INSPIRE trial in 22q achieved statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements from baseline in multiple efficacy assessments, with excellent tolerability profile

Devon, PA, September 8, 2022 — Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZYNE), the leader in innovative pharmaceutically-produced transdermal cannabinoid therapies for orphan neuropsychiatric disorders, announces an oral presentation at The Society for the Study of Behavioural Phenotypes (SSBP) 24^th International Research Symposium, being held in Oslo, Norway, September 8-10, 2022. Helen (Honey) Heussler, MBBS FRACP MRCPCH, DM, Associate Professor, Faculty of Medicine, Child Health Research Centre, University of Queensland, Australia, presented data from the open-label Phase 2 INSPIRE (Assessing the Impact of Zygel™ [Transdermal CBD Gel] on Pediatric Behavioral and Emotional Symptoms of 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome) trial. A copy of Professor Heussler’s presentation is available on the Zynerba corporate website at www.zynerba.com/publications. 

The presentation titled, “An Open-Label, Tolerability and Efficacy Study of ZYN002 (Cannabidiol) Administered as a Transdermal Gel to Children and Adolescents with 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (INSPIRE),” includes data that suggests a positive risk-benefit profile for Zygel in improving anxiety-related and behavioral symptoms in children and adolescents with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q). Statistically significant improvements from baseline were seen in the Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale (PARS-R), the total score and all five subscales of the Anxiety, Depression and Mood Scale (ADAMS) and all five subscales of the Aberrant Behavior Checklist – Community (ABC-C). In addition, the majority of patients showed clinically meaningful improvements as demonstrated by the Clinical Global Impression – Improvement (CGI-I). Zygel was shown to be well tolerated, and the safety profile was consistent with previously released data from other Zygel clinical trials. Three patients reported treatment related adverse events which were all mild application site adverse events. One patient discontinued treatment due to adverse events not related to Zygel.

“The data from the Phase 2 INSPIRE trial are very encouraging, including the significant improvement in anxiety as measured by the clinician-rated PARS-R scale,” said Armando Anido, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zynerba. “We believe the Phase 2 data are very encouraging and suggest the potential of Zygel for the treatment of anxiety and behavioral symptoms in children and adolescents with 22q, and we look forward to discussing the regulatory path forward with the FDA.”

About Zygel
Zygel is the first and only pharmaceutically-manufactured cannabidiol formulated as a patent-protected permeation-enhanced clear gel, designed to provide controlled drug delivery into the bloodstream transdermally (i.e. through the skin). Recent studies suggest that cannabidiol may modulate the endocannabinoid system and improve certain behavioral symptoms associated with neuropsychiatric conditions. Zygel is an investigational drug product in development for the potential treatment of behavioral symptoms associated with Fragile X syndrome (FXS), 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The Company has received orphan drug designation for cannabidiol, the active ingredient in Zygel, from the FDA and the European Commission in the treatment of FXS and by the FDA for the treatment of 22q. Additionally, Zygel has been designated a Fast Track development program for treatment of behavioral symptoms of FXS.

About 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (22q)
As the second most common chromosomal disorder after Down syndrome, 22q is caused by a small missing piece of the 22nd chromosome. The deletion occurs near the middle of the chromosome at a location designated q11.2. It is considered a mid-line condition, with physical symptoms including characteristic palate abnormalities, heart defects, immune dysfunction, and esophageal / GI issues, as well as debilitating neuropsychiatric and behavioral challenges. Anxiety is among the most common neuropsychiatric symptoms of 22q and researchers have found that for children with 22q, anxiety is linked to poorer adaptive behaviors such as self-care and communication skills that affect daily life. Children with 22q also experience social withdrawal, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, cognitive impairment, and autism spectrum disorder. Later in life, they are at an increased risk of developing mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. It is estimated that 22q occurs in between one in 3,000 and one in 6,000 live births, suggesting that there are approximately 83,000 people living with 22q in the U.S.

Enrollment continues in RECONNECT, a confirmatory pivotal Phase 3 trial of Zygel™ in patients with Fragile X syndrome (FXS); topline results expected second-half 2023

Announced positive topline results from Phase 2 trial of Zygel in patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q)

Company focusing resources on orphan neuropsychiatric disorders, FXS and 22q

$62.5 million in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2022; Cash runway through the end of 2023 / early 2024

Devon, PA, August 10, 2022 — Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZYNE), the leader in innovative pharmaceutically-produced transdermal cannabinoid therapies for orphan neuropsychiatric disorders, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, and provided an overview of recent operational highlights and a pipeline update.

“During the second quarter, we were pleased to announce positive topline results from our Phase 2 trial of Zygel in patients with 22q. In addition to further progressing 22q, we are focused on completing the Phase 3 RECONNECT trial for children and adolescents with Fragile X syndrome, with topline results expected in the second half of 2023,” said Armando Anido, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zynerba. “With a cash runway extending past expected availability of topline results from our RECONNECT trial, we remain well-positioned on achieving our goal of bringing the first pharmaceutical product indicated for the treatment of behavioral symptoms of Fragile X syndrome to market.”

Operational Highlights and Pipeline Update

Zygel in Fragile X Syndrome (FXS)

• The Company continues to expect topline results from RECONNECT, a confirmatory pivotal Phase 3 trial of Zygel in patients with FXS, in the second half of 2023. The Company believes that the results from RECONNECT, if positive, will be sufficient to support the submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) for Zygel in patients with FXS.
  
  
• Presented data at the 18^th NFXF International Fragile X Conference in July and the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology Annual Meeting in June demonstrating that in the long-term safety and efficacy study of Zygel in children and adolescents with FXS, improvement was seen in Social Avoidance in the full population, with the greatest improvement in patients with complete methylation of the FMR1 gene. Patients with complete methylation, who match the primary efficacy population in the ongoing confirmatory trial, RECONNECT, achieved and maintained clinically meaningful change in Social Avoidance, supporting one of the key design enhancements for RECONNECT. Zygel was well-tolerated during long-term administration up to 38 months of exposure. (Poster and Presentation)
  
  
• Presented data at the 18^th NFXF International Fragile X Conference in July and the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology Annual Meeting in June describing how learnings from CONNECT-FX, the first randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of Zygel in the treatment of FXS, shaped the design of RECONNECT. In addition to the primary endpoint of the RECONNECT trial being measured in patients who have a completely methylated FMR1 gene, the treatment period of the trial has been extended by four weeks and an additional weight-based dose has been added for participants weighing greater than 50kg. RECONNECT is expected to provide key data to determine the effectiveness of Zygel in FXS while using a design intended to reduce the burden of participation in a clinical trial for families with children and adolescents with FXS. (Poster)

Zygel in 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (22q)

• In June, the Company announced positive topline results from the exploratory, open label Phase 2 INSPIRE trial of Zygel in children and adolescents with 22q. The INSPIRE trial achieved statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements from baseline in multiple efficacy assessments. Zygel was shown to be well tolerated, and the safety profile was consistent with previously released data from other Zygel clinical trials. (Press Release)
  
  
• Based on the positive Phase 2 data, the Company plans to meet with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss the data and the regulatory path forward. The Company plans to move forward in 22q as an orphan indication and has previously received orphan drug designation from the FDA for cannabidiol, the active ingredient in Zygel, for the treatment of 22q.

Zygel in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

• As previously disclosed, while data from the Company’s ASD clinical development program to date are compelling, given the difficult financing market, the Company has deferred the start of the Phase 3 development program in ASD as it has prioritized its resources on FXS and 22q in the near term.

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Research and development expenses were $5.4 million for the second quarter of 2022, including stock-based compensation of $0.5 million. General and administrative expenses were $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2022, including stock-based compensation expense of $0.6 million. Net loss for the second quarter of 2022 was $9.9 million, with basic and diluted loss per share of $(0.24).

Financial Outlook
As of June 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were $62.5 million, compared to $67.8 million as of December 31, 2021.

On May 11, 2021, the Company entered into a Controlled Equity Offering^SM Sales Agreement, or the 2021 Sales Agreement”, with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Canaccord Genuity, LLC, H.C. Wainwright & Co. LLC and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., as sales agents, pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, up to $75.0 million of its common stock. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company sold and issued 488,892 shares of its common stock under the 2021 Sales Agreement in the open market resulting in gross proceeds of $0.9 million and net proceeds of $0.8 million, after deducting commissions and offering expenses. From July 1, 2022 through August 8, 2022, the Company sold and issued 1,469,714 shares of its common stock under the 2021 Sales Agreement in the open market resulting in gross proceeds of $1.8 million, and net proceeds of $1.6 after deducting commissions and offering expenses

On July 21, 2022, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement for up to $20 million with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (LPC), a Chicago-based institutional investor. Under the terms of the agreement, Zynerba will have the right in its sole discretion, but not the obligation, to sell to LPC shares of its common stock over the 36-month term of the agreement. Zynerba controls the timing and amount of any future sales of its shares of common stock and LPC is obligated to make purchases in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement, subject to various limitations including those under the Nasdaq listing rules.

Management believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations and capital requirements through the end of 2023 or into early 2024, after the expected availability of topline results from its confirmatory pivotal Phase 3 RECONNECT trial of Zygel in patients with FXS.

Devon, PA, July 21, 2022 — Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZYNE), the leader in innovative pharmaceutically-produced transdermal cannabinoid therapies for orphan neuropsychiatric disorders, today announced it has entered into an equity purchase agreement for up to $20 million with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (LPC), a Chicago-based institutional investor.

Under the terms of the agreement, Zynerba will have the right in its sole discretion, but not the obligation, to sell to LPC up to $20 million worth of shares of its common stock over the 36-month term of the agreement. Zynerba controls the timing and amount of any future sales of its shares of common stock and LPC is obligated to make purchases in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement, subject to various limitations including those under the Nasdaq listing rules.

There is no upper limit to the price per share that LPC may pay for future stock issuances under the purchase agreement, and LPC has agreed not to cause or engage in any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of Zynerba’s common stock. No warrants are being issued in this transaction and the purchase agreement does not contain any rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages provisions in favor of any party. Zynerba may terminate the purchase agreement at any time, at its sole discretion, without any cost or penalty.

“We are excited to enter into this transaction with Lincoln Park Capital and believe that this agreement provides us with another opportunity to access capital in an efficient manner,” said Jim Fickenscher, Chief Financial Officer and Vice President, Corporate Development of Zynerba. “The financial flexibility provided by this agreement will further support our clinical development efforts with Zygel in Fragile X syndrome and 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.”

Devon, PA, June 21, 2022 — Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZYNE), the leader in innovative pharmaceutically-produced transdermal cannabinoid therapies for orphan neuropsychiatric disorders, today announced positive top line results from the exploratory, open label Phase 2 INSPIRE (Assessing the Impact of Zygel [Transdermal CBD Gel] on Pediatric Behavioral and Emotional Symptoms of 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome) trial. Based on the positive Phase 2 data, the Company will request a meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss the data and the regulatory path forward.

The Phase 2 trial was designed for signal detection by assessing the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Zygel (also known as ZYN002) for the treatment of behavioral symptoms of chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q) in children and adolescents. Zygel was administered to patients with 22q as add-on therapy to their standard of care and utilized a variety of efficacy assessments. Key findings from the trial disclosed today include:

• The total score and all five subscales of the Anxiety, Depression and Mood Scale (ADAMS) showed statistically significant improvements at 14 weeks of treatment compared to baseline;
• All five subscales of the Aberrant Behavior Checklist – Community (ABC-C) showed statistically significant improvements at 14 weeks of treatment compared to baseline;
• The Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale (PARS – R) showed statistically significant improvements at 14 weeks of treatment compared to baseline;
• The majority of patients showed clinically meaningful improvements at week 14 as demonstrated by the Clinical Global Impression – Improvement (CGI-I). Seventy-five percent of patients were rated by the clinicians as “improved”, “much improved” or “very much improved” with nearly two-thirds (62.5%) of the patients being “much improved” or “very much improved”;
• Zygel was shown to be well tolerated, and the safety profile was consistent with previously released data from other Zygel clinical trials.

“I am encouraged with the results from the INSPIRE trial, particularly with the potential for real reductions in general anxiety, social withdrawal, and social avoidance in children and adolescents with chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome,” said Tony J. Simon, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Davis School of Medicine and the UC Davis MIND Institute. “I’m especially encouraged that ZYN002 is a unique, cannabidiol gel free of THC and manufactured to pharmaceutical specifications. Children and adolescents with 22q should avoid THC which may increase the likelihood of developing psychosis. I look forward to the further development of ZYN002 for this underserved population.”

“We believe the data from this Phase 2 trial are very encouraging and reinforce the potential of Zygel for the treatment of behavioral symptoms in children and adolescents with 22q, and we look forward to discussing the regulatory path forward with the FDA with these data in hand,” said Armando Anido, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zynerba. “In the near term, we will focus our resources on completing the RECONNECT trial for children and adolescents with Fragile X syndrome and progressing 22q.”

INSPIRE Trial Design
The 14-week INSPIRE trial was an open-label, Phase 2 clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Zygel in children and adolescents (ages four through 15) with genetically-confirmed 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. Enrolled patients received weight-based doses of 250 mg or 500 mg daily of Zygel. Patients were allowed to increase the daily dose after six weeks of treatment to 500 mg and 750 mg if the investigator felt such increase was appropriate. One patient’s dose was increased from 250 mg to 500 mg, and no patients increased to 750 mg in the treatment period. At the completion of the trial, thirteen (13) patients entered into an extension study for up to six months.

Patient Disposition and Baseline Demographics
Twenty (20) patients were enrolled in the trial, which was conducted at two clinical sites in Australia and one clinical site in the U.S. All 20 patients are included in the safety analysis. Seventeen (17) patients completed the 14-week trial and three patients discontinued. One patient was lost to follow-up, one patient withdrew due to adverse events not related to Zygel, and one patient withdrew consent. Efficacy analyses included 16 patients as one patient did not have valid assessments at week 14.

The mean age of patients enrolled in the trial was 9.9 years, and twelve (60%) of the patients were male. Patients weighed between 13.7 and 79.8 kilograms (mean=37.4; median=33.5).

Top-line Efficacy Results
As a signal-seeking Phase 2 trial, multiple efficacy assessments were administered, including the Anxiety, Depression and Mood Scale (ADAMS), the Aberrant Behavior Checklist – Community (ABC-C), the Pediatric Anxiety Ratings Scale (PARS – R) and Clinical Global Impression – Severity and Improvement.

Safety Data
Zygel was shown to be well tolerated, and the safety profile was consistent with previously released data from other Zygel clinical trials. Three patients reported treatment related adverse events which were all mild application site adverse events. One patient discontinued treatment due to adverse events not related to Zygel.

Prioritizing Orphan Development Programs; Cash Runway Extended to Late 2023 / Early 2024
In the near term the Company has decided to prioritize its resources on Fragile X syndrome (FXS) and 22q, both of which have been granted orphan drug designation by the FDA and both of which have no approved products. While the data from the Company’s autism spectrum disorder (ASD) clinical development program to date are compelling, given the difficult financing market, the Company will defer the start of the Phase 3 development program in ASD previously planned for the second half of 2022. As a result, the Company now believes its $69.7 million of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 are sufficient to fund planned operations and capital requirements through the end of 2023 or early 2024, after the expected availability of top line results from its confirmatory pivotal Phase 3 RECONNECT trial of Zygel in patients with FXS.

Conference call information

About 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (22q)
As the second most common chromosomal disorder after Down syndrome, 22q is caused by a small missing piece of the 22nd chromosome. The deletion occurs near the middle of the chromosome at a location designated q11.2. It is considered a mid-line condition, with physical symptoms including characteristic palate abnormalities, heart defects, immune dysfunction, and esophageal / GI issues, as well as debilitating neuropsychiatric and behavioral challenges. Anxiety is among the most common neuropsychiatric symptoms of 22q and researchers have found that for children with 22q, anxiety is linked to poorer adaptive behaviors such as self-care and communication skills that affect daily life. Children with 22q also experience withdrawn behavior, ADHD, cognitive impairment, and autism spectrum disorder that affect communication and social interaction. Later in life, they are at an increased risk of developing mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. It is estimated that 22q occurs in between one in 3,000 and one in 6,000 live births, suggesting that there are approximately 83,000 people living with 22q in the U.S.

About Zygel
Zygel is the first and only pharmaceutically-manufactured cannabidiol formulated as a patent-protected permeation-enhanced clear gel, designed to provide controlled drug delivery into the bloodstream transdermally (i.e. through the skin). Recent studies suggest that cannabidiol may modulate the endocannabinoid system and improve certain behavioral symptoms associated with neuropsychiatric conditions. Zygel is an investigational drug product in development for the potential treatment of behavioral symptoms associated with Fragile X syndrome (FXS), 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The Company has received orphan drug designation for cannabidiol, the active ingredient in Zygel, from the FDA and the European Commission for the treatment of FXS and by the FDA for the treatment of 22q. Additionally, Zygel has been designated a Fast Track development program for treatment of behavioral symptoms of FXS.

About Fragile X Syndrome (FXS)
FXS is a rare genetic developmental disability that is the leading known cause of both inherited intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder, affecting 1 in 3,600 to 4,000 males and 1 in 4,000 to 6,000 females. It is the most common inherited intellectual disability in males and a significant cause of intellectual disability in females, and the leading genetic cause of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The disorder negatively affects synaptic function, plasticity and neuronal connections, and results in a spectrum of intellectual disabilities and behavioral symptoms, such as social avoidance and irritability. In the U.S., there are approximately 78,000 people suffering with FXS, and approximately 121,000 in the EU and UK. We believe that approximately 60% of all patients with FXS have complete methylation of their FMR1 gene.

– Poster presentation highlights design enhancements incorporated into pivotal RECONNECT trial –

– Oral presentation demonstrates long-term safety and potential effectiveness of Zygel in children and adolescents with Fragile X syndrome –

Devon, PA, June 1, 2022 — Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZYNE), the leader in innovative pharmaceutically-produced transdermal cannabinoid therapies for rare and near-rare neuropsychiatric disorders, is presenting an oral podium presentation and a poster presentation at the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology Annual Meeting (ASCP 2022), being held May 31 – June 3, 2022, in Scottsdale, Ariz. Copies of the presentations are available on the Zynerba corporate website at http://zynerba.com/publications/.

“The RECONNECT trial provides us with an opportunity to confirm the positive results observed in a population of responders in our CONNECT-FX trial and further evaluate the effect of Zygel on behaviors associated with Fragile X syndrome (FXS),” said Armando Anido, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zynerba. “Furthermore, the interim results from the open-label extension trial support the long-term safety and potential effectiveness of Zygel in children and adolescents with FXS, with the greatest improvements seen in those with complete methylation of their FMR1 gene, the population for the primary efficacy analysis in RECONNECT.”

The presentation titled, “Long-Term Safety and Sustained Efficacy of ZYN002 Cannabidiol Transdermal Gel in Children and Adolescents with Fragile X Syndrome (ZYN2-CL-017),” includes data demonstrating that in the ongoing long-term safety and efficacy trial of Zygel in children and adolescents with FXS, improvement was seen in Social Avoidance in the full population, with the greatest improvement in patients with complete methylation of their FMR1 gene. Patients with complete methylation, who match the primary efficacy population in the ongoing confirmatory trial, RECONNECT, achieved and maintained clinically meaningful change in Social Avoidance, supporting one of the key design enhancements for RECONNECT. Zygel was well-tolerated with long-term administration with up to 38 months of exposure.

The poster titled, “RECONNECT (ZYN2-CL-033): Design of a Phase 3 Trial of ZYN002 Cannabidiol Transdermal Gel in Children and Adolescents with Fragile X Syndrome Based Upon Learnings from CONNECT-FX (ZYN2-CL-016) Completed During SARS-COV-2 Pandemic,” describes how learnings from CONNECT-FX, the first randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of Zygel in the treatment of FXS, shaped the design of RECONNECT. In addition to the primary endpoint of the RECONNECT trial being measured in patients who have a completely methylated FMR1 gene, the treatment period of the trial has been extended by four weeks and an additional weight-based dose has been added for participants weighing greater than 50kg. RECONNECT is expected to provide key data to determine the effectiveness of Zygel in FXS while using a design intended to reduce the burden of participation in a clinical trial for families with children and adolescents with FXS.
