CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA / ACCESSWIRE / September 11, 2019 / Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADIL) (NASDAQ:ADILW), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of treatments for addiction, today announced that its previously manufactured supply of clinical trial material (CTM), consisting of blister packaged tablets of AD04, was successfully retested. All criteria, including, without limitation, identity testing, content uniformity, assay, impurities, microbial limits, and other tests showed the clinical trial materials have passed review and are within the pre-specified acceptable limits for use in clinical trials. The CTM is intended to be used in the upcoming Phase 3 clinical trial of AD04 as a treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD) in genetically targeted patients.
William Stilley, CEO of Adial Pharmaceuticals, stated, "We are approaching the start of our Phase 3 trial and are pleased to have completed this important step. Due to the successful retesting, we believe the approximately 52,000 blister packs of clinical trial material that we previously produced will be usable in our Phase 3 clinical trial of AD04 for AUD in biomarker positive patients. Importantly, we have already shipped drug product to Europe for the trial and it is in process for final packaging and labeling. Additionally, the retest data indicated that we have a very stable drug product that will likely achieve a commercial shelf life of five years when we take AD04 to market, assuming regulatory approval."
About Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Adial Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of treatments for addictions. The Company's lead investigational new drug product, AD04, is a genetically targeted therapeutic agent for the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). A Phase 2b clinical trial of AD04 for the treatment of AUD showed promising results in reducing frequency of drinking, quantity of drinking and heavy drinking (all with statistical significance), and no overt safety concerns (there were no statistically significant serious adverse events reported). The Company plans to commence a Phase 3 clinical trial using AD04 for the potential treatment of AUD in subjects with certain target genotypes, which are to be identified using the Company's proprietary companion diagnostic genetic test. AD04 is also believed to have the potential to treat other addictive disorders such as opioid use disorder, gambling, and obesity. www.adialpharma.com
