Oragenics (NYSE American: OGEN) a biotechnology company developing intranasal therapies for brain-related disorders, announced it has received approval from Australia’s Human Research Ethics Committee (“HREC”) to begin a Phase II clinical trial of ONP-002, its proprietary neuroprotective therapy for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), or concussion. The clearance enables the company to initiate patient enrollment as early as Q2 2025 at Level 1 trauma emergency departments, where concussed patients are often treated. ONP-002, a non-invasive intranasal formulation, has demonstrated safety in Phase I and efficacy in preclinical models by reducing inflammation, oxidative stress and brain swelling. CEO Janet Huffman said the approval marks a key step toward expanding the ONP-002 program internationally, with enrollment sites also under consideration in New Zealand.
