Innocan Pharma Corporation announced additional positive results in a new preclinical trial involving a dog with refractory (drug- resistant) epilepsy. In this trial, the dog was treated with Innocan Pharma's LPT (CBD Loaded Liposome Platform) injections. The dog in the study is a 4-year-old intact male border collie dog with a body weight of 22 kg, suffering from refractory idiopathic (drug-resistant) epilepsy.

The dog was treated with three anti-epileptic drugs but was still suffering from seizures several times a month and was hospitalized approximately once a month in order to stop epileptic clusters (frequent seizure events, i.e., every couple of hours) by using intravenous medications. The dog was treated with several injections of Innocan Pharma's LPT (CBD Loaded Liposome Platform) with a 4-week interval between injections. During the several months of the trial, the dog did not require hospitalization.

Additionally, since the last LPT injection, the dog did not experience a seizure for a duration of 9.5 weeks. Epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder characterized by sudden and recurrent episodes of seizures. It is one of the most common neurological disorders worldwide, affecting people of all ages.

Presently, around 50 million patients are living with epilepsy worldwide and about 2.4 million new cases are diagnosed annually.
