Incannex Provides Shareholder Update Highlighting Clinical Progress, Capital Discipline, and EOY 2025 Strategic Focus
MELBOURNE, Australia and NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Incannex Healthcare Inc. (NASDAQ:IXHL)("Incannex" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing innovative combination therapies for high-impact medical conditions, provides a shareholder update highlighting recent progress across its clinical and corporate initiatives and outlining key priorities for the remainder of 2025.
Recent Highlights
- IHL-42X (OSA) Phase 2 – Statistically significant efficacy, outstanding patient-reported outcomes, and strong safety profile – Incannex reported Phase 2 data for IHL-42X demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful reductions in Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) of up to 83% from baseline, confirming the potential of IHL-42X to meaningfully improve disease severity in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The study also showed significant improvements across multiple sleep-quality and fatigue instruments, accompanied by an outstanding safety and tolerability profile.
Structured exit interviews reinforced the objective findings, with 57.6% of participants across the study, increasing to 78.6% of those assigned to the low dose group, reporting perceived improvement in their OSA. Of participants reporting an improvement in their OSA, 86.4% described the benefit as meaningful to daily life. Together, we believe these results demonstrate a potential consistent and meaningful treatment effect across both quantitative and qualitative measures - PSX-001 (psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy for Generalized Anxiety Disorder – GAD) Phase 2: Positive Topline Results – The Company reported statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements versus placebo across the primary endpoint (HAM-A) and multiple secondary measures (GAD-7, SDS, PHQ-9, and PWI), demonstrating both the robust efficacy and breadth of therapeutic impact of PSX-001. Participants experienced sustained symptom relief over 11 weeks, highlighting the durability of the treatment effect. The study also confirmed excellent tolerability and safety, with no serious adverse events reported. We believe these results underscore PSX-001's potential to set a new standard in the treatment of anxiety disorders, addressing a large unmet medical need with an innovative, well-tolerated therapy that could transform the lives of millions of patients worldwide.
- At-The-Market (ATM) Offering – The Company has not utilized its ATM facility since August 28, 2025, with the total number of shares on issue remaining unchanged at 347,705,507, as reported in the Company's Form 10-K. We believe this highlights the Company's strong balance sheet and capital efficiency, enabling the continued advancement of its lead clinical programs without the current need for further equity dilution. The decision reflects management's strategic discipline and unwavering focus on its goal of long-term shareholder value creation, reinforcing the strength of the Company's financial position and its confidence in near-term growth catalysts.
Priorities for the Remainder of 2025
- Regulatory engagement and late-stage advancement - Following two successful Phase 2 readouts, Incannex is prioritizing regulatory engagement and next-phase planning to support the advancement of IHL-42X and PSX-001 into pivotal development. The Company is actively working through the next steps of engagement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including preparation for formal interactions and related development planning activities. These discussions are focused on defining the optimal pathway for late-stage studies, clinical design considerations, and potential regulatory designations to support expedited review.
Incannex expects to provide the market with a further update once these FDA interactions have concluded and the forward development strategy for each asset is confirmed. - Operational readiness and study execution - The Company is prioritizing activities that maintain clinical momentum, data integrity, and capital discipline as programs progress
- Capital allocation discipline - Incannex continues to evaluate opportunities to deploy capital prudently in support of value-creating milestones, including, as appropriate, utilization of the previously authorized repurchase program
- Strategic collaboration and partnership exploration - The Company also intends to evaluate partnership, co-development, and joint-venture opportunities with aligned organizations to advance its science, expand platform applications, and build tangible long-term value for all stakeholders
Incannex President and CEO Joel Latham commented, "We are exceptionally proud of the progress Incannex has achieved this year. We believe the statistically significant, up to 83% reduction in AHI demonstrated in our IHL-42X Phase 2 trial represents a compelling efficacy outcome in obstructive sleep apnoea drug development. and that these results highlight IHL-42X's potential to transform the treatment landscape for millions of people living with OSA.
Our positive Phase 2 results for PSX-001 demonstrated durable and clinically meaningful improvements in anxiety symptoms. Together, we believe these achievements underscore the strength of our scientific foundation and the quality of our execution across multiple therapeutic areas.
With two successful Phase 2 trials completed and the recent Nasdaq extension secured, Incannex is operating from a position of strength. We believe the extension affords us the opportunity to capitalise on the pillars we have built throughout 2025 — strong clinical validation, disciplined capital management, and a clear regulatory pathway — as we advance toward late-stage development and strategic growth initiatives.
We are executing with focus and intent, exploring partnerships that can accelerate our impact, and driving forward with confidence as we work to deliver innovative therapies that redefine standards of care and create enduring value for our shareholders."
