Item 8.01 (Other Events). 

 

Dermata Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) recently received a shipment of Spongilla raw material from its exclusive supplier which the Company believes provides sufficient quantities to manufacture enough DMT310 drug product to support the Company’s Phase 3 program in moderate-to-severe acne, a Phase 2 trial in mild-to-moderate psoriasis, and the Company’s nonclinical programs for its DMT310 and DMT410 product candidates. The Company also believes the recent shipment of raw material will be sufficient to complete the manufacturing of registration batches to support the filing of a new drug application for DMT310 for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acne upon the successful completion of the Phase 3 program for that indication.
