World-Changing Drugs from a World-Changing Pioneer

To save the life of a five-year-old girl, Dr. Alan Shackelford faced a career defining moment. She was suffering from life-threatening epilepsy. No treatments were working. So this Harvard-trained physician & researcher prescribed a treatment few ever considered. It worked. Today, Dr. Shackelford is a pillar of the medical community with a one-of-a-kind database that is now revealing other possible treatments for a dozen or more additional diseases.

“This is just the beginning.”

— Dr. Alan Shackelford, MD

This is only the beginning. My database has revealed possible treatments for over 17 conditions with high unmet needs. ”

— Dr. Alan Shackelford, MD

“Our team has collectively brought 43 FDA-approved drugs to the world. We believe this will be the next one. No other pharma company has a database like ours.”

— Dr. Alan Shackelford, MD

Dr. Alan Shackelford "stunned the medical community"

Doing the Right Thing: Why Dr. Shackelford Became A Research Pioneer

Dr. Shackelford  suspected certain cannabinoids could help patients who had lost hope. But pioneering this breakthrough treatment  in this young girl had never been done.  Colorado’s medical regulators were watching carefully. Not only did that treatment work, it led to something extraordinary…— the creation of a movement to bring a new category of drugs to help the world.

How Dr. Shackelford “Stunned the Medical Community”

Dr. Shackelford was not only vindicated, he’s still changing how the medical community thinks about cannabinoids. He now sits on the very same Colorado Medical Review Board that once questioned him. He is frequently invited to national and state legislatures to talk about the potential of cannabinoids in medicine. His dream is now alive inside Shackelford Pharma, where a world-class team is advancing his work to develop new drugs he hopes will help millions of people.

The Database Big Pharma Wished They Had

Treatments Backed by 25,000 Patient Interactions

A typical pharmaceutical company has limited, if any, patient data supporting their drug candidates before FDA trials.

Why the Best Minds in the Industry Are Joining Shackelford Pharma

When pharma companies develop new medicines, they usually rely on theory, anecdotal evidence, computer modeling or petri dish experiments before finding anything with a slim chance of going into human trials. Our database of real-world patient data gives us actual evidence of which formulations have worked with patients.  It’s unheard of in the industry.

DATA

133 patient

Most pharma companies don’t know how their drug will work on humans until FDA trials. We have 133 patient treatment years of data showing Dr. Shackelford’s formulation has worked  in those real-life interactions

results

96%

96% of Dr. Shackelford’s patients were seizure-free for at least one year

track record

Our R&D  team has shepherded a combined 43 drugs through the FDA process 

Our Team Helped Make 43 FDA-Approved Drugs

We aim for our epilepsy treatment to be the 44th. This is a team that knows how to get drugs through the FDA-approval process and generate revenue. 

  • R&D team that collectively has over 320 years of drug development experience
  • 43 FDA-approved drugs to date, including 6 anti-epileptic drugs
  • 7 drugs, each with peak annual revenue over $1B USD

Our team has collectively developed 43 FDA-approved drugs worth billions in revenue and treated tens of millions of patients.

“Our team has collectively brought 43 FDA-approved drugs to the world. We believe this could be the next one. The database derived from Dr. Shackelford’s real-world treatment of patients is a unique, unprecedented tool that is driving our portfolio strategy and reducing many risks commonly encountered in drug development.”

Dr. Susan Learned, Head of R&D

We’re Taking Our First Drug Candidate to Human Trials

We’ve leveraged Dr. Shackelford’s database to find our first drug opportunity. This treatment could help 1.3 million people with epilepsy who haven’t found a treatment that works. This is a $3-billion market alone. Next we will use our database to develop a dozen more potential drug candidates we have identified. It’s only the beginning, as Dr. Shackelford says.

Investors Benefit When FDA Milestones Are Met

Investors who’ve helped pharma companies get through FDA trials are often rewarded with higher valuations.

Investors in biotech companies that successfully proceed through FDA trials are often rewarded with higher valuations after each milestone. The median valuation for central nervous system companies with a drug in Phase 2 trials is 437% higher than Shackelford Pharma’s current valuation. We expect to achieve significant milestones in the near future.

Why Should I Invest?

After his epilepsy breakthrough — recognized around the world — Dr. Shackelford kept treating patients with cannabinoids. He documented every treatment, condition, dose, and response. He has created a database of over 25,000 real-life patient interactions that has helped us identify many more potential drug candidates. It’s simply unrivaled in the pharmaceutical industry.

Specifically, our drug candidate is highly de-risked due to the fact that it is backed by  356 patient treatment years of data. This data showed an approximate 9 fold increase in 1 year seizure remission rates compared to what was expected. 

Our team is world-class with collectively over 320 years of drug development experience, developed over 43 FDA approved drugs - 6 of which are for epilepsy, and 7 are considered blockbusters (over $1B/year in revenue). 

The company is at an important point in its development as there may be important value inflection points on the horizon as it moves into FDA IND submission, phase 2 trial, and beyond.  

What are the tax implications of an equity crowdfunding investment?
We cannot give tax advice, and we encourage you to talk with your accountant or tax advisor before making an investment.
Are There More Opportunities Ahead?
This is a $3-billion market alone. Next we will use our database to develop a dozen more potential drug candidates we have identified. It’s only the beginning, as Dr. Shackelford says.
Why Didn't A Bigger Company Do This Already?

Bigger companies rely on smaller pharmaceutical and biotech companies, like Shackelford Pharma, to make breakthrough innovations that the larger company invests in, partners with, or buys out the smaller company. In our case, we have discovered a certain formulation that showed a 9 fold increase in remission rates vs what is typically expected in epilepsy medicines. 

When pharma companies develop new medicines, they usually rely on theory, anecdotal evidence, computer modeling or petri dish experiments before finding anything with a slim chance of going into human trials. Our database of real-world patient data gives us actual evidence of which formulations have worked with patients. This is unique in the industry and makes us extremely unique and de-risked. In fact, it’s unheard of in the industry.

How do I get a return on my investment?
Since we are still in the funding round there is currently no market for liquidity for the shares sold. You should plan to hold your investment for a significant period before a liquidation event occurs.
What does your path to profitability look like?
Our team has collectively brought 43 FDA-approved drugs to the world. We believe this could be the next one. The database derived from Dr. Shackelford’s real-world treatment of patients is a unique, unprecedented tool that is driving our portfolio strategy and reducing many risks commonly encountered in drug development.
