Innocan Pharma Announces Patent Application for Novel Cannabis-Based Psoriasis Treatment

Calgary, Alberta/ Tel Aviv, Israel, (May 28, 2020) - Innocan Pharma Corporation (CSE:INNO) (FSE:IP4) (the “Company” or “Innocan”), is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Innocan Pharma Ltd. (“Innocan Israel”), filed an international patent application for a novel cannabis-based psoriasis treatment. This patent application makes claim of a topical pharmaceutical composition used to treat the symptoms of itching and inflammation associated with psoriasis.

 

"The global psoriasis drugs market is forecast to reach USD 39.00 Billion by 2027. The psoriasis drugs market held a market share of USD 16.21 Billion in the year 2018 that is forecasted to grow at a rate of 9.6% during the forecast period" according to a recent report issued on January 22, 2020, by Reports and Data, a market intelligence and strategic consulting firm. Psoriasis can be defined as a skin condition which accelerates the life cycle of skin cells. It is usually considered to be a chronic condition. The symptoms of psoriasis are stinging, itching, and pain.

 

Innocan believes that it’s expanding intellectual property portfolio of cannabis-based products to be a source of both potential breakthroughs in pain therapy and for further opportunities across a broad spectrum of inflammatory indications with currently unmet medical needs.

 

Iris Bincovich, CEO said: “This is another demonstration that Innocan’s science-based approach quickly leads to actionable intellectual property.  Innocan’s R&D is consistently developing new solutions for the well-being of patients by establishing an unrivaled line of medical products through the integration of CBD, based on Innocan’s exclusive intellectual property.”

Innocan and Ramot at Tel Aviv University are collaborating on the development of a new exosome-based technology that targets both central nervous system indications and the COVID-19 Coronavirus.

The Company, together with Prof. Berenholtz, Head of the Laboratory of Membrane and Liposome Research of the Hebrew University, plans to test the liposome platform on several potential indications. The Company is also working on a dermal product integrating CBD with other pharmaceutical ingredients as well as the development and sale of CBD-integrated pharmaceuticals, including, but not limited to, topical treatments for relief of psoriasis symptoms as well as the treatment of muscle pain and rheumatic pain.
