The granted patent includes claims directed to the proprietary IHL-42X composition and its associated therapeutic methods for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The patent is expected to have a baseline expiry date of 9 July 2040 and the Company is exploring its eligibility for patent term extension following potential U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, with a view to further enhancing the long-term exclusivity of the asset.

The grant of this patent represents a significant milestone in the advancement of IHL-42X and materially strengthens Incannex’s intellectual property portfolio supporting its lead clinical program. The Company continues to actively review data generated across the IHL-42X development program with the objective of filing additional patent applications to further expand and protect the commercial and strategic value of the asset.

IHL-42X is being developed as a novel oral combination therapy for the treatment of OSA, a condition with substantial unmet medical need, where long-term patient compliance and treatment effectiveness remain key challenges.
