Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US ^{Priced, NYSE American: APUS}

We are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company in the process of developing Apitox, an intradermally administered bee venom-based toxin. Our focus is primarily on developing innovative therapies that address inflammation and pain management symptoms associated with knee OA and, to a lesser extent, MS. Apitox is currently marketed and sold by Apimeds Inc. in South Korea as “Apitoxin” for the treatment of OA. Apimeds US is not associated with the market, sale and revenues generated from Apitoxin in South Korea, and Apitoxin has not yet been approved by the FDA for any indication. Apitox is a purified, pharmaceutical grade venom (bee venom), of the Apis mellifera, or western honeybee, which is classified by the FDA as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”). Apimeds Korea successfully completed Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III trials in OA in 2003, at which point Apitoxin was approved by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (“MFDA”) to treat pain and mobility in patients with OA. In 2013, the first of two required U.S. Phase III clinical trials was authorized to enroll patients to study the use of Apitoxin to study the same indication as approved in South Korea in 2023 — treatment of pain and lack of mobility in patients with OA. The Apimeds Korea Phase III OA Trial (330 patients) was completed in 2018, and displayed no serious adverse events.
