Cannabis Science Releases Clinical Drug-Development Pipeline as it Transitions Into Clinical Trials; Right on Time for the Upcoming Global Health Catalyst Summit at Harvard Medical School, May 24-26, 2019
IRVINE, CA, May 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Cannabis Science, Inc. (OTC: CBIS), a U.S. company specializing in the development of cannabinoid-based medicines, hits an inflection point that translates into an unprecedented progression to clinical trials. With this change of atmosphere, the company is proud to release its 2019 Clinical Drug Development Pipeline and categorized industry sector inventory lists. Significant success targeting several high-profile critical ailments with clinical drug development translations and more announcements at the upcoming Global Health Catalyst (GHC) Summit at Harvard Medical School. The Summit is scheduled for May 24-26, 2019 in Boston, MA.
Cannabis Science has invested significantly in its pre-clinical research programs and has observed promising results for the use of cannabinoids to treat a number of targeted indications through its multiple State by State product releases and over the counter market test product releases. The Company and its collaborators have investigated varying doses of cannabinoids, and rigorously evaluated treatment outcomes, efficacy, and toxicity to generate data that will translate into clinical trials. “While our research program continues, we believe we have products that are ready for clinical trials this year,” stated Mr. Raymond C. Dabney, CBIS’ President, CEO, and Co-founder. “We are currently forming our clinical-trials team, to include our Principal Investigators and other relevant personnel in Canada and the United States.”

The Company produces cannabinoid-based product lines for three industry sectors:
1. Federal Regulatory, prescription-based;
2. State Regulatory, state by state;
3. Over-the-counter, non-prescription.
CBIS and its research collaborators are currently conducting pre-clinical research on cannabinoid-based medicines to treat Lung Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer, Chronic Prostatitis, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Oro-bucco-lingual Dyskinesias, Oxidative Stress, Psychosis, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and other indications.
“Of the clinical prescription drugs that we are developing right now, we believe the first ones to be ready for clinical trials will be those with the potential to treat various cancers,” added Mr. Dabney.
CBIS and its collaborators have published two peer-reviewed research papers in the cancer research journal, Frontiers in Oncology; both articles rose to the top 98% impact rating of all Frontiers Articles:

“This is truly an exciting time for CBIS. With our research collaborators, we have potential products under development that could help millions of people worldwide. The question now becomes how many of our clinical translations could ultimately become a blockbuster drug? At this stage, we have to continue to aggressively invest in our research and hopefully prove the effectiveness of our products via clinical trials. Step-by-step, we continue to move forward,” concludes Mr. Dabney.
