“The recently awarded grant from NIDA further enables our efforts to provide a rapid and clinically impactful emergency treatment for acute cannabis-induced toxicities, including cannabis-induced Central Nervous System depression in children,” commented Richie Cunningham, CEO. “We believe this important grant from NIDA recognizes the progress we have already made with the successful Phase 2 proof of concept study of oral selonabant and provides further momentum for advancing the intravenous formulation towards clinical testing. We also believe this awarded grant further validates the significant and growing unmet medical need for an emergency antidote to cannabis toxicity. In particular, acute cannabis exposure in children is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that can result in CNS depression, respiratory depression, coma, and in rare cases death. Research has shown that children are much more sensitive to the toxic effects of cannabis, due in part to age-related differences in the abundance of cannabis receptors in their brains. As a direct consequence, pediatric cannabis ingestion can result in much more serious outcomes than in adults, and a much greater risk of hospitalization and admission to intensive care. If approved, we believe selonabant has the potential to offer a much-needed targeted therapy for rapidly reversing the serious and life-threatening consequences of accidental cannabis ingestion in children.”
