IGC Pharma's AHA Agentic AI Platform Reduces Alzheimer's Data Harmonization Time by 90% in Representative Workflow
https://www.accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/biotechnology/igc-pharmas-aha-agentic-ai-platform-reduces-alzheimers-data-harmonization-time-by-90-1180813
Patent-Pending Multi-Agent Architecture Targets Fragmented Biomedical Data and Expands Toward Imaging, Omics, and Broader Health-Data Applications Ahead of Planned AAIC 2026 Demonstration in London
POTOMAC, MD / ACCESS Newswire / June 23, 2026 / IGC Pharma, Inc. (NYSE American:IGC) ("IGC" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease and AI-enabled healthcare technologies, today announced the beta version of its proprietary Agentic Harmonization Assistant ("AHA"), an enterprise software platform designed to accelerate the harmonization of fragmented Alzheimer's and aging-related datasets.
The announcement comes as IGC advances IGC-AD1, its lead Phase 2 Alzheimer's candidate for agitation associated with Alzheimer's dementia, positioning the Company at the intersection of Alzheimer's therapeutics and AI-enabled pharmaceutical discovery.
"Artificial intelligence is changing how medicines are discovered and developed, but AI models are only as powerful as the data they can learn from," said Ram Mukunda, CEO of IGC Pharma. "Our vision is for AHA to become a trusted infrastructure layer that helps pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, government agencies, and healthcare data organizations convert fragmented biomedical datasets into interoperable, reusable, and AI-ready discovery assets."
In internal testing using an Alzheimer's structured-data workflow involving 100 variables, AHA reduced harmonization time from 28 hours of manual processing to 2.5 hours, including human verification of results - a 90% reduction in workflow time for that representative test case. The result reflects this specific workflow, and performance may vary depending on dataset complexity, data quality, and user workflow. The Company has also received feedback from external beta testers reporting similar time-saving potential in comparable data environments.
AHA was developed from an operational bottleneck IGC encountered while building MINT-AD, the Company's predictive Alzheimer's risk-stratification engine. Training and deploying disease-specific AI models requires large, harmonized datasets; however, preparing those datasets manually proved slow, repetitive, and difficult to scale. AHA was created to solve that bottleneck for IGC's own discovery work and is now being positioned for broader pharmaceutical, academic, government, and healthcare data applications where fragmented datasets can slow biomarker discovery, cohort generation, cross-study analysis, and clinical development.
AHA addresses this challenge through a patent-pending multi-agent architecture that coordinates specialized digital agents to profile datasets, identify and prioritize related variables, propose mappings, generate transformation logic, score confidence, flag uncertain matches for human review, and produce validation-ready outputs. The system is designed to accelerate discovery by reducing the repetitive manual work required to make complex datasets interoperable.
IGC Pharma expects to demonstrate AHA in connection with the Alzheimer's Disease Data Initiative's AD Workbench ecosystem during the Alzheimer's Association International Conference ("AAIC") 2026, scheduled for July 12-15 in London. The planned showcase is intended to demonstrate AHA's ability to support rapid cohort generation, cross-study analysis, and accelerated open-science collaboration.
The Company believes AHA's neurodegenerative focus represents a high-value entry point into a broader healthcare data challenge. IGC Pharma is expanding AHA's architecture to support additional biomedical modalities, including imaging such as MRI, PET, and CT, as well as omics, including genomics and proteomics. The Company believes the platform may support future software licensing, cloud-infrastructure partnerships, and disease-specific deployments across pharmaceutical, academic, government, and healthcare data sectors.
Separately, the Company's lead therapeutic asset, IGC-AD1, is currently being evaluated in the Phase 2 CALMA clinical trial for agitation associated with Alzheimer's dementia. As previously announced, CALMA has reached 100% of its baseline randomization target. The Company is currently completing limited over-enrollment and expects to proceed thereafter with patient follow-up, database activities, and topline analysis.

Company Continuing Limited Over-Enrollment Activities to Account for Attrition and Support Robust Modified Intent-to-Treat, End-of-Treatment and Exploratory Analyses
POTOMAC, MD / ACCESS Newswire / June 11, 2026 / IGC Pharma, Inc. (NYSE American:IGC) ("IGC" or the "Company") today announced that its Phase 2 CALMA trial evaluating IGC-AD1 for agitation associated with Alzheimer's dementia has reached the Company's previously disclosed target enrollment of 146 patients, with 146 participants randomized at baseline.
The Company's prior enrollment updates described progress toward this 146-patient target. Based on observed and potential attrition between baseline, Week 2, and end-of-treatment assessments, IGC Pharma plans to continue limited over-enrollment to support the target evaluable population and strengthen the robustness of the dataset ahead of database activities and topline analysis.
"Reaching 146 baseline randomizations is an important operational milestone for CALMA and reflects the dedication of our investigators, study coordinators, patients, and caregivers," said Ram Mukunda, CEO of IGC Pharma. "As the trial enters its final phase, our focus is on generating a high-quality, evaluable dataset that can support a meaningful topline analysis and the continued development of IGC-AD1 for agitation."
The CALMA trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study evaluating IGC-AD1 in patients experiencing agitation associated with Alzheimer's dementia. Agitation remains one of the most challenging neuropsychiatric symptoms affecting individuals living with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers, creating a significant need for additional therapeutic options.
Following completion of limited over-enrollment activities and patient follow-up, IGC Pharma expects to proceed with database activities, site closeout activities, and subsequent topline analysis.

IGC Pharma Secures Psilocybin Research Authorization, Expanding Focus on Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in DementiaApril 20, 2026 8:30 AM
ACCESS NewswireAuthorization provides regulated capability to evaluate emerging therapeutic approaches alongside Phase 2 CALMA trial approaching completionPOTOMAC, MD / ACCESS Newswire / April 20, 2026 / IGC Pharma, Inc. (NYSE American:IGC) ("IGC" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease, today announced that on April 9, 2026, it received authorization in Colombia to synthesize, formulate, and conduct development activities involving psilocybin at its research and development facility in Bogotá. The authorization, granted under the oversight of the Fondo Nacional de Estupefacientes (FNE), provides IGC Pharma with a regulated capability to work with psilocybin, positioning the Company within an expanding area of scientific and investor interest. The Company believes it is among a limited number of organizations in Colombia with this type of authorization.This capability allows the Company to evaluate potential applications of psilocybin, for example in neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) associated with dementia, including depression and anxiety, conditions affecting a large portion of Alzheimer's patients and representing a significant and underserved market opportunity.Potential Engine of GrowthNeuropsychiatric symptoms affect about 80% of Alzheimer's patients and broad and heterogeneous, including agitation, depression, anxiety, and mood-related conditions. While IGC Pharma's lead candidate, IGC-AD1, is advancing through a Phase 2 clinical trial targeting agitation, additional symptom domains such as depression and anxiety represent a substantial and largely unaddressed segment of the disease burden. The Company believes that differentiated mechanisms may be required across these symptom clusters, creating the potential for multiple therapeutic pathways.Strategic Positioning in a High-Growth AreaThe psilocybin authorization provides IGC Pharma with a capital-efficient platform to evaluate emerging therapeutic approaches in neuropsychiatric disorders. Compared to traditional drug development pathways, this capability allows for earlier-stage evaluation with greater flexibility and lower cost. This authorization also positions the Company within a rapidly evolving global landscape, where regulatory, scientific, and investor interest in novel neuropsychiatric therapies continues to expand. Early access to regulated development environments may provide a strategic advantage as this field matures.Complementary to CALMA Clinical ProgramThe Company continues to prioritize the advancement of its lead program, IGC-AD1, currently being evaluated in the Phase 2 CALMA clinical trial for agitation associated with Alzheimer's disease, which has recently reached approximately 80% patient enrollment and is advancing toward completion."IGC-AD1 and CALMA remains our primary near-term focus as we advance toward data readout," said Ram Mukunda, CEO of IGC Pharma. "At the same time, we are not just targeting agitation, we are building a multi-pronged approach to the $1 trillion Alzheimer's crisis. This authorization allows us to build additional assets in Alzheimer's disease using differentiated mechanisms in a capital-efficient manner."About IGC Pharma (dba IGC):IGC Pharma (NYSE American:IGC) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company leveraging AI to develop innovative treatments for Alzheimer's and metabolic disorders.

– Interim Data: Study Achieves Primary End Point Demonstrating Clinical and Statistically Significant Reductions Compared to Placebo in Agitation Associated with Dementia Due to Alzheimer’s Disease –
Potomac, MD, March 20, 2024 – IGC Pharma, Inc. (“IGC Pharma”, “IGC”, or the “Company”) (NYSE American: IGC) today announced the results of an interim analysis of its ongoing Phase 2 trial investigating IGC-AD1 as a treatment for Agitation in dementia from Alzheimer’s Disease (“AAD”).
The interim data demonstrates a clinical and statistically significant reduction in agitation compared to placebo in patients with Alzheimer’s disease, indicating strong therapeutic potential for IGC-AD1.
The study’s primary goal is to assess the change in AAD after six weeks using a standard scale, the Cohen Mansfield Agitation Inventory (“CMAI”). Based on interim data, patients taking IGC-AD1, on average, experienced a more significant reduction in agitation scores compared to those on placebo, and the positive effects were observed as early as week two of the trial.
