AUSTIN, Texas, September 30, 2026 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The BioMedWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels.
The BioMedWire Podcast delivers dynamic interviews with industry experts at the forefront of pharmaceutical and biotech advancement. The latest episode features the return of Anthony Durkacz, Co-Founder and Executive Co-Chair of Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNTM), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to building a portfolio of innovative assets and biotech solutions for the treatment of challenging neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders and alcohol misuse disorders with drug candidates in different stages of development.
To begin the interview, Durkacz discussed Quantum BioPharma’s lead drug candidate, Lucid-MS, and its differentiated approach to addressing multiple sclerosis.
“Lucid-MS is a drug that’s going to Phase 2. For the first time, this is going to be tested on patients with multiple sclerosis,” Durkacz said. “With MS, people start to lose control of their bodies. The reason is almost like a light bulb that starts flickering. The reason it’s flickering is because it’s connected by a copper wire with a plastic coating… The connectors from our brains have a protective coating as well, and that is called myelin. Lucid-MS is targeting myelin, which is totally different than every single drug today in the market for MS.”
Durkacz then explained why the upcoming Phase 2 trial represents an important milestone for the Lucid-MS development program.
“This is going to be the first time that patients with MS actually get to try Lucid-MS,” he said. “Phase 1 is done on healthy people… Phase 2 now allows us to test it on patients with MS, and we are looking very specifically for one thing: Does it help give them control back of their bodies? Because there is no drug in the world today that does that.”
Turning to unbuzzd™, Durkacz highlighted the product’s clinical results as well as Quantum BioPharma’s equity interest in the company behind it.
“unbuzzd™ is a powder that you put into water that is clinically proven to help you sober up from alcohol faster,” Durkacz said. “We published a peer-reviewed journal on the study in March of 2026, so people can go and actually see, and every single person tested in the study saw an increase in their blood alcohol metabolism rate… unbuzzd™ is going through an IPO process as we speak. When they go public and have raised money, they intend to do a full marketing launch of the product. Quantum BioPharma owns approximately 20% of unbuzzd™. We also have a royalty stream at 7% up to $250 million.”
Join IBN’s Carmel Fisher for a fresh conversation with Anthony Durkacz, Co-Founder and Executive Co-Chair of Quantum BioPharma, as he provides an update on the company’s Lucid-MS Phase 2 program, the development and commercial opportunity surrounding unbuzzd™, and the key milestones investors can watch for moving forward.

AUSTIN, Texas, September 18, 2026 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The BioMedWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels.
The BioMedWire Podcast delivers dynamic interviews with industry experts at the forefront of pharmaceutical and biotech advancement. The latest episode features Dr. Ehud Geller, Executive Chairman and CEO of Regentis Biomaterials Ltd. (NYSE American: RGNT), a regenerative medicine company focused on innovative tissue repair solutions.
To begin the interview, Geller provided an overview of Regentis’ regenerative medicine platform and its lead product, GelrinC®, which is being developed to treat cartilage injuries in the knee.
“Our company, Regentis, is focused on developing technologies for regeneration of tissue, hence the name,” Geller said. “In our particular case, we have a platform from which we can develop a variety of applications. Currently, our lead product is called GelrinC®. Gelrin is the platform and C stands for cartilage, and we are specifically focused on treating cartilage injuries to the knee. We are already approved for marketing in Europe, and we are in the midst of our clinical trial, the pivotal trial which will get us permission from the FDA to start marketing in the U.S.”
Turning to the market opportunity, Geller discussed the prevalence of cartilage injuries among knee-related conditions and the size of the U.S. market Regentis is targeting.
“We believe that there are two layers to that market. The very obvious one: a patient comes to the doctor suffering from pain in his knee, and he would probably have one of three potential pathologies,” Geller said. “The major one, covering more than 50% of the cases, is ours. The total U.S. market annually is 470,000 cases a year, and that is the size of the market currently untreated.”
Looking at Regentis’ priorities for the remainder of 2026, Geller highlighted continued enrollment in the company’s U.S. pivotal study as well as efforts to advance commercialization in Europe.
“We want to finish enrolling the balance of our patients for the U.S. pivotal study, which we’re now running,” Geller said. “We’re in the midst of that study, and our team is right now opening more sites for a clinical study in the U.S. to speed up the enrollment, which we hope to finish by approximately the end of the year. Another thing that we’re doing is working quite actively on commercialization. We have approval in Europe, so we are permitted already to market and sell in Europe. Following our IPO, we started activities toward that. We are in discussion with a number of distribution systems and/or strategic major orthopedic companies in Europe.”
To close the interview, Dr. Geller said, “The message we bring to the market is one of a short, 10-minute procedure with two weeks of recovery, and I must say we've put in front of us durability as a slogan for the company. We need to treat patients in a way that will hold for a long time.”
Join IBN’s Stuart Smith for a conversation with Dr. Ehud Geller, Executive Chairman and CEO of Regentis Biomaterials, as he further explores GelrinC®, the company’s U.S. pivotal study and European commercialization strategy, the market opportunity for cartilage repair, its broader regenerative medicine platform, intellectual property portfolio and key development and commercial milestones.

BioMedWire Editorial Coverage: Multiple sclerosis (“MS”) drugs on the market today can slow the disease down, but none of them stop it, and none of them give patients back what they have already lost. Nearly one million people in the United States, and close to 2.9 million worldwide, live with that reality, watching a disease that can gradually erode mobility, vision, and basic bodily control. That gap has just gotten a serious new challenger. Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNTM) (Profile) has received FDA clearance to begin a phase 2 trial of Lucid-MS, a patented, first-in-class drug candidate aimed not at calming the immune system but at protecting and potentially repairing the myelin sheath itself. The clearance sets the stage for what would be the first time in history that a drug candidate built on this specific mechanism is tested in people living with the MS disease, a milestone significant enough that it has already drawn a fresh buy rating from Wall Street analysts. This momentum places Quantum BioPharma solidly in a group of leading companies focused on the treatment of serious diseases and areas of significant unmet medical need across vaccines, ophthalmology and neurological disease, including Sanofi (NASDAQ: SNY), Roche Holding AG (OTCQX: RHHBY), Biogen Inc. (NASDAQ: BIIB) and Clene Inc. (NASDAQ: CLNN).
- Research indicates that MS affects an estimated one million people in the United States and approximately 2.9 million people worldwide.
- The FDA’s clearance of Quantum BioPharma’s Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application marks a genuinely rare moment in MS research.
- In addition to the upcoming phase 2 drug trial, Quantum BioPharma has spent more than a year building a parallel research partnership with scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital (“MGH”) and Harvard Medical School.
- Lucid-MS, also known by its research designation Lucid-21-302, is built around a different theory of how to target MS progression.
- Clinical milestones matter to patients, but they also move markets, and Quantum BioPharma has recently drawn fresh attention from Wall Street analysts.

BioMedWire Editorial Coverage: Multiple sclerosis (“MS”) robs people of control over their own bodies — slowly, relentlessly and without a cure. More than 2.9 million people worldwide are living with MS today, and despite decades of research, every approved treatment falls short of the same fundamental goal: stopping the disease cold. Current therapies can slow progression, but they cannot halt it, and for millions of patients, that gap means a future of worsening disability. Now, Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNTM) (CSE: QNTM) (Profile) is challenging that reality. The company is advancing Lucid-MS, a patented, first-in-class drug candidate that takes a fundamentally different approach by directly targeting the myelin sheath that MS destroys, and this new drug candidate is preparing to enter phase 2 clinical trials. Quantum BioPharma is one of several companies focused on the development
and commercialization of therapies for neurological, autoimmune and immune-mediated diseases, including Sanofi (NASDAQ: SNY), Roche Holding AG (OTCQX: RHHBY), Biogen Inc. (NASDAQ: BIIB) and Clene Inc. (NASDAQ: CLNN).
- What makes MS particularly devastating is its progressive nature.
- Rather than targeting the immune system, Quantum BioPharma’s Lucid-MS targets the myelin sheath.
- The case for Lucid-MS is grounded in more than a decade of rigorous science.
- Quantum BioPharma’s path to phase 2 has been methodical and deliberate.

BioMedWire Editorial Coverage: Cancer research is entering one of its most dynamic periods in decades. The class of drugs known as DNA Damage Response inhibitors, which work by blocking cancer cells’ ability to repair their own damaged DNA, is expanding rapidly beyond its original anchor, the PARP inhibitor. DDRi therapies collectively represented an estimated $7-plus billion in global sales in 2025, and the broader oncology, diagnostics and precision medicine markets are projected to climb to roughly $750 billion by 2030. New inhibitor classes are emerging as the next major wave. Sitting at the forefront of this shift is Onco-Innovations Limited (CBOE CA: ONCO) (OTCQB: ONNVF), (Profile) a Canadian clinical-stage oncology company developing ONC010(TM), a nanoparticle-encapsulated PNKP inhibitor that targets a DNA repair enzyme involved in multiple DNA repair pathways. As the field races to find the next generation of synthetic lethality assets, Onco-Innovations occupies a unique space as it strengthens its position in the biopharmaceutical and biotechnology sector, along with other leading companies, such as AstraZeneca plc (NYSE: AZN), Aprea Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: APRE), Boundless Bio Inc. (NASDAQ: BOLD) and Foghorn Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: FHTX), that are focused on developing therapies for serious diseases, particularly cancer.
- PARP inhibitors transformed oncology when they arrived in the clinic more than a decade ago, but they are only one entry point into a complex biological system.
- Onco-Innovations holds exclusive global rights to a foundational portfolio of PNKP inhibitor technology.
- The company’s preclinical program has produced specific, measurable results that support the biological rationale for PNKP inhibition in solid tumors.
- ONCO holds exclusive global rights across three distinct layers of protection, each reinforcing the others.

BioMedWire Editorial Coverage: The human brain remains one of the most protected, and difficult to treat, organs in the body. At the center of this challenge is the blood-brain barrier (BBB), a biological defense system that prevents most therapeutics from reaching the central nervous system (“CNS”). As Alzheimer’s disease cases rise globally and governments intensify focus on biodefense preparedness, the inability to deliver drugs effectively to the brain is emerging as a critical bottleneck in modern medicine. With this in mind, innovative companies, including Oncotelic Therapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: OTLC) (Profile), are working within a broader industry shift toward advanced delivery platforms designed to bypass traditional barriers and facilitate rapid, targeted access to the brain. Oncotelic’s approach, which includes a proprietary intranasal nose-to-brain (“N2B”) system that enables rapid therapeutic delivery, reflects a growing recognition that solving CNS delivery, not just drug discovery, may be key to unlocking the next generation of therapies. Oncotelic joins a group of leading biopharma companies focused on cutting-edge therapeutic platforms and large-scale drug development in a range of treatment areas, including Biogen Inc. (NASDAQ: BIIB), Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA), CytoDyn Inc. (OTCQB: CYDY) and Northwest Biotherapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: NWBO).
- Oncotelic Therapeutics is focused on advancing technologies designed to bypass or overcome BBB limitations.
- The global burden of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias is increasing at an unprecedented rate.
- Beyond chronic diseases, CNS drug delivery is also a critical factor in biodefense and national security.
- As traditional drug-delivery approaches continue to face limitations, alternative methods designed to bypass the BBB, such as those being developed by Oncotelic, are gaining increasing attention.
- The future of CNS therapeutics is increasingly centered on platform-based solutions rather than single-drug strategies.
