FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine Grants Innocan Pharma a Fee Waiver for 2025

HERZLIYA, Israel and CALGARY, Alberta, Jan. 9, 2025 /CNW/ -- Innocan Pharma Corporation (CSE: INNO) (FSE: IP4) (OTCQB: INNPF) ("Innocan" or the "Company"), a pioneer in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, is pleased to announce that the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) has granted the Company a sponsor fee waiver for its LPT-CBD (Liposome Platform Technology-Cannabidiol) product for the second consecutive year.

The Animal Drug User Fee Act (ADUFA) authorizes the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) to collect user fees for certain animal drug applications on an annual basis. Under this Act, sponsors may request a yearly fee waiver through the 'significant barrier to innovation' provision. Following a thorough review, the CVM granted Innocan the 2025 fee waiver, recognizing the Company's continued pursuit of innovative animal drug products and technology.

The waiver applies to the Company's LPT-CBD drug product, developed for subcutaneous injection to manage chronic pain in dogs. With growing interest in CBD products among pet owners seeking safe and effective ways to support their pets' health, Innocan's LPT-CBD aims to deliver precise and sustained CBD release from a single injection. This innovation offers a safe and convenient dosing solution for managing chronic pain in dogs, providing benefits for pets of all ages and sizes.

"LPT-CBD is a unique technology that enables easy and accurate dosing of CBD for dogs suffering from chronic pain and discomfort," stated Iris Bincovich, CEO of Innocan Pharma. "Chronic pain affects 45 million pets in the US, according to the North American Veterinary Community¹. Our unique approach can give pet owners confidence that their pets with recurrent pain will receive the full dosage needed for effective relief."

Dr. Eyal Kalo, R&D Director at Innocan further added, "The fee waiver granted by the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) for the second time underscores their continued recognition and support of our efforts to advance LPT-CBD development. This milestone accelerates our progress in delivering an innovative solution for chronic pain management in animals."
