Oxford Cannabinoid Technologies “officially on the way” after first dosing
–News Direct–
Oxford Cannabinoid Technologies Holdings PLC (LSE:OCTP, OTCQB:OCTHF) Clarissa Sowemimo-Coker speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive London after announcing that the company has commenced its phase I clinical trial for the lead drug candidate, OCT461201, marking the administration of the first human dose. Researchers will assess the pain relief treatment's safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile (how it interacts with the body).
Sowemimo-Coker says its "so important to have that significant milestone of finally getting that first dose into a healthy volunteer, so we can officially say we're on the way and looking forward to getting those results over time." The trial holds promise for patients suffering from chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), a condition affecting 60% of chemotherapy recipients, causing severe pain and sensitivity in extremities. Sowemimo-Coker also highlights the recent addition to the team of Dr. Farquhar Smith, who runs the only CIPN clinic in the UK at the Royal Marsden.
