NetworkNewsBreaks – Lexaria Bioscience Corp.’s (NASDAQ: LEXX) Study Results Expected to Demonstrate DehydraTECH-CBD’s Effectiveness Against Hypertension
Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX, LEXXW), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, today announced that its human clinical study HYPER-H21-3 is expected to complete all dosing and sample collection this week. The study, undertaken to examine the effects of DehydraTECH-CBD upon acute pulmonary hypertension, used a blinded design with administration of a single 300mg dose of a specific DehydraTECH 2.0 CBD formulation compared to placebo in a target group of sixteen enrolled volunteers. Subject to pending analysis of samples collected from the study, blood pressure results are expected to be reported soon. Exposure to acute reductions in oxygen tension (i.e., hypoxia) causes rapid hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (“HPV”) and pulmonary arterial pressure increases as a consequence of this HPV response. If the increase in pressure becomes too high, an excess of fluid in the lungs can occur that causes difficulty with breathing. The extent to which CBD may act as a novel treatment for HPV and potentially as an alternative treatment for pulmonary hypertension is unknown. Therefore, the primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of DehydraTECH-CBD on pulmonary vascular function in normotensive individuals exposed to hypoxia. Results from HYPER-H21-3 are expected to add to Lexaria’s growing body of evidence for the effectiveness of DehydraTECH-CBD against hypertension, and findings will be submitted to regulators such as the FDA as Lexaria pursues its planned investigational new drug research program.
