FDA Grants Breakthrough Therapy Status to Cannabis-Derived Pain Treatment
VERTANICAL announced today that the designation was granted after two randomized, controlled Phase 3 trials found that VER-01 produced significant pain reductions, was generally well tolerated and showed no evidence of dependence. In a direct Phase 3 comparison study, the company said VER-01 also produced greater pain reduction and better gastrointestinal tolerability than opioids.
Specifically:
* It is intended for chronic low back pain.
* It is a standardized cannabis extract, not a traditional opioid like oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, tramadol, or fentanyl.
The formulation reportedly contains low-dose:
* THC,
* CBG,
* CBD,
* plus terpenes and other cannabinoids.
