("Ananda" or the "Company") 

Publication of Ananda's Phase 1 study on clinicaltrials.gov

Ananda Pharma plc (AQSE: ANA, OTCQB: ANANF), a UK-based biopharmaceutical company developing regulatory approved cannabidiol medicines to treat complex, chronic conditions is pleased to announce that the Company's Phase 1 pharmacokinetic (PK) study has been published on clinicaltrials.gov, with reference number NCT06854783.

MRX1 is Ananda's lead investigational cannabidiol (CBD) drug candidate in development for complex chronic inflammatory pain conditions. It is derived from high-purity, pharmaceutical-grade CBD, manufactured to EU GMP quality control standards to ensure consistency and stability.

The posting of the PK study on ClinicalTrials.gov is a required step in the lead-up to the commencement of clinical trials as it ensures transparency, ethical compliance, and alignment with international standards.

The Company intends to use the data generated from the trial to support its drug development pipeline, for future regulatory submissions in markets like the U.S and potentially to publish in high-impact medical journals.

Public registration of the trial in advance of commencement can also help raise awareness among potential participants by making trial information such as objectives, eligibility criteria, and contact details readily accessible.

Ananda's CEO, Melissa Sturgess commented: "The behind-the-scenes work is now starting to show in the public arena and demonstrates our commitment to the development of regulatory approved CBD medicines which are available to everyone who needs them, not just those who can afford them."
