Arizona Tribune - IGC Pharma Reports 65% Patient Enrollment Milestone in Phase 2 CALMA Alzheimer's Agitation Trial

This milestone marks a significant step in advancing IGC-AD1, the Company's proprietary formulation, and demonstrates continued strong momentum toward full enrollment consistent with the goal of completing the trial in early 2026.

Enrollment has accelerated, meaningfully, supported by the Company's data-driven digital recruitment strategy. Approximately 25% of all participants enrolled to date were recruited through IGC Pharma's targeted social-media campaigns, while 75% were enrolled directly through clinical-site efforts.

"Our hybrid recruitment strategy combining site-driven outreach with precision digital campaigns has expanded patient access and accelerated enrollment. We remain focused on completing the trial efficiently, maintaining high data quality, and advancing IGC-AD1 as a potential new therapy for agitation in Alzheimer's disease," said Ram Mukunda, CEO of IGC Pharma.

Agitation is a disruptive and highly prevalent symptom affecting over 76% of individuals living with Alzheimer's disease. Interim analyses of the Phase 2 trial, previously announced by the Company, have shown clinical and statistically significant reductions in agitation, underscoring the therapeutic potential of IGC-AD1. The Company continues to expand its clinical operations and strengthen site performance across the United States and Canada.
