I believe the trial they're discussing that ends in April is the safety trial, the only one that is found in the FDA Clinical Trials database.
As for efficacy, it's been done with preclinical protocol's that apparently use human forms of psoriasis, but it's not tested on people. It's effective and probably mirrors what will happen with people, but it's my understanding that after safety's proven the Psoriasis Cream can be sold in Green Cross stores here in the U.S., and apparently in other countries.
I wish I could say that I'm certain the company is right about this, they probably are, but until I can see it in the Green Cross stores, I can't be certain.
That said, anyone who spends any time on the net is virtually bombarded with products intended to improve our health. Almost every one of these say they've run trials, but virtually none are FDA approved as drugs. While I don't believe our product can be marketed this way, because it contains cannabis, the point is, these products either find the shelves in stores, or they're marketed on the net, or both.
If this Psoriasis Cream didn't have cannabis in it, you could probably put it on the market today, without any form of safety trial. Once the safety trial determines it to truly be safe, subject to laws on medical marijuana, I believe we should be good to go.
To me the real question is, will it work on acne, sunburn, cuts, muscle aches, etc. We really have no idea what the cream is capable of, but I believe that if you put it into the marketplace, and have a forum where people can post results, we'll find that it may have benefits in all sorts of ways. Of course the proof will be anecdotal, but as usage builds and anecdotes increase, no telling how many things will benefit from the cream.
Of course some of the benefits could be imaginary. If I tried the cream on a cut and thought it healed faster it would be a matter of my perception. The FDA would only say it was true if hundreds of people were cut, and cream was applied to each, but some of the cream had no cannabis, then the results were studied to determine if the cannabis cream improved healing. No doubt the same would have to be done with sunburn, or anything else you might name as what's observed might still be observed if a placebo product were used, as long as you thought the placebo was giving you a benefit.
I do believe that placebo's can have an effect on outcome, but I believe that when the FDA has a huge battery of evidence on what the SOC does, all in a clinical trial should be given the trial product, and comparison be drawn against the statistical data for the SOC. Psoriasis treatments are pretty well established, I believe that all who try the cream will know that it's working as well, or better than treatment they've previously tried, at least when comparing with other topical products. In all fairness, if you compare it with products that are taken internally, and they're known to have serious side effects, the use of the topical might still be preferable, even if it wasn't quite as effective.
