Nature of Operations [Text Block]	NOTE 1 – BUSINESS DESCRIPTION Overview IGC Pharma, Inc., is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company with a diversified revenue model that develops prescription drugs and over-the-counter (OTC) products. We are a Maryland corporation established in 2005 with a fiscal year that is a 52- or 53-week period that ends on March 31. Our focus is on developing innovative therapies for neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, Tourette syndrome, and sleep disorders. We also focus on formulations for eating disorders, chronic pain, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and dysmenorrhea, in addition to health and wellness OTC formulations. The Company is developing its proprietary lead candidate, IGC-AD1, an investigational oral therapy for the treatment of agitation associated with Alzheimer’s disease. IGC-AD1 is currently in Phase 2 (Phase 2B) clinical trials after completing nearly a decade of research and realizing positive results from pre-clinical and a Phase 1 trial. This previous research into IGC-AD1 has demonstrated efficacy in reducing plaques and tangles, which are two important hallmarks of Alzheimer’s, as well as reducing neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with dementia in Alzheimer’s disease, such as agitation. IGC has two segments: Life Sciences and Infrastructure. Life Sciences Segment Pharmaceutical: Since 2014, the Company has focused primarily on the potential uses of phytocannabinoids, in combination with other compounds, to treat multiple diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease. As a company engaged in the clinical-stage pharmaceutical industry, we focus our research and development efforts, subject to results of future clinical trials, on seeking pharmaceutical solutions that may a) alleviate neuropsychiatric symptoms such as agitation, anxiety, and depression associated with dementia in Alzheimer’s disease; and b) halt the onset, progression, or cure Alzheimer’s disease. The Company currently has two main investigational small molecules in various stages of development: 1) IGC-AD1, our proprietary lead therapeutic candidate, is a Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) based formulation that has demonstrated in Alzheimer’s cell lines the potential to reduce the buildup of Aβ plaques and the potential to decrease or inhibit the phosphorylation of tau, a protein that is responsible for the formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), both important hallmarks of Alzheimer’s. In addition, Phase 1 human trial results demonstrated IGC-AD1’s potential to reduce agitation in dementia due to Alzheimer’s. IGC-AD1 is currently in Phase 2B trials for treating agitation in dementia from Alzheimer’s, a condition that affects over 10 million individuals in North America and Europe, and 2) TGR-63, non-cannabinoid small molecule that has shown promise in pre-clinical trials for reducing amyloid burden in an Alzheimer’s disease model. In Alzheimer’s, the accumulation of beta-amyloid protein in the brain leads to the formation of Aβ plaques, which are associated with neurotoxicity and cell dysfunction, ultimately leading to cell death and cognitive decline. The potential efficacy of TGR-63 lies in its ability to inhibit the aggregation of beta-amyloid. If shown to be safe and efficacious in human trials in reducing the formation of Aβ plaques, this molecule could halt the neurotoxic process caused by beta-amyloid, thereby preventing or treating Alzheimer’s. Over-the-Counter Products: We have created a women’s wellness brand, Holief™ available through online channels that are compliant with relevant federal, state, and local laws, and regulations. Holief™ is an all-natural, non-GMO, vegan, line of over the counter (OTC) products aimed at treating menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea) and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). The products are available online and through Amazon and other online channels. In addition, we sell our product formulations to other companies that market them under their brand. This is the white label part of the OTC business. Phase 2 Clinical Trial Typically, a Phase 2 trial is divided into a Phase 2A and a Phase 2B trial with the former designed to assess dosing requirements and the latter to establish efficacy.

The Company has initiated a Phase 2B protocol titled “A Phase 2, Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, trial of the safety and efficacy of IGC-AD1 on agitation in participants with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease”. The protocol is powered at 146 Alzheimer’s patients, with half receiving placebo, and is a superiority, parallel group study. The primary end point is agitation in dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease as rated by the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) over a six-week period. The Phase 2 trial will also look at eleven exploratory objectives, including changes in anxiety, changes in cognitive processes such as attention, orientation, language, and visual spatial skills as well as memory, changes in depression, delusions, hallucinations, euphoria/elation, apathy, disinhibition, irritability, aberrant motor behavior, sleep disorder, appetite, quality of life, and caregiver burden. In addition, the trial will evaluate the impact of CYP450 polymorphisms and specifically CYP2C9 on each of the NPS and assess any reductions in psychotropic drugs, among others. CYP2C9 ranks amongst the most important drug metabolizing enzymes in humans, as it breaks down over 100 drugs, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory all drugs.

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Overview

IGC Pharma, Inc., is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company with a diversified revenue model that develops prescription drugs and over-the-counter (OTC) products. We are a Maryland corporation established in 2005 with a fiscal year that is a 52- or 53-week period that ends on March 31.

Our focus is on developing innovative therapies for neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, Tourette syndrome, and sleep disorders. We also focus on formulations for eating disorders, chronic pain, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and dysmenorrhea, in addition to health and wellness OTC formulations. The Company is developing its proprietary lead candidate, IGC-AD1, an investigational oral therapy for the treatment of agitation associated with Alzheimer’s disease. IGC-AD1 is currently in Phase 2 (Phase 2B) clinical trials after completing nearly a decade of research and realizing positive results from pre-clinical and a Phase 1 trial. This previous research into IGC-AD1 has demonstrated efficacy in reducing plaques and tangles, which are two important hallmarks of Alzheimer’s, as well as reducing neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with dementia in Alzheimer’s disease, such as agitation.

IGC has two segments: Life Sciences and Infrastructure.

Life Sciences Segment

Pharmaceutical: Since 2014, the Company has focused primarily on the potential uses of phytocannabinoids, in combination with other compounds, to treat multiple diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease. As a company engaged in the clinical-stage pharmaceutical industry, we focus our research and development efforts, subject to results of future clinical trials, on seeking pharmaceutical solutions that may a) alleviate neuropsychiatric symptoms such as agitation, anxiety, and depression associated with dementia in Alzheimer’s disease; and b) halt the onset, progression, or cure Alzheimer’s disease.

The Company currently has two main investigational small molecules in various stages of development:

1) IGC-AD1, our proprietary lead therapeutic candidate, is a Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) based formulation that has demonstrated in Alzheimer’s cell lines the potential to reduce the buildup of Aβ plaques and the potential to decrease or inhibit the phosphorylation of tau, a protein that is responsible for the formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), both important hallmarks of Alzheimer’s.

IGC-AD1 is currently in Phase 2B trials for treating agitation in dementia from Alzheimer’s, a condition that affects over 10 million individuals in North America and Europe, and

2) TGR-63, non-cannabinoid small molecule that has shown promise in pre-clinical trials for reducing amyloid burden in an Alzheimer’s disease model. In Alzheimer’s, the accumulation of beta-amyloid protein in the brain leads to the formation of Aβ plaques, which are associated with neurotoxicity and cell dysfunction, ultimately leading to cell death and cognitive decline. The potential efficacy of TGR-63 lies in its ability to inhibit the aggregation of beta-amyloid.
