InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced it has concluded enrollment of its Phase 2 clinical trial using investigational drug INM-755 cannabinol cream for the treatment of patients with epidermolysis bullosa, a rare genetic skin disease. The Phase 2 study, called INM-755-201-EB, enrolled 19 patients. All four subtypes of inherited EB, including EB Simplex, Dystrophic EB, Junctional EB, and Kindler Syndrome were accepted into the trial.

The clinical trial is evaluating the safety of INM-755 cannabinol cream and its preliminary efficacy in treating symptoms of itch, pain, and wound healing in patients with epidermolysis bullosa. The study used a within-patient, double-blind design whereby matched index areas are randomized to INM-755 (cannabinol) cream or vehicle cream as a control. Results from this Phase 2 study of INM-755 CBN cream are expected to be released early calendar Third Quarter 2023.

INM-755 is a cannabinol (CBN) cream intended as a topical therapy to treat symptoms associated with epidermolysis bullosa (EB) and potentially other dermatological diseases. Preclinical data demonstrate that INM-755 (cannabinol) cream may help relieve hallmark EB symptoms, such as pain, inflammation, wound healing and itch, as well potentially restore the integrity of the skin in a subset of EB Simplex patients. Phase 1 data in healthy volunteers demonstrated INM-755 (cannabinol) cream to be well- tolerated on both normal, intact skin as well as on open wounds and caused no delay in wound healing.
