Devon, Pennsylvania-based Zynerba is a leader in innovative pharmaceutically-produced transdermal cannabinoid therapies for rare and near-rare neuropsychiatric disorders including Fragile X syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, and a heterogeneous group of rare and ultra-rare epilepsies known as developmental and epileptic encephalopathies.   

“We remain focused on enrolling patients into our confirmatory pivotal Phase 3 RECONNECT trial in children and adolescents with Fragile X Syndrome,” said Armando Anido, Zynerba’s CEO, in a statement.

The company started the Phase 3 study during the quarter ended September 30, 2021. RECONNECT is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Zygel, a cannabidiol formulated in a transdermal gel, in children and adolescents with Fragile X Syndrome.

Zynerba said it if results from RECONNECT positive, it will be enough to support the submission of a New Drug Application for Zygel in patients with FXS.

“(Zygel) has the potential to become the first FDA approved treatment option for the significant unmet medical need that affects FXS patients and their families,” Anido added.

During the quarter, Zynerba spent $6.3 million on research and development expenses. It posted a net loss of $10.6 million or $0.26 per share.
