180 Life Sciences (NASDAQ: ATNF), a clinical-stage biotechnology company, is reporting on its clinical pharmacology study designed to evaluate the uptake of cannabidiol (“CBD”) in a solid formulation that can be delivered as a pill. According to the report, the clinical trial, which was performed with Professor Avi Domb of the Hebrew University, School of Pharmacy, and Professor Elyad Davidson of Hadassah Hospital, involved 12 human participants and compared two solid formulations of CBD with Epidiolex, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)-approved drug for epilepsy. The company noted that CBD has shown promise in studies on treatment of pain, post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”), head trauma and other indications. However, the oral liquid delivery is not ideal, and the formulations tested by 180 Life Sciences and its collaborators in this study show potential for CBD being delivered by mouth in capsule or pill form. The company is waiting for full results from the study. “If shown via further clinical testing, 180 Life Sciences’ proprietary solid formulation for the delivery of CBD may provide medical professionals with greatly expanded options to prescribe and deliver CBD in a precisely dosed, high-uptake pill format rather than the current liquid format,” said Professor Avi Domb in the press release. “This may have potentially significant commercial market potential by avoiding the complexity associated with unpredictable liquid formulation delivery. Both physicians and patients may have broader acceptance of a solid oral pill format.”
