Post# of 420
Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX, LEXXW), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, today announced that its tolerability and pharmacokinetic study VIRAL-A20-3 has been completed with positive results. According to the update, the study demonstrated that DehydraTECH(TM)-enabled colchicine, the latest of several drugs Lexaria has successfully tested with known SARS-CoV-2 antiviral properties, benefited from the company’s proprietary formulation and processing, resulting in significantly increased delivery. The study also examined absorption with two other antiviral drugs previously untested by Lexaria; however, the bloodstream delivery findings were unremarkable and further work is required should the company decide to pursue additional testing with the two drugs. Lexaria will likely focus on DehydraTECH-processed colchicine and other antiviral drugs it has tested given the superior results already demonstrated. The company will summarize and provide guidance on the 2021 antiviral program to date and its planned next steps in an imminent press release.
