Tetra Bio-Pharma’s Evidence-Based Business Model Confirmed
Momentum Public Relations
Press Release: June 29 2018
Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc.(TBP:V), a leader in cannabinoid-based drug discovery and development, today announced that the amendment of the Prescription Drug List (PDL) to include phyto-cannabinoids supports its evidence-based business model. Since early 2016 Tetra’s product development and commercialization strategy followed the exact same pathway as that used in the development of prescription drugs, namely rigorous, independently validated scientific evidence. As a biopharmaceutical company, Tetra’s orientation is to bring cannabis and cannabinoid-based products to market that meet the regulatory quality, safety and efficacy requirements for prescription medications.
Health Canada recently issued a Notice of Intent to Amend the PDL to add phytocannabinoids produced by, or found in, the cannabis plant and substances that are duplicates of such phytocannabinoids. In 2017, Tetra completed a major safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study in healthy human subjects that allowed Tetra to collect significant data to support its marketing applications. A similar clinical development program was launched with cannabis oils in preparation for the upcoming post-legalization market. The combination of safety, pharmacokinetic and efficacy data allows Tetra to bring products to market under the proposed new regulatory framework. Tetra Bio-Pharma is one of a few cannabinoid based companies that is committed to providing much needed clinical data for both its pharmaceutical and natural health products.
Over the coming months Tetra Bio-Pharma will deliver its findings in a series of presentations and scientific articles that will be published in 2018 to share the clinical data of both the inhalation and oral clinical development programs with the medical community, beginning with the July 4, 2018 International Cannabinoid Research Society Meeting in the Netherlands where Dr. Maria-Fernanda Arboleda, MD, will present the results of the above clinical trial. http://www.icrs.co/
