Avecho Secures A$1.98m R&D Tax Refund to Advance CBD Insomnia Program

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Avecho Biotechnology Limited ( (AU:AVE) ) has provided an update.

Avecho Biotechnology has received A$1.98 million under the Australian Government’s R&D Tax Incentive Scheme for the year ended 31 December 2025, underscoring its ongoing investment in differentiated cannabinoid formulations aimed at pharmaceutical registration. The company will use most of the funds to repay A$1.62 million advanced by Endpoint Capital against its tax credit, while the balance will support operations and help progress commercialisation of its CBD TPM soft-gel capsule, a Phase III-stage candidate in a sizeable insomnia and sleep-aids market where Avecho is positioning to be an early over-the-counter CBD entrant in Australia.

The payment strengthens Avecho’s near-term funding for its pivotal, multi-centre Phase III trial in adults with insomnia, a condition that affects a significant portion of the global and Australian populations and has been recognised domestically as a national health priority. Success in this trial could enable a regulatory submission for over-the-counter pharmacy sales of its CBD product in Australia, potentially giving Avecho first-mover advantage in a market that has been projected to reach more than US$125 million annually for OTC CBD products, thereby enhancing its competitive standing and value proposition to investors and partners.
