TEL AVIV, Israel and BETHESDA, Maryland, April 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Cannabics Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTCQB: CNBX), a leader in personalized cannabinoid medicine focused on cancer and its side effects, today announced that it has obtained approval for a nationwide Israeli multisite clinical study on the antitumor properties of cannabinoid compounds on primary cancer biopsies. The apoptotic/cytotoxic effects of a multitude of cannabinoid extracts will be evaluated via Cannabics’ high throughput screening platform.
Dr. Eyal Ballan, CTO and Co-Founder of Cannabics, said: “We believe this is a quantum leap for the research on the biology of cancer and cannabinoids. The screening of the antitumor properties of cannabinoids on cancer cell lines produces data on groups of patients, while the primary biopsy samples provide us insights on the individual level and may better predict the clinical outcome and improve our preclinical development of proprietary antitumor compounds.”
