Post# of 420
Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX, LEXXW), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, today announced that the first phase of its epilepsy research program EPIL-A21-1 is beginning this week. According to the update, the DehydraTECH(TM)-CBD test articles needed to commence dosing have already been manufactured and delivered to the third-party laboratory engaged to complete this research program. EPIL-A21-1 will assess the seizure inhibiting activity of DehydraTECH-CBD compared to the world’s only FDA-approved CBD-based seizure medication, Epidiolex(R). Lexaria hopes to demonstrate superior performance based on DehydraTECH’s known advanced drug delivery capabilities. Lexaria’s seizure program expects to leverage the significant gains in systemic delivery and brain uptake evidenced and announced from other studies comparing DehydraTECH 2.0 CBD formulations with concentration-matched controls, which the company believes has potential to improve therapeutic efficacy for a range of disease conditions affecting the central nervous system including epilepsy.
