Lexaria Bioscience' Tech Processed Cannabidiol Receives Positive FDA Feedback For Hypertension

Lexaria Bioscience Corp LEXX has received a positive full written response from the FDA from its pre-Investigational New Drug (Pre-IND) meeting regarding DehydraTECH-CBD for hypertension.
The FDA confirmed that it agreed with Lexaria's proposal to pursue a 505(b)(2) new drug application regulatory pathway for its program.
The pathway is advantageous because this abbreviated pathway, as it is often described, typically enables a faster route to commercial approval than the traditional 505(b)(1) pathway.

Lexaria's proposed Phase 1b clinical protocol for DehydraTECH-CBD for hypertension in 100 patients received favorably by the FDA to open the IND application to allow Lexaria to work towards full registration of DehydraTECH-CBD for hypertension.
The agency also said that additional non-clinical studies are not required before initiating the DehydraTECH-CBD IND program.
Lexaria remains on track to file its full IND application with the FDA by late 2022 / early 2023.
Price Action: LEXX shares are down 2.15% at $2.73 during the market session on the last check Wednesday.
