Trichomylin® Softgel Capsules Phase 2 Clinical Trial

Trichomylin® softgel capsules have been formulated with a proprietary fixed-dose combination, specifically designed for the management of chronic pain by delivering a balanced ratio of three cannabinoids – cannabichromene (“CBC”), cannabidiol (“CBD”) and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”). ZYUS’ previously announced Phase 2 Clinical Trial will assess the preliminary efficacy, safety and tolerability of Trichomylin® softgel capsules in patients with advanced cancer and moderate to severe cancer-related pain.

“Receiving this patent for the treatment of pain using our non-opioid-based formulation validates our ongoing commitment to innovation and investment in research, marking a pivotal step towards the development of this urgently needed medicine. To our knowledge, this is the first time a U.S. patent has been awarded for a cannabinoid-based fixed-dosed formulation containing CBC, CBD and THC,” said Brent Zettl, President and CEO of ZYUS. “Our clinical development program for the Trichomylin® formulation is well-positioned for success given both the new patent issuance and recently announced Phase 2 Clinical Trial, which aims to demonstrate preliminary efficacy, safety and tolerability of this novel drug candidate. We intend to use the data from our extensive pre-clinical and non-clinical studies, completed Phase 1 Clinical Trial and proposed Phase 2 Clinical Trial to form the basis of an Investigational New Drug application with the U.S. FDA.”
