Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, recently announced that it will focus on glucagon-like peptide 1 (“GLP-1”) applications of its patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology for diabetes and weight loss for the 2024 calendar year. “This comes hot on the heels of a successful, active year of R&D in 2023, a year that saw significant strides in developing its patented DehydraTECH technology including its new foray into GLP-1 drugs… This laid the groundwork for Lexaria to explore a new class of molecules it had never worked on before, ultimately quietly launching its top-priority and unpublicized early-stage work program – GLP-1 – for weight loss and diabetes control. In the words of Chris Bunka, Lexaria’s CEO, this was a ‘high-risk program,’ mainly because this class of drugs is considered ‘large molecules,’ yet all of Lexaria’s previous investigations were concentrated on ‘small molecules.’ However, by the end of November and early January 2024, the company reported positive interim and final human pilot study results using a single semaglutide dose of a Rybelsus(R) tablet to a matching dose from Rybelsus that had been compound formulated in capsule form using DehydraTECH processing technology enhancements,” a recent article reads. “Our R&D plans for 2024 are very tightly focused and will be concentrated mainly on GLP-1 investigations,” said Lexaria CEO Chris Bunka. “Given the overwhelming interest in the GLP-1 sector, this will be a main focus.”
