[sloppyjoe2] 06/6/2022 13:59

Once again, extremely muted response to what looks like good news. Is anything *ever* going to make this stock move significantly the right way?

[beltd] 06/6/2022 11:35

Expect we finish down, Med heads are selling into this rns as always

[beltd] 06/6/2022 11:35

Obviously good news, but it does not half focus the mind on a) how far away any revenue will be..... multiple dilutions to stay afloat b) how small sales will likely be as there are many good drugs already in this area.I expect a dilution very soon. The tanks are empty

CogniCann© Phase II Clinical Trial Results
Key Highlights:
MGC Pharma’s recently completed Phase II Clinical Trial for its proprietary Dementia
treatment, CogniCann®, demonstrates full safety and preliminary efficacy profile.
The Clinical Trial results demonstrate the ability of CogniCann® to inhibit the deterioration in
the behaviour of patients with Dementia.
It is estimated that nearly 787,000 people in the UK, and 450,000 people in Australia, suffer
from Alzheimer’s disease, with approximately 78% of these having mild or moderate
symptoms. In the top 4 European countries, this number is closer to 1 million, and is expected
to grow by 15% by 20241.
MGC Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX, LSE: MXC, ‘MGC Pharma’ or ‘the Company’), a European based
bio-pharma company specialising in the production and development of phytomedicines, is pleased
to provide details of the results of its Phase II Clinical Trial into the effect of its proprietary
Investigational Medicinal Product, CogniCann®, an oral spray containing delta-9-
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), on patients with Dementia.
The double-blind cross-over Clinical Trial was undertaken in conjunction with the University of
Notre Dame in Western Australia and involved eligible patients commencing a six-week treatment
course with CogniCann®, before switching (crossing over) to a six-week course of placebo, with a
two-week ‘washout’ period between the two arms. The study’s objectives were to assess the safety
and efficacy of CogniCann®, including the assessment of the behavioural benefits of CogniCann® on
Dementia patients measured using a number of evaluation tools including a Neuropsychiatric
Inventory - Nursing homes (NPI-NH) Questionnaire and a Cohen-Mansfield Agitation inventory
Questionnaire.
A summary of the study’s protocol can be found in Annexure A of this Announcement.
The efficacy of CogniCann® was assessed using the following three criteria: 1.
1. 2.
The study assessed the safety profile of CogniCann® by monitoring adverse events and a range of
observational tests undertaken by a research nurse who met with each participant to discuss their
adverse event records, and measured their heart rate and blood pressure twice a week. In addition,
the participant’s weight and body composition measures, such as lean body mass, bone mass and
fat mass were measured weekly utilising non-invasive methods. The study assessed both the safety
profile and the efficacy of CogniCann® against a placebo, with the study results demonstrating no
difference in the safety profile between the CogniCann® and Placebo groups i.e. indicating that
CogniCann® was safe to use by patients with Dementia.
The participant’s NPI-NH Score using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory – Nursing Home
Version (NPI-NH) Questionnaire, which is based on responses from the participants, and
from caregivers involved in their daily care.
The NPI-NH Questionnaire was developed to help characterise the neuropsychiatric
symptoms and psychopathology of patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia
patients residing in nursing homes or extended care facilities. The NPI-NH is also used to
measure the impact of anti-dementia drugs on these patients2.

Results of the study showed that after 44 days, patients in the Placebo group experienced a deterioration in their condition, based on their NPI-NH score, compared with the stable neuropsychiatric profile of those patients treated with CogniCann®, indicating that the early-stage use of CogniCann® may be beneficial in the treatment of dementia
patients.
The graph below shows the NPI-NH score of patients administered CogniCann® versus the Placebo, with the higher NPI- NH score indicating a deterioration in the patient’s condition.

2. Aggressive behaviour
Aggressive behaviour is one of the most serious of the disturbances experienced by dementia patients, and is a common cause for psychiatric referral, admission to hospital and drug treatment. During the 44-day study period the treatment group’s Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory Aggressive subscale improved by 13%, compared with the Placebo group which improved by 4%. This important finding indicates not only improvement in the health status of the patients, but also the improved quality of life of the families and caregivers that are taking care of dementia patients. The graph below demonstrates the change in the aggressive behaviour between the Treatment and Placebo groups. Both groups started from similar Aggression evaluation scale values, with the Treatment group (green columns) showing increased improvement compared to the Placebo, or Control group (red columns). These results can be considered as a vector and will be studied in future clinical trials using a larger sample size.

3. Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI)3
The CMAI is a 29-item scale widely used to assess the frequency of manifestations of agitated behaviours in elderly persons, which is completed by a proxy (i.e. family carer or nursing home staff members). The study demonstrated that the Treatment group’s CMAI score improved by ~17%, from 69 to 57, compared with the Placebo group’s improvement of ~8% over the 44-day period. Agitation is a behavioural syndrome characterised by increased, often undirected, motor activity, restlessness, aggressiveness, and emotional distress. According to several observations, agitation prevalence ranges from 30 to 50% in dementia patients.3
The Clinical Trial, which commenced in March 2020, initially planned to enrol 50 patients from a number of Aged Care Facilities across Perth, Western Australia, however, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting restrictions place on accessing Aged Care Facilities by Australian government agencies, the time taken to complete the trial was longer than anticipated, resulting in the number of patients enrolled in the trial being reduced from the initial target of 50 to 22.

Study Title
Participant Details
Annexure A
Medicinal cannabis and dementia: Effects on behavioral symptoms among older residential care recipients.
N=22 (Male: 5, Female: 17). Average Age: 85 years
Study Drug
The medical cannabis oil, “CogniCann”, was provided in a sealed 10ml glass spray bottle which contained a mix of THC and CBD in a 3:2 ratio (25 mg/ml THC, 17 mg/ml CBD) in a Medium-Chained Triglyceride (MCT) oil base.
Protocol
A Phase II, randomised, double blind cross-over, placebo-controlled clinical study designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the Study Drug and determine the therapeutic individual dose response
Study Arms
The Study Drug will be administrated as the following:
For those participants who meet the eligibility period, CogniCann will be administered to the residential aged care facilities by the pharmacist following the steps below:
• The bottles will be delivered every Monday to the residential aged care
facilities.
• The bottles will be collected after 7 days of use (even if they are half full)
and returned to the pharmacy where they can determine how much was used (or left) and then dispose of the bottles to meet Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) requirements.
• At the start of the titration phase, 1 bottle will be administered for each participant (as the lower dose of 2.5mg allows for each bottle to hold 2-3 weeks of the medication).
• As participants being to reach a higher dose (titration phase, see Table 1 below), 2-3 bottles will be provided on a weekly basis, so each participant will have sufficient medication to last for 7 days. An upper limit of 50 mg/day of THC was permitted in those who did not experience any adverse events from the medication.
StudyPurpose
To evaluate the clinical efficacy and the potential behavioral benefits that CogniCann® may have on patients with Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
Methodology and study procedures
Study participants will include participants who are living within a residential aged care facility. Inclusion criteria: aged 65+ years who have a diagnosis of dementia but still have the capacity to provide informed consent, able to speak and understand English.
Study participants will be recruited from residential aged care facilities who have three residential aged care facilities across Western Australia. The residential aged care’s affiliated pharmacist will store, label, manage and distribute the medication to these facilities. A locum medical practitioner will prescribe participants with ‘Congicann’ and will be asked not to change any other prescribed medications for the duration of the study (14 weeks).
Study Duration
This randomised, double-blind cross-over study will run for 18 weeks consisting of a two week ‘Eligibility period’ for screening and clinical assessment, and a 16 week ‘Experimental period’ of two six-week arms of treatment and placebo separated by a two week ‘washout’ period between the treatment arms, and a two-week washout period following the completion of the second arm (see Figure below).
