AUSTIN, Texas, May 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Anebulo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANEB), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel solutions for people suffering from acute cannabinoid intoxication (ACI) and substance abuse (the "Company" or "Anebulo"), today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and recent updates.

Management Commentary

"We are very encouraged by the progress our team has made in developing what has the potential to be the first FDA approved therapy to treat patients suffering from acute cannabinoid intoxication," said Simon Allen, Chief Executive Officer of Anebulo. "In March, we announced the full positive data from Part B of our Phase 2 study of ANEB-001 in healthy volunteers challenged with THC. We believe these data, in conjunction with our observational study of ACI patients in the emergency room setting, will provide a solid foundation for discussing a registrational path for ANEB-001 with FDA. That meeting has now been scheduled for July."

• Operating expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 were $2.9 million compared with $1.9 million in the same period in fiscal 2022.
• Net loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $2.8 million, or $(0.11) per share, compared with a net loss of $1.9 million, or $(0.08) per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

About ANEB-001

Our lead product candidate is ANEB-001, a potent, small molecule cannabinoid receptor antagonist, to address the unmet medical need for a specific antidote for ACI. ANEB-001 is an orally bioavailable, readily absorbed treatment candidate that we anticipate will rapidly reverse key symptoms of ACI. ANEB-001 is protected by one issued patent and rights to one patent application covering various methods of use of the compound and delivery systems. We began a Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial for ANEB-001 in December 2021 in the Netherlands and announced positive Phase 2 Part A proof-of-concept topline data on July 5, 2022, positive Part B data on September 26, 2022, completed dosing of all subjects in mid-December 2022, and announced preliminary Phase 2 Part B data on January 09, 2023.  On March 28, 2023, we announced complete results from Part A and Part B of our Phase 2 clinical trial. A Type B meeting to discuss these data with FDA is scheduled for July 2023.
