Lourdes Felix, CEO, CFO and Director of BioCorRx Inc., commented, “We are pleased to report progress on our upcoming first-in-human clinical trial of BICX104, an implantable biodegradable naltrexone pellet for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD), which is being developed under BioCorRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the Company’s controlled R&D subsidiary.”

“Last month, we announced that we have begun the recruiting and enrollment process for the clinical trial. This was a major milestone as it marks the next phase of development for BICX104. The BICX104 clinical study is a Phase 1, open-label, single-center study in two parallel groups of randomized healthy volunteers to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of BICX104 implantable subcutaneous naltrexone pellets and the marketed once a month intramuscular depot naltrexone injection. We are in the recruiting phase and look forward to providing progress updates as they become available.”

“Additionally, we saw an increase in revenue in the first quarter of 2022 due to the increased number of patients treated at licensed clinics. Furthermore, we were pleased to see that membership/program fees also increased for the first quarter of 2022 due to more customers signing up for our UnCraveRx™ Weight Loss Management Program.

At the same time, we continue to carefully manage expenses and reduced operating expenses by nearly 30%.” 

BICX104 is being developed in collaboration with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), under RFA DA-19-002,

Development of Medications to Prevent and Treat Opioid Use Disorders and Overdose (UG3/UH3) (Clinical Trial Optional).” The Company has an active Investigational New Drug (IND) status, and the FDA has deemed the 505(b)(2) abbreviated pathway acceptable, as well the opportunity to seek eventual dual indication on the product for OUD and Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). 

A copy of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and posted on the Company’s website at https://ir.biocorrx.com/.
