CannabisNewsBreaks – Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) Begins IND-Enabling Program for DehydraTECH-CBD for Hypertension

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX, LEXXW), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, today announced it is formally beginning the process towards an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application filing with the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The IND filing is for Lexaria’s DehydraTECH-processed cannabidiol (“DehydraTECH-CBD”) as a prospective registered pharmaceutical treatment for hypertension. The company has retained the services of an expert regulatory affairs and quality assurance consultancy group to assist in preparing Lexaria for a pre-IND meeting with the FDA, as well as with designing the necessary non-clinical, clinical and related product development IND-enabling work to be completed in advance of the IND filing. The new IND-enabling program is made possible through successfully completed studies that have shown that DehydraTECH-CBD demonstrates superior bioabsorption upon oral administration and is effective at reducing blood pressure with no significant unwanted side effects.

About Lexaria Bioscience Corp.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp.’s patented drug delivery technology, DehydraTECH(TM) improves the way active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”) enter the bloodstream by promoting more effective oral delivery. Since 2016, DehydraTECH has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to increase bio-absorption with cannabinoids and nicotine by 5-10x and, in some instances with cannabinoids by as much as 27x compared to standard industry formulations, reduce time of onset from 1 – 2 hours to minutes, and mask unwanted tastes; and is also being evaluated for orally administered anti-viral drugs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (“NSAIDs”) and more. DehydraTECH has also evidenced an ability to deliver some drugs more effectively across the blood brain barrier. Lexaria operates a licensed in-house research laboratory and holds a robust intellectual property portfolio with 21 patents granted in nations with a combined population of 2.6 billion, and over 50 additional patents pending worldwide.
