalition.org.

AMA Issues Details On First Psychedelics Therapy CPT Code – Thanks To These Psychedelic-Focused Mental Healthcare Companies

COMPASS Pathways

By Rachael Green, Benzinga The American Medical Association’s (AMA) Panel recently released the full details of a new code for psychological support during the administration of psychedelic treatments. Slated to take effect starting in 2024, the new temporary CPT III code marks an important step toward broader access to the novel treatments as it gives healthcare providers a way to code and seek reimbursement for psychological support during the administration of any FDA-approved psychedelic therapies given to patients. The addition of the psychedelics code was made possible by Compass Pathways Plc. (NASDAQ: CMPS), a company conducting clinical trials of psilocybin treatment using COMP360, COMPASS’s proprietary formulation of synthetic psilocybin, and MAPS Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), two companies developing psychedelics-based treatments for mental health conditions. The two companies submitted a joint application to the AMA to add a new CPT III code for psychedelic therapies. CPT Codes Lend Legitimacy To Emerging Psychedelics Market While no psychedelic has yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the market, a growing body of research from the last decade or so has yielded positive data on the therapeutic potential of substances like psilocybin, MDMA or LSD for a range of some of the most common and most difficult to treat mental health conditions. “Psychedelic-assisted therapies represent a potential new frontier in the treatment of mental health conditions and our top priority is ensuring there is a path forward to integrate them into the healthcare system, if FDA approved,” said MAPS CEO Amy Emerson. The new CPT code paves the way for psychedelics – subject to FDA approval – to become a widely adopted set of new therapeutics. “This is a major step forward to enabling broad and equitable access to psychedelic therapies,” said Compass CEO Kabir Nath. CPT coding is a standardized set of codes used nationwide for reporting of medical services and procedures, claims processing and developing guidelines for medical care review. Essentially, if psychedelic therapies are approved, this new code is the basis for what will be used to document treatment in patient medical records and submit claims to payers for reimbursement. COMPASS And MAPS Are Also Edging Closer To FDA Approval With Late Stage Clinical Trials The AMA’s acceptance of COMPASS and MAPS PBC’s new code application puts the mechanisms for adoption in place if either company is granted FDA approval for their psychedelic therapies. With that code in place, both companies are working to move their current late-stage clinical trials through the approval process. A phase 3 trial is already underway for COMP360, the synthetic psilocybin treatment developed for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). The trial is building on the company’s phase 2b trial, in which 30% of TRD patients achieved remission by the third week after taking just one 25-milligram dose at the start of the trial. At the 12-week follow-up, over 20% of patients were still in remission. These results are promising given the challenging TRD patient population. Less than a third of people diagnosed with depression achieve full remission with the first antidepressant they try – and even when they do, it takes an average of about seven weeks of daily medication for remission to happen. For treatment-resistant depression – where a patient has been failed by at least two different antidepressants – the numbers are even worse. Remission rates for patients trying a third antidepressant range from just 8% to 12%, depending on the specific antidepressant tried. From the fourth treatment attempt onward, remission rates remain low. The COMP360 trial outcomes suggest it could be a meaningful alternative for these patients who struggle to find any relief with the current standards of care. The phase 3 program currently underway will be conducted across approximately 150 sites worldwide. Two other phase 2 trials are also being conducted, one for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and another for anorexia nervosa. Meanwhile, MAPS already has two phase 3 trials under its belt, both for an MDMA-assisted therapy it developed for PTSD. In the first of those trials, 88% of participants saw meaningful improvement in their symptoms with the treatment while 67% responded so well that they no longer met the diagnostic criteria for PTSD after 18 weeks. Based on that data and its previous trials, the company is preparing to submit a new drug application to the FDA in the third quarter of this year. Company BioCOMPASS Pathways plc (Nasdaq: CMPS) is a mental health care company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation in mental health. Our focus is on improving the lives of those who are suffering with mental health challenges and who are not helped by current treatments. We are pioneering the development of a new model of psilocybin therapy, in which our proprietary formulation of synthetic psilocybin, COMP360, is administered in conjunction with psychological support. COMP360 has been designated a Breakthrough Therapy by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has received Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway (ILAP) designation in the UK for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). We have commenced a phase 3 clinical program of COMP 360 psilocybin therapy in TRD, the largest randomised, controlled, double-blind psilocybin therapy clinical program ever conducted. Previously, we completed a phase 2b study with top line data showing a statistically significant (p<0.001) and clinically relevant improvement in depressive symptom severity after three weeks for patients who received a single high dose of COMP360 psilocybin with psychological support. We are also conducting phase 2 clinical studies of COMP360 psilocybin therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anorexia nervosa. COMPASS is headquartered in London, UK, with offices in New York and San Francisco in the United States. Our vision is a world of mental wellbeing. This post contains sponsored content.

Novel Chinese medicine for constipation developed by HKBU authorised by U.S. FDA for clinical trial

Hong Kong Baptist University

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 25 July 2023 - The Centre for Chinese Herbal Medicine Drug Development (CDD) of Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) has made significant progress in developing novel Chinese medicine for treating chronic constipation. With its success in the Investigational New Drug Application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), CDD has been authorised to conduct a phase I clinical trial of the new drug. This is the first time that a new botanical drug developed in Hong Kong was authorised to conduct a clinical trial in the US. The clinical trial will be launched later this year to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics profile of the new drug on healthy individuals. Research based on traditional Chinese herbal formulation Chronic constipation is a common gastrointestinal disorder affecting approximately 14% of the global population. Currently, many patients with chronic constipation are not completely satisfied with their current treatments due to side effects and/or limited efficacy. In response to the patients' needs for better therapeutics, CDD has been eyeing the international market and has developed a new drug called CDD-2101, which is based on previous pilot clinical studies and basic research on the traditional Chinese herbal formulation "MaZiRenWan". The main ingredients of CDD-2101 include hemp seed, rhubarb, officinal magnolia bark, bitter apricot seed, bran stir-fried immature orange fruit, and white peony root. The HKBU research team collaborated with partners including the University of Chicago and the University of Macau to submit an Investigational New Drug Application for CDD-2101 according to the requirements for botanical drug development of the U.S. FDA and was authorised to conduct a phase I clinical trial. Milestone of standardisation and internationalisation of Chinese medicine Professor Alexander Wai, President and Vice-Chancellor of HKBU, said: "HKBU is committed to promoting the development of Chinese medicine, and conducting cutting-edge scientific and translational research in this area. The University received funding from the Innovation and Technology Commission's InnoHK initiative to establish the CDD in 2020, which significantly boosted our comprehensive capabilities in the research and development of Chinese medicine. The clinical trial in the US will provide us with invaluable experience in conducting clinical trials at Hong Kong's first Chinese Medicine Hospital in future." Professor Bian Zhaoxiang, Associate Vice-President (Chinese Medicine Development), Director of the Clinical Division of the School of Chinese Medicine, and Director of the CDD at HKBU, said: "CDD-2101 is a novel drug developed by combining a traditional Chinese herbal formulation and advanced technologies, with research and manufacturing conducted in compliance with international standards. Obtaining U.S. FDA's authorisation to conduct a clinical trial for this new drug is an important milestone in the development of Chinese medicine in Hong Kong, and it reflects HKBU's capabilities in and dedication to promoting the standardisation and internationalisation of Chinese medicine." Authorisation from the U.S. FDA was secured in April this year to conduct a phase I clinical trial of CDD-2101 in the US. The trial will start later this year and will recruit 20 healthy participants in the US. It will be a randomised, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics profile of the drug. Participants will take a single dose of CDD-2101 or a placebo and be monitored for 24 hours. The study will be conducted at a phase I clinical research centre in the US. Phase I trial focuses on safety The phase I clinical trial is expected to be completed in 2024, followed by a phase II study to collect the safety and efficacy data from patients with chronic constipation. A large-scale phase III study will then be launched to further evaluate the treatment efficacy of CDD-2101 in patients with chronic constipation, and monitor any unforeseeable side effects. Professor Bian said: "The ultimate goal of the drug development programme is to collect sufficient safety and efficacy data, so that CDD-2101 can be evaluated and approved by the U.S. FDA as a new pharmaceutical for sale and marketing in the US. This is essential in establishing CDD-2101 as an internationally recognised, safe and effective drug for the treatment of chronic constipation. It is anticipated that another three to five years are needed to complete the phase II and III clinical trials, after which the data gathered during the animal studies and human clinical trials, together with details of the manufacturing of the drug, will be included in a New Drug Application to be submitted to the U.S. FDA for review." The CDD, funded by the Innovation and Technology Commission's InnoHK initiative, is the first integrated Chinese medicine research and development centre at a local university. Located in the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks and equipped with advanced facilities, the CDD aims to gather world-class partners to translate the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine wisdom into pharmaceutical products that meet international standards. Since its establishment in 2020, the CDD has been focusing on innovative Chinese medicine research for gastrointestinal and immune-related diseases such as chronic constipation and ulcerative colitis.
