8k addresses the issue with Medmar, which I posted previously if anyone noticed that Medmar was removed from the presentation.
And the bigger subject is an update on the multiple myeloma trials and will be completed during Q3 and to peruse FDA orphan designation status.
PR will be released this morning.

OWC Pharmaceutical Research Announces Update on Multiple Myeloma Study
PETACH TIKVA, Israel, May 3, 2017
OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp. (OTCQB: OWCP), ("OWC" or the "Company" , an Israeli-based research company engaged in the development of cannabinoid-based therapies targeting a variety of different medical conditions and disorders, today announced that the Scientific Advisory Team of its wholly owned Israeli subsidiary, One World Cannabis Ltd. ("OWC" has determined the road map for continuing the Multiple Myeloma study.
The purpose of the next phase of the study, which is based upon the promising results of the Company's earlier in-vitro studies of its unique formula of cannabinoid-based therapies targeting cells, is to investigate the doses and diverse delivery systems, [e.g. per os/oral vs. per rectum] in order to best determine the most effective dosages and means of delivery for a future the planned study on human patients following receipt of regulatory approvals. The Company expects that the continued study will be completed during Q3 of this year.
Dr. Yehuda Baruch, the Company's Chief Science Officer and Director of Research and Regulatory Affairs of OWC stated "after in-depth and extensive review and assessment of the study's results accumulated so far, OWC's research committee determined that the medical and scientific accepted multiple myelomamice model is the best way to progress, compared to other possible known scientific paths. This unique study, which we designed to pursue and secure FDA orphan designation status, will hopefully open ways to improve the quality of life of multiple myeloma patients while at the same time may potentially enhance response to various multiple myeloma treatment regimes.
The initial OWC study was conducted at the Israeli-renowned Academic Medical Center (affiliated with Tel-Aviv University) using three repetitive tests on the effect of OWC's proprietary cannabis extract with various combination ratios of THC/CBD and pure THC and CBD (50% concentration). The results from our earlier study demonstrated more than 60% malignant cell death. In view of the basic study results, OWC has begun the development of a unique formulation that includes cannabis extracts for a new delivery system in the form of a cannabis dissoluble tablet to treat multiple myeloma. The cannabis dissoluble tablet will provide physicians with the ability to control and administrate optimal dosage. This can be treated with every multiple myeloma patient and will replace the common usage of smoking medical cannabis today which is not widely accepted by scientists and physicians as smoking, edibles and oil extracts with no meaningful or substantial dosage control.
And the bigger subject is an update on the multiple myeloma trials and will be completed during Q3 and to peruse FDA orphan designation status.
