SARASOTA, FL, Aug. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Silo Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: SILO) ("Silo" or the "Company"), a developmental stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel formulations and drug delivery systems for traditional therapeutics and psychedelic treatments, today announced a new agreement with Sever Pharma Solutions for scale-up extrusion of the Company's SP-26 ketamine-loaded implant therapeutic targeting fibromyalgia and chronic pain. In addition, Sever Pharma Solutions will continue with analytical testing of the ketamine hydrochloride (ketamine HCL) polymer implants using the optimal time-released, dose-controlled formulation previously selected by Silo for continuing pre-clinical studies.
"Sever Pharma Solutions has been our partner for earlier production of the ketamine implants and validation of the delivery system through successful assay testing," said Silo CEO Eric Weisblum. "We are pleased to continue our collaboration as we move forward with further pre-clinical testing of our novel non-opioid chronic pain therapeutic. This process is expected to bring Silo closer to selecting the optimal final dosage and formulation in SP-26 to be utilized in animal studies
If clinically successful, SP-26 could qualify for the FDA's streamlined 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for drug approval.
