Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX, LEXXW), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, today announced the pending start of its upcoming human nicotine study NIC-H22-1. Through the study, Lexaria expects to evidence that processing purified nicotine with its patented drug delivery technology, DehydraTECH(TM), leads to enhanced oral-tissue absorption and reduced negative experiences. NIC-H22-1, a minimum 36-person human pharmacokinetic (“PK”) randomized, double blinded, cross-over study, will compare Lexaria’s DehydraTECH-nicotine pouch performance to that of existing leading brands currently sold in the U.S. such as ON! and Zyn. The primary objective of the study is data collection from blood samples that will evidence Tmax, Cmax and AUC. Secondary objectives include extensive subjective evaluations related to throat burn, user experience and more. Nicotine test article ingredient manufacturing and DehydraTECH processing have been completed, and the third-party pouch manufacturing company has received those processed materials for filling and packaging. Independent Review Board approval and subsequent human dosing will be the next two major steps in the study.
