Lexaria Bioscience to conduct human clinical study of DehydraTECH-CBD

Lexaria Bioscience reports its intention to conduct a human clinical study to examine DehydraTECH-CBD for purposes of diabetes control and weight loss. On March 2, 2023 and June 16, 2023 Lexaria announced that in pre-clinical diabetes study DIAB-A22-1 in obese diabetic-conditioned animals, DehydraTECH-CBD achieved each of the following: Lowered blood glucose levels by 19.9%; Lowered overall body weight by 7% sustained over 8 weeks; Witnessed a statistically significant increase in locomotor activity; Lowered triglyceride levels by more than 25%; Lowered blood urea nitrogen levels by 27.9%. As a result of the very successful pre-clinical results, management of Lexaria has determined it is planning to undertake a human diabetes clinical study to investigate whether any of these improvements are also evidenced in humans. Study design is currently underway by Lexaria, which will be followed by submission to an independent review board to gain necessary approvals. Lexaria intends to conduct the study at the same medical research hospital in Europe that it has utilized for its recent human clinical hypertension studies, subject to a number of conditions. This cost-effective approach allows Lexaria to complete the most research possible at a fraction of the cost of US-based registered study programs. Additional information including timelines and study details will be released when available.
