NEW YORK, Jan. 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AXIM® Biotechnologies, Inc. (AXIM® Biotech) (OTC:AXIM), a world leader in cannabinoid research and development, received positive pharmacokinetic (PK) data results on its CanChew Plus® CBD Gum, and gears up for clinical trial on alleviating the symptom of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
The single dose study on 10 mg of cannabidiol (CBD) and 30 mg of CBD determined the concentration of CBD in the blood after chewing one CanChew Plus® Gum for thirty minutes in healthy volunteers. The 30 mg dosage showed excellent results and this data will be used to determine the optimal concentration in the IBS patient trial.
“These results show that excellent bioavailability for CBD may be achieved via our proprietary chewing gum delivery system, so that patients suffering from IBS may have symptomatic relief using an easy-to-use solution,” said George E. Anastassov, MD, DDS, MBA and Chief Executive Officer of AXIM® Biotech. “We believe that we can match or improve the bioavailability profile for CBD compared to other delivery systems such as smoking or oral intake. We look forward to entering clinical trial and making available our cannabis-based medicinal solutions to patients suffering from IBS and other gastrointestinal disorders as soon as possible.”
“This data will be essential as we look to enter into a clinical trial to prove the efficacy of CBD for treatment for IBS. We saw through the study that the 30mg dosage of CBD rendered the most favorable results and will use this data to decide the most optimal dosage for patients in the clinical trial.” Anastassov added.
