NetworkNewsBreaks – Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) Reports Successful Results of Human Clinical Hypertension Study
Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug-delivery platforms, has announced that its human clinical study, HYPER-H21-4, may be the first-ever study to indicate a sustained drop in blood pressure (“BP”) in normally active hypertensive patients following multiple weeks of oral cannabidiol (“CBD”) therapy. The study is evaluating Lexaria’s patented DehydraTECH(TM)-CBD capsule formulation. LEXX reported that study results showed exceptional safety and tolerability and statistically significant lowering of 24-hour ambulatory BP as well as BP lowered for the duration of the entire five-week study. The study also indicated lowered BP for patients currently taking other antihypertensive drugs as well as patients not taking any other antihypertensive drugs. According to the announcement, Lexaria is aware of only a few other published stories designed to evaluate whether a sustained decrease in resting BP is possible following multiple weeks of oral CBD dosing, with none of those studies showing successful results. “That we were able to lower blood pressure in our patient population over multiple weeks using DehydraTECH-CBD is an exceptional discovery, given that previous studies by others using other oral CBD formulations have failed to evidence this sustained benefit,” said Lexaria Bioscience Corp. CEO Chris Bunka in the press release. “DehydraTECH also demonstrated excellent safety and tolerability results and no adverse changes in liver enzymes throughout the study. Indeed, of the handful of minor, nonserious adverse events reported, there were nearly as many reported by those patients receiving placebo as those who received DehydraTECH-CBD. Consistent with Lexaria’s often-mentioned, de-risking strategy, this exceptional safety profile should prove beneficial as we prepare for our planned upcoming phase Ib Investigational New Drug clinical study to be registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.”
