Biopharma company Silo Pharma Inc. SILO filed a provisional patent application to the US Patent and Trading Office covering “methods and compositions for pain management” towards ameliorating pain, including chronic pain such as fibromyalgia, with its SP-26 program using a proprietary ketamine composition.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition causing pain to the connective tissues including muscles, ligaments and tendons, often associated with sleep difficulties, fatigue, mood disorders, and problems with memory and concentration. It affects nearly 2% of the total U.S. population.
Silo Pharma’s novel drug candidate initially targets this indication, yet the provisional patent application supports the company’s “multi-pronged strategy” for advancing SP-26 into the clinic.
Silo CEO Eric Weisblum is working towards submitting an IND package to the FDA and pursuing the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for its drug candidate.
“We believe our drug would serve a critical need in a largely inadequate treatment landscape for chronic pain including fibromyalgia,” he concluded.
