BURLINGTON, Ontario – May 29, 2024 – Rapid Dose Therapeutics Corp. (“RDT” or the “Company”) (CSE: DOSE) announces its collaboration in the National Football League (NFL) – funded clinical trial program entitled “Naturally Produced Cannabinoids for Pain Management and Neuroprotection from Concussion and Participation in Contact Sports” led by Dr. J. Patrick Neary and researchers at the University of Regina.
RDT will partake in a randomized, two-arm clinical study, which is part of a larger clinical program designed by an expert team of cerebrovascular and neuro-physiologists, clinical psychologists, pharmacokineticists, and physicians from the Universities of Regina, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia.
The primary research objective of the study is to determine the relative oral bioavailability and other pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of the non-psychoactive cannabidiol (CBD) and its metabolites, when administered to a healthy young adult population as RDT’s sublingual QuickStrip™ product, versus a standard oral formulation.
The data generated from this study will demonstrate the efficacy of the QuickStrip™ product and serve as the basis for including RDT’s QuickStrip™ in the subsequent clinical studies as part of the overall clinical program funded by the NFL.
“This study has the potential to change not only the lives of current and former NFL players, but also the lives of anyone who may suffer from a concussion,” said Dr. Patrick Neary, exercise physiologist and professor in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies at the University of Regina.
