MGC Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

15 March 2023

ASX, LSE: MXC

MGC Pharmaceuticals Ltd ('MGC Pharma' or 'the Company') a European based pharmaceutical company specialising in the production and development of plant inspired medicines, has enrolled the first patient in the Company's proprietary data collection App and machine learning algorithm, ZAM, and will log the data from the commencement of an observational study monitoring the effects of MGC Pharma's epilepsy treatment, CannEpil®.

The app will record daily metrics from patients, their symptoms, and the impact of their treatment in order to establish a baseline. This will provide both medical practitioners and MGC Pharma with a detailed record of the study and an enhanced understanding of the effect of CannEpil® on Refractory Epilepsy patients.

The App will not only provide the patients with reminders on how and when to take medication (per their medical practitioners' advice), but will also measure treatment progress, and have the ability for a qualified doctor to prescribe alternative medication following a consultation.

The trial is supported by the "I am Billy" Foundation, a charity set up to aid parents and families in navigating the challenges of obtaining NHS-funded Medical Cannabis for children.

Roby Zomer, co-founder and Managing Director of MGC Pharmaceuticals, commented: "The enrolment of the first patient in the ZAM App in the UK, enables us to fully record the impact and efficacy of our products undergoing trials. Consolidation of data is of paramount importance in ensuring the safety and efficiency of MGC's proprietary products, and we see the integration of both pharma and tech as a revolution in the clinical trial process.

"We are proud to be supporting the "I am Billy" foundation in this endeavour, and are pleased to be recognised as a leading company in the sector."
