SARASOTA, FL, July 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Silo Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: SILO) ("Silo" or the "Company"), a developmental stage biopharmaceutical company focused on novel therapeutics and drug delivery systems, today announced completion of dosing in a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-requested 7-day safety and toxicology large animal study of its lead asset SPC-15, and bioanalytical and safety/toxicology results for such study are expected within 60 days.
"Our novel PTSD drug candidate SPC-15 has already shown strong safety and therapeutic delivery, and we are confident about the final data results from our preclinical discovery program," said Eric Weisblum, CEO of Silo. "We remain on track to conclude our two remaining final preclinical studies and planning to submit an investigational new drug (IND) application for SPC-15."
Two remaining SPC-15 studies are currently in progress or being planned: an IND-enabling GLP (Good Laboratory Practice)-compliant toxicology and toxicokinetic animal study, and a device study of SPC-15's formulation-specific microchip-based nasal spray system.
Silo plans to seek the FDA's 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for approval of SPC-15, a drug development route that can significantly shorten clinical timelines for FDA approval and reduce drug development costs.
