- Provisional patent application protects unique process yielding pharmaceutical grade, bio-identical cannabinoids
- Proprietary research allows production of synthetic cannabinoids for therapeutic use with certain diseases
- Early stage clinical trials are expected to begin in 2018 for a drug targeting a rare children’s skin disorder
Imagine having a painful disease that causes your skin to blister at the slightest minor injury. Even just scratching an itch or accidentally rubbing against a rough object could cause peeling blisters and acute suffering. Epidermolysis bullosa, a genetic connective tissue disorder that affects roughly one out of every 20,000 births in the United States, currently has no approved treatments, according to the Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Research Association of America. Researchers at InMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (CSE: IN) (OTCQB: IMLFF), however, hope to treat this unmet medical need with a topical drug called INM-750 that includes multiple biosynthesized cannabinoids as its active ingredients.
Vancouver, Canada-based InMed Pharmaceuticals is a preclinical biotech company that specializes in developing novel drug therapies by manufacturing cannabinoids with the potential to have a therapeutic effect on specific diseases.
