Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that causes red, scaly patches to appear on the skin, and can be associated with other serious health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease and depression. Skin cells in patients with psoriasis grow at an abnormally fast rate, causing a buildup of lesions that tend to burn and itch. While the real cause of psoriasis is not known, genetics are believed to play a major role in its development. According to the National Psoriasis Foundation, psoriasis affects 7.5 million people in the United States.
A wide and in-depth multi-layer clinical study on Psoriasis and psychological aspects is targeted to start next year, 2018, after collection of data from patients to carefully plan the targets of such a unique study that will show a combination of cannabinoids treatments for a specific disease. The study is carefully managed by Dr. Yehuda Baruch, the Company's CSO & Director of Research and Regulatory Affairs.
