BREAKTHROUGH R&D

Celadon’s focus is on developing novel cannabis-based prescription medicines that can be taken through clinical trials. This includes the discovery of novel cannabinoid-derived molecules and new delivery technologies. The programme is led by a highly experienced in-house team of drug development professionals, in combination with leading industry partnerships. 

Celadon’s R&D programme is currently focused on three priorities:

High-THC API

UK "specials" prescription medicines

Partnerships for licenced drugs

Kingdom Therapeutics is an early-stage biopharma focused on securing a fully
licensed cannabinoid-based treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Kingdom’s team are leaders in cannabinoids, ASD and inflammation

Autism is a significant opportunity, with an estimated market size of over $5bn by 2027 and limited drug options currently. Kingdom’s research drug, KT-20610, is being developed to treat an estimated patient population of over 500k children in USA alone. The treatment targets the link between gastrointestinal permeability (excessive gut leakiness)  and ASD and is backed by compelling pre-clinical data which shows that the lead product can significantly reduce gastrointestinal permeability and improve both behavioural and gastrointestinal function in ASD.

Celadon was an early investor in Kingdom and now has a circa 20% stake in the business. Additionally, Celadon has secured a supply agreement for the natural API that goes into KT-20610. If Kingdom’s treatment is successful, this will create significant demand for Celadon’s API.

 

ENVIRONMENT

Celadon uses a highly controlled indoor cultivation environment in order to produce plants to the tightest pharmaceutical tolerances and cannabinoid content. Hydroponics is used to grow plants in a soilless substrate, with mineral salts dissolved into high quality filtered water and delivered direct to the roots of the plant. Micro-zoned sensors monitor every aspect of the environment in real time; from the room’s temperature, lighting cycles and humidity, to the plant’s mineral absorption and transpiration rates. This allows Celadon to build a data bank of optimal growing conditions for each strain, as well as adjust the room automatically.

TRACKING

Celadon has a bespoke “track and trace” system throughout the production process, providing complete transparency. Each plant is given a unique QR code, allowing it to be traced from its origins through to the final product. IOT boxes are used to automatically feed data into the system, from environmental data to the product’s weight, at each stage of production. This provides full visibility over the production process, as well as inventory tracking and accurate cost analysis which feeds into our accounting systems.
