Adamis Pharma to Fund Clinical Study with University of Leiden Opioid Expert

By Chris Wack

 

Adamis Pharmaceuticals has committed to fund an unrestricted research grant to the Leiden University Medical Center Anesthesia and Pain Research Unit.

The funding will support the work of Albert Dahan, a world expert on opioid-induced respiratory depression and professor of anesthesiology at the university.

Dahan has been working with the FDA since 2020 to understand better methods of reversing fentanyl overdoses.

Dahan said that the objective of this collaboration will be to assess the efficacy of 5mg intramuscular ZIMHI versus 4mg of intranasal naloxone, which is comparable to Narcan and the respective number of doses required to reverse fentanyl-induced respiratory depression.

Adamis shares were up 5% to $1.72 in premarket trading.
