Zynerba Pharmaceuticals Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results and Operational Highlights

Enrollment continues in RECONNECT, a confirmatory pivotal Phase 3 trial of Zygel™ in patients with Fragile X syndrome; topline results expected first-half 2024

$44.4 million in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2023; Cash runway to mid-year 2024

Proposal for a reverse stock split is on the agenda for June 13, 2023 annual meeting of stockholders to satisfy the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market

Devon, PA, May 15, 2023 —  Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZYNE), the leader in innovative pharmaceutically-produced transdermal cannabinoid therapies for orphan neuropsychiatric disorders, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023, and provided an overview of recent operational highlights and a pipeline update.

“The first quarter of 2023 was a period of continued focus and execution on our two lead programs with Zygel,” said Armando Anido, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zynerba. “During the quarter we continued to enroll patients in our confirmatory pivotal Phase 3 RECONNECT trial as we are committed to bringing the first pharmaceutical product indicated for the treatment of behavioral symptoms of Fragile X syndrome to market. In addition, we expect continued dialogue with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2023 regarding an acceptable trial design for our Phase 3 program in patients with 22q deletion syndrome, with the goal of finalizing a trial design by the end of 2023.”

Operational Highlights and Pipeline Update

Zygel in Fragile X Syndrome (FXS)

  • The Company expects topline results from RECONNECT, a confirmatory pivotal Phase 3 trial of Zygel in patients with FXS, in the first half of 2024. The Company believes that the results from RECONNECT, if positive, will be sufficient to support the submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) in the U.S. and a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) in Europe for Zygel in patients with FXS.
  • The Company presented data at the 55th Gatlinburg Conference in April 2023 demonstrating that in the ongoing long-term safety and efficacy trial of Zygel in children and adolescents with FXS, Zygel was well-tolerated with long-term administration with up to 45 months of exposure. Patients with complete methylation, who match the primary efficacy population in the ongoing confirmatory trial, RECONNECT, achieved and maintained clinically meaningful changes in Social Avoidance over 24 months, further supporting this design enhancement for RECONNECT. (Press Release)

Zygel in 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (22q)

  • As previously disclosed, based on the positive Phase 2 INSPIRE trial data announced in June 2022 (Press Release), the Company held an initial meeting with the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2022 to obtain feedback on the Phase 2 data and regulatory pathway for Zygel in patients with 22q. The Company expects to continue its productive dialogue with the FDA on this topic and arrive at an acceptable trial design by the end of 2023. The Company currently plans to initiate a Phase 3 program in children and adolescents with 22q following topline results from RECONNECT.
  • The Company presented data at the 55th Gatlinburg Conference in April 2023 that showed through 38-weeks of treatment, statistically significant improvements were seen in children and adolescents treated with Zygel in the Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale (PARS-R), all five scales of the Anxiety, Depression and Mood Scale (ADAMS), and all five subscales of the Aberrant Behavior Checklist – Community (ABC-C). These results are consistent with the previously reported 14-week treatment data suggesting a positive risk-benefit profile for Zygel in improving anxiety-related and other behavioral symptoms in children and adolescents with 22q when added to standard of care. (Press Release).

Corporate – Reverse Stock Split

  • Zynerba intends to seek approval of a reverse stock split at its Annual Meeting of Stockholders in June (Annual Meeting), which it would effect any time prior to November 1, 2023. Details of the reverse stock split are included in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting. The primary objective of implementing a reverse split is to satisfy the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company’s Board believes that effecting the reverse split would increase the price of our common stock which would, among other things, help the Company to:
    • Meet certain continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market;
    • Appeal to a broader range of investors to generate interest in the Company; and
    • Improve perception of the Company’s common stock as an investment security.

Stockholders of record are encouraged to review the proxy materials filed with the SEC before voting. If stockholders have any questions or need assistance with processing their vote, please contact MacKenzie Partners, Inc. (email: proxy@mackenziepartners.com, or call toll free: 1-800-322-2885), Zynerba’s proxy solicitor.

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Research and development expenses were $7.1 million for the first quarter of 2023, including stock-based compensation of $0.4 million. General and administrative expenses were $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2023, including stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million. Net loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $10.1 million, with basic and diluted loss per share of $(0.21).

Financial Outlook
As of March 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were $44.4 million, compared to $50.6 million as of December 31, 2022.

On May 11, 2021, the Company entered into a Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement (2021 Sales Agreement), with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Canaccord Genuity, LLC, H.C. Wainwright & Co. LLC and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., as sales agents, pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, up to $75.0 million of its common stock. We are currently subject to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, and the amount of funds we can raise through primary public offerings of securities in any twelve-month period using our existing registration statement on Form S-3 is limited to one-third of the aggregate market value of the voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates. We will be subject by this limit until such time as our public float exceeds $75.0 million. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company sold and issued 1,179,077 shares of its common stock under the 2021 Sales Agreement in the open market resulting in gross proceeds of $0.7 million and net proceeds of $0.6 million, after deducting commissions and offering expenses.

On July 21, 2022, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (2022 Purchase Agreement) and registration rights agreement for up to $20.0 million with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (LPC), a Chicago-based institutional investor. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company sold and issued 2,100,000 shares of its common stock under the 2022 Purchase Agreement resulting in gross and net proceeds of $1.1 million. From April 1, 2023 through May 11, 2023, the Company sold and issued 150,000 shares of common stock under the Purchase Agreement resulting in gross and net proceeds of $0.1 million.

Management believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations and capital requirements to mid-year 2024. Top-line results from the Company’s confirmatory pivotal Phase 3 RECONNECT trial of Zygel in patients with FXS are expected in the first half of 2024.

About Zygel
Zygel is the first and only pharmaceutically-manufactured cannabidiol formulated as a patent-protected permeation-enhanced clear gel, designed to provide consistent drug delivery into the bloodstream transdermally (i.e. through the skin). Recent studies suggest that cannabidiol may modulate the endocannabinoid system and improve certain behavioral symptoms associated with neuropsychiatric conditions. Zygel is an investigational drug product in development for the potential treatment of behavioral symptoms associated with Fragile X syndrome (FXS) and 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q). The Company has received orphan drug designation for cannabidiol, the active ingredient in Zygel, from the FDA and the European Commission in the treatment of FXS and the treatment of 22q. Additionally, Zygel has been designated a Fast Track development program for treatment of behavioral symptoms of FXS.

Zynerba Pharmaceuticals Presents Data on Zygel™ at the 55th Gatlinburg Conference

Zygel continued to be well-tolerated with long-term administration and maintained clinically meaningful improvements in children and adolescents with Fragile X syndrome

Zygel achieved statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements from baseline in multiple efficacy assessments and was generally well-tolerated through 38 weeks of treatment in INSPIRE, a Phase 2 trial with Zygel in children and adolescents with 22q

DEVON, Pa., April 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZYNE), the leader in innovative pharmaceutically-produced transdermal cannabinoid therapies for orphan neuropsychiatric disorders, is presenting two posters at the 55th Gatlinburg Conference, being held April 10-13, 2023, in Kansas City, Mo. Copies of the posters are available on the Zynerba corporate website at www.zynerba.com/publications.

“New interim results from the open-label extension trial continue to support the long-term safety and sustained effectiveness of Zygel in children and adolescents with Fragile X syndrome (FXS), with the greatest improvements seen in those with complete methylation of their FMR1 gene, the population for the primary efficacy analysis in our pivotal RECONNECT trial,” said Armando Anido, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zynerba. “In addition, we believe data from the Phase 2 INSPIRE trial suggest the potential of Zygel as a treatment of anxiety and other behavioral symptoms in children and adolescents with 22q.”

The presentation titled, “Long-term Safety and Sustained Efficacy of ZYN002 Cannabidiol Transdermal Gel in Children and Adolescents with Fragile X Syndrome (ZYN2-CL-017),” includes data demonstrating that in the ongoing long-term safety and efficacy trial of Zygel in children and adolescents with FXS, Zygel was well-tolerated with long-term administration with up to 45 months of exposure. Patients with complete methylation, who match the primary efficacy population in the ongoing confirmatory trial, RECONNECT, achieved and maintained clinically meaningful changes in Social Avoidance over 24 months, further supporting this design enhancement for RECONNECT.

The poster titled, “An Open-Label Tolerability and Efficacy Study of ZYN002 (Cannabidiol) Administered as a Transdermal Gel to Children and Adolescents with 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (INSPIRE),” shows that through 38-weeks of treatment, statistically significant improvements were seen in children and adolescents treated with Zygel in the Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale (PARS-R), all five scales of the Anxiety, Depression and Mood Scale (ADAMS), and all five subscales of the Aberrant Behavior Checklist – Community (ABC-C). These results are consistent with the previously reported 14-week treatment data suggesting a positive risk-benefit profile for Zygel in improving anxiety-related and other behavioral symptoms in children and adolescents with 22q when added to standard of care.

About RECONNECT
RECONNECT is a Phase 3 trial of Zygel in patients with FXS ages 3 through 22 years. The trial was designed based upon learnings from the initial Phase 3 trial, CONNECT-FX, which demonstrated potential effectiveness of Zygel in patients with 100% methylation of their FMR1 gene. RECONNECT is actively enrolling participants 3 through 22 years of age. More information about the trial, including how to be contacted regarding potential participation, is available at www.fragilexhelp.com.

Zynerba Pharmaceuticals Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results and Operational Highlights

Enrollment continues in RECONNECT, a confirmatory pivotal Phase 3 trial of Zygel™ in patients with Fragile X syndrome; topline results expected first-half 2024

European Commission granted orphan drug designation for cannabidiol, the active ingredient in Zygel, in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome

$50.6 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2022; Cash runway to mid-year 2024

Devon, PA, March 28, 2023 – Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZYNE), the leader in innovative pharmaceutically-produced transdermal cannabinoid therapies for orphan neuropsychiatric disorders, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022, and provided an overview of recent operational highlights and a pipeline update.

“We remain focused on enrolling patients in our confirmatory pivotal Phase 3 RECONNECT trial, and expect topline results in the first half of 2024,” said Armando Anido, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zynerba. “We are committed to bringing the first pharmaceutical product indicated for the treatment of behavioral symptoms of Fragile X syndrome to market, and with a cash runway to mid-year 2024, we remain well-positioned on achieving that goal.”

Operational Highlights and Pipeline Update

Zygel in Fragile X Syndrome (FXS)

  • The Company expects topline results from RECONNECT, a confirmatory pivotal Phase 3 trial of Zygel in patients with FXS, in the first half of 2024. The Company believes that the results from RECONNECT, if positive, will be sufficient to support the submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) in the U.S. and a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) in Europe for Zygel in patients with FXS.
  • Published data in the Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders describing the role of the endocannabinoid system and cannabidiol therapy in FXS. The review of evidence suggests a central role for the endocannabinoid system in neuronal development and cognitive function and in the pathogenesis of FXS, and the potential role of cannabidiol as a treatment for FXS. (Press Release).
  • Published data from the Phase 3 CONNECT-FX study of Zygel in the Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders. The Phase 3 study demonstrated that patients with FXS who have a highly methylated FMR1 gene that were treated with Zygel showed a significant reduction in behavioral symptoms compared to those treated with placebo, and that Zygel was well tolerated. (Press Release).
  • The Company announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued a patent titled “Treatment of Fragile X Syndrome With Cannabidiol,” which includes claims directed to methods of treating FXS with cannabidiol. This new patent, which expires in 2038, is part of an expanding international intellectual property portfolio covering Zygel. (Press Release)

Zygel in 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (22q)

  • Based on the positive Phase 2 INSPIRE trial data announced in June 2022 (Press Release), the Company held an initial meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the fourth quarter of 2022 to obtain feedback on the Phase 2 data and regulatory pathway for Zygel in patients with 22q. The Company expects to continue its productive dialogue with the FDA on this topic and arrive at an acceptable trial design by the end of 2023. The Company currently plans to initiate a Phase 3 program in children and adolescents with 22q following topline results from RECONNECT.
  • In November 2022, the Company announced that the European Commission granted orphan drug designation to cannabidiol, the active ingredient in Zygel, for the treatment of 22q.
  • The Company presented positive long-term 38-week data from the Phase 2 INSPIRE trial with Zygel in children and adolescents with 22q at the 61st Annual Meeting of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology. The data showed that through 38-weeks of treatment, sustained, statistically significant improvements were seen in children and adolescents treated with Zygel in the Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale (PARS-R), all five scales of the Anxiety, Depression and Mood Scale (ADAMS), and all five subscales of the Aberrant Behavior Checklist – Community (ABC-C). These results are consistent with the previously reported 14-week treatment data suggesting a positive risk-benefit profile for Zygel in improving anxiety-related and behavioral symptoms in children and adolescents with 22q when added to a stable standard of care. (Press Release).
  • During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company announced that the USPTO issued a patent titled “Treatment of 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome With Cannabidiol,” which includes claims directed to methods of treating one or more behavioral symptoms of 22q with cannabidiol, and expires in 2040. (Press Release).

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Research and development expenses were $5.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, including stock-based compensation of $0.5 million. General and administrative expenses were $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, including stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $8.0 million, with basic and diluted loss per share of $(0.18).

Research and development expenses were $21.1 million for full year 2022, including stock-based compensation of $2.0 million. General and administrative expenses were $14.2 million for full year 2022, including stock-based compensation expense of $2.4 million. Net loss for full year 2022 was $35.0 million, with basic and diluted loss per share of $(0.82).

Financial Outlook

As of December 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were $50.6 million, compared to $67.8 million as of December 31, 2021. On March 13, 2023, the Company issued a statement confirming that it does not hold cash deposits or securities at Silicon Valley Bank.

On May 11, 2021, the Company entered into a Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement (2021 Sales Agreement), with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Canaccord Genuity, LLC, H.C. Wainwright & Co. LLC and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., as sales agents, pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, up to $75.0 million of its common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold and issued 4,608,274 shares of its common stock under the 2021 Sales Agreement in the open market resulting in gross proceeds of $6.2 million and net proceeds of $5.8 million, after deducting commissions and offering expenses. From January 1, 2023 through March 22, 2023, the Company sold and issued 1,179,077 shares of its common stock under the 2021 Sales Agreement in the open market resulting in gross proceeds of $0.7 million and net proceeds of $0.6 million, after deducting commissions and offering expenses.

On July 21, 2022, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement and registration rights agreement for up to $20 million with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (LPC), a Chicago-based institutional investor. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold and issued 350,000 shares of its common stock under the 2022 Purchase Agreement with LPC in the open market resulting in gross proceeds of $0.3 million and net proceeds of $0.2 million, after deducting offering expenses. From January 1, 2023 through March 22, 2023, the Company sold and issued 1,950,000 shares of its common stock under the Purchase Agreement, resulting in gross and net proceeds of $1.0 million.

Management believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations and capital requirements into mid-year 2024. Top-line results from the Company’s confirmatory pivotal Phase 3 RECONNECT trial of Zygel in patients with FXS are expected in the first half of 2024.

About Zygel

Zygel is the first and only pharmaceutically-manufactured cannabidiol formulated as a patent-protected permeation-enhanced clear gel, designed to provide drug delivery into the bloodstream transdermally (i.e. through the skin). Recent studies suggest that cannabidiol may modulate the endocannabinoid system and improve certain behavioral symptoms associated with neuropsychiatric conditions. Zygel is an investigational drug product in development for the potential treatment of behavioral symptoms associated with Fragile X syndrome (FXS), 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The Company has received orphan drug designation for cannabidiol, the active ingredient in Zygel, from the FDA and the European Commission in the treatment of FXS and the treatment of 22q. Additionally, Zygel has been designated a Fast Track development program for treatment of behavioral symptoms of FXS.

Zynerba Pharmaceuticals Announces Publication in the Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders Describing the Role of the Endocannabinoid System and Cannabidiol Therapy in Fragile X Syndrome

Comprehensive data review suggests a central role for the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in neuronal development, cognitive function and in the pathogenesis of Fragile X syndrome (FXS)

Cannabidiol may help restore the function of the ECS in FXS patients according to review of data

Consistent with the proposed mechanisms of action of cannabidiol in FXS, Zygel™ showed a significant reduction in behavioral symptoms, in patients with ≥90% methylation of the FMR1 gene, compared to those treated with placebo in the CONNECT-FX clinical study

Devon, PA, January 11, 2023 — Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZYNE), the leader in innovative pharmaceutically-produced transdermal cannabinoid therapies for orphan neuropsychiatric disorders, today announces the publication of a paper entitled, “Role of the Endocannabinoid System in Fragile X Syndrome: Potential Mechanisms for Benefit From Cannabidiol Treatment,” in the Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders. The review of evidence suggests a central role for the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in neuronal development and cognitive function and in the pathogenesis of Fragile X syndrome (FXS), and the potential role of cannabidiol as a treatment for FXS. The article can be accessed online at the Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders at https://rdcu.be/c25fu.

“This publication describes the potential of Zygel as a treatment for Fragile X syndrome based on the central role the endocannabinoid system plays in neuronal development and function,” said Armando Anido, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zynerba. “The proposed mechanisms of action of cannabidiol are supported by the results from our Phase 3 CONNECT-FX trial in patients with Fragile X syndrome with greater than or equal to 90% methylation of the FMR1 gene, benefited from treatment with Zygel. These findings bolster our confidence in the design of the ongoing, confirmatory, pivotal Phase 3 RECONNECT trial.”

FXS is caused by deficiency or absence of the FMR1 protein, FMRP. The absence of FMRP disrupts ECS signaling, which has been implicated in FXS pathogenesis. The ECS helps maintain neuronal function and signaling and is thought to be disrupted in FXS. Cannabidiol may help restore the function of the ECS in FXS according to a review of data to date. Cannabidiol may also act as an agonist on serotonin 5HT1A and other receptors which may contribute to beneficial effects in people with FXS. Consistent with these proposed mechanisms of action of cannabidiol in FXS, in the Phase 3 CONNECT-FX trial, Zygel was associated with improvements in measures of social avoidance, irritability and social interaction, particularly in patients showing ≥90% methylation of the FMR1 gene. Results from the CONNECT-FX study of Zygel for the treatment of behavioral symptoms in children and adolescents with FXS can be accessed online at the Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders at https://rdcu.be/c0sKz.

About Zygel
Zygel is the first and only pharmaceutically-manufactured cannabidiol formulated as a patent-protected permeation-enhanced clear gel, designed to provide controlled drug delivery into the bloodstream transdermally (i.e. through the skin). Recent studies suggest that cannabidiol may modulate the endocannabinoid system and improve certain behavioral symptoms associated with neuropsychiatric conditions. Zygel is an investigational drug product in development for the potential treatment of behavioral symptoms associated with Fragile X syndrome (FXS), 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The Company has received orphan drug designation for cannabidiol, the active ingredient in Zygel, from the FDA and the European Commission in the treatment of FXS and the treatment of 22q. Additionally, Zygel has been designated a Fast Track development program for treatment of behavioral symptoms of FXS.

About Fragile X Syndrome (FXS)
Fragile X syndrome is a rare genetic developmental disability that is the leading known cause of both inherited intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder, affecting 1 in 4,000 males and 1 in 6,000 females. It is the most common inherited intellectual disability in males and a significant cause of intellectual disability in females, and the leading genetic cause of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The disorder negatively affects synaptic function, plasticity and neuronal connections, and results in a spectrum of intellectual disabilities and behavioral symptoms, such as social avoidance and irritability. In the U.S., there are about 78,000 people suffering with FXS, approximately 60% of whom have complete methylation of the FMR1 gene.

FXS is caused by a mutation in FMR1, a gene which modulates a number of systems, including important effects on the endocannabinoid system, and most critically, codes for a protein called FMRP. This protein helps regulate the production of other proteins and plays a role in the development of synapses, which are critical for relaying nerve impulses, and in regulating synaptic plasticity. The FMR1 mutation manifests as multiple repeats of a DNA segment, known as the CGG triplet repeat. In most neurotypical people, the FMR1 gene correctly codes for the FMRP protein. As a result, FMRP is produced at levels that enable control over behaviors like social avoidance and anxiety. In people with full mutation of the FMR1 gene, the CGG segment is repeated more than 200 times, and in most cases causes the gene to not function. Methylation of the FMR1 gene also plays a role in determining functionality of the gene. For patients with complete methylation, no FMRP is produced. With no FMRP, the systems and processes that are modulated by FMRP become dysregulated.

Zynerba Pharmaceuticals Announces Update on RECONNECT, the Pivotal Phase 3 Trial of Zygel™ in Fragile X Syndrome

RECONNECT initial screening visits are being adversely impacted by environmental factors, such as the “Tripledemic” (high rates of RSV, influenza and COVID-19); topline results now expected first half of 2024

Cash runway extended to mid-year 2024 due to prioritization of resources on the completion of the RECONNECT trial

Devon, PA, December 21, 2022 — Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZYNE), the leader in innovative pharmaceutically-produced transdermal cannabinoid therapies for orphan neuropsychiatric disorders, today announced that the Company is revising its target for announcing topline results from the pivotal Phase 3 RECONNECT trial of Zygel in Fragile X syndrome (FXS). The Company now expects topline results in the first half of 2024, rather than the second half of 2023.

The impact of environmental factors including unusually high rates of RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) and influenza and the continued impact of COVID-19 among children, adolescents, family members, and investigational center personnel, has resulted in higher than expected cancellations of initial screening visits at the investigational centers which has led to slower than anticipated enrollment. Despite these issues, clinical investigators at the 27 sites in the U.S., Australia, the UK and Ireland remain committed to completing the trial.

“Though we are still striving to report topline results by the end of 2023, when we look at the current and projected impact of the Tripledemic, we believe that the first half of 2024 is a more reasonable timeframe to have topline results from RECONNECT,” said Armando Anido, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zynerba. “We have also prioritized our corporate business plans to focus almost exclusively on completing RECONNECT and now expect we have cash into mid-year 2024.”
