Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. ("
Tetra" or the "
Company") (TSX:TBP)(OTCQB:TBPMF)(FRA:JAM1), a leader in cannabinoid-derived drug discovery and development announced today that it has submitted a request to the Malta Medicines Authority for a Scientific Opinion on its investigational new drug (IND) QIXLEEF for Tetra's clinical trial programs. This request includes guidance on the REBORN2 trial to be performed in Europe. QIXLEEF is a botanical drug product with a "fixed ratio" of THC and CBD and is inhaled through a vaporizer.
"Based on the speed of onset of the pharmacodynamic effects of QIXLEEF, Tetra has positioned this inhaled IND as a potential therapy for the rapid relief of severe acute pain, such as breakthrough pain. Patients require fast relief when suffering from excruciating pain and we believe that the fast onset of QIXLEEF might be a viable alternative to opioids. We are seeking guidance from the Malta Medicines Authority on Tetra's clinical development program of REBORN2 as we plan for global commercialization of QIXLEEF," said Guy Chamberland, CEO and CRO of Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc.
