NetworkNewsBreaks – Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) Announces Approval from Independent Review Board for DehydraTECH-CBD Human Clinical Study
Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug-delivery platforms, has received Independent Review Board (“IRB”) approval for its planned DehydraTECH-CBD human hypertension study HYPER-H21-4; the approval was received earlier than anticipated. The study is designed to “de-risk” outcomes prior to the company’s planned entry into regulatory pathways for the use of DehydraTECH-CBD to treat hypertension and perhaps other forms of cardiovascular disease. The six-week study, which is entirely funded through the existing cash resources, is planned to include 60 volunteers, aged 45 to 70, using three 150 mg doses of DehydraTECH-CBD daily for the duration of the study. Dosing is anticipated to begin by April of next year. The study will incorporate a double-blinded, randomized, cross-over design, with a placebo control. The length of the study allows the company to evaluate the impact of DehydraTECH-CBD over time as well as the potential for longer-term health benefits. This study is the most comprehensive undertaken by Lexaria. “The hypertension market is valued at $28 billion per year and is expected to continue growing as one of the world’s top health problems and as a subset of the larger heart disease market,” the company stated in the press release. “Over 1.1 billion people worldwide suffer from hypertension. Fewer than 1 person in 4 with hypertension have successfully controlled their blood pressure through medications, meaning the potential market for hypertension drugs is much larger than $28 billion per year if an affordable drug was available with few or no side effects. Lexaria believes that its DehydraTECH-CBD may introduce a more tolerable anti-hypertensive treatment option that may be used alone or in combination with other medications, to reduce BP with fewer discouraging and unwanted side effects.”
