Ketamine One Launching Two Inaugural Research Studies
14 Octubre 2021 - 2:00AM
KetamineOne Capital Limited (“Ketamine One” or the
“Company”) (NEO: MEDI) (OTC: KONEF) (Frankfurt: MY0), a
company focused on consolidating medical clinics and becoming a
North American leader in mental health treatments, is pleased to
announce that it will be launching a single arm, open label study
of patients with post-traumatic stress disorder
(“
PTSD”) who are undergoing the proprietary
physical therapy program at the Company’s IRP Health clinics (the
“
PTSD Study”) as well as an observational,
single-arm, pilot study aimed at collecting objective biometric
data and validated psychiatric instrument measures of efficacy in
patients with depression symptoms who are receiving IV ketamine
infusion therapy (the “
Depression Study”)
(collectively, the “
Research Studies”). The
Research Studies will be conducted across multiple Ketamine One
clinic locations in Canada and the United States and are both
expected to begin in the month of November.
The PTSD Study is designed to occur over the
twelve weeks of IRP Health’s physical therapy program, which
includes exercise therapy, physiotherapy and pain neurophysiology
education. The participants, most of whom are veterans and first
responders, will be adults with PTSD who are also experiencing some
form of pain that is musculoskeletal in origin. The program is
meant to alleviate both pain and PTSD symptoms over the study
period. The PTSD study will be observational in nature and will
gather symptom data using validated patient reported questionnaires
as well as objective sleep and biometric data. The protocol and
information consent form (“ICF”) for the PTSD
Study have been submitted to the Institutional Review Board
(“IRB”) and are currently under review. Ketamine
One’s wholly owned subsidiary, KGK Science Inc., will lead the
study, including building the database and conducting training,
among other tasks.
The protocol and ICF for the Depression Study
are currently being finalized and is expected to be submitted to
the IRB in the near future. The trial is expected to begin in late
November, subject to the operational capacity of the Company’s
medical clinics. The purpose of the Depression Study is to
investigate ketamine as a fast-onset treatment for depression given
that the duration of the relief from symptoms varies in patients
with most requiring a booster within 4-6 weeks. Specifically, there
is currently no way for physicians to predict a relapse, therefore
patients may fully relapse before they are able to receive a
booster dose. The Depression Study will look to correlate the
efficacy of treatments with objective measures that have been
suggested in the past to be predictive of efficacy. Its aim is to
identify patterns in the data that are predictive of relapse and
may be used to inform the development of an algorithm to determine
the optimal timing for physicians to administer booster doses of
ketamine to patients based on their objective biometric data.
Management Commentary
“The launch of these inaugural studies by
Ketamine One is a great milestone for our Company and a clear
demonstration of the synergies being created between the
subsidiaries of KGK Science and IRP Health. These studies represent
full collaboration between all our divisions - KGK, IRP Health and
our ketamine clinic network. Our mental health platform is enabling
us to explore important topics and seek to find the answers to
long-standing questions about the efficacy of IV ketamine
treatments and how to improve treatment outcomes,” said Adam
Deffett, Interim CEO of Ketamine One. “Our hope is that both the
PTSD Study and the Depression Study yield significant results,
which enable not only our clinicians but those in other clinics as
well as to improve the patient experience and alleviate chronic
pain, depression and other interrelated issues,” added Mr.
Deffett.
