DehydraTECH-CBD For Hypertension
The overall 2021
Study design for the Company’s planned animal studies HYPER-A21-1 and HYPER-A21-2 has been completed, and delivery of the formulations to be tested to the third-party laboratories in good condition has been confirmed. Dosing remains on schedule, and is expected to begin in late February or early March.
HYPER-H21-1 as previously announced, and the new additions, HYPER-H21-2 and HYPER-H21-3, are each randomized, double-blinded human clinical studies to take place in
HYPER-H21-2 has been added to the
HYPER-H21-3 is also a double-blinded, placebo controlled, randomized human clinical study that has been added to Lexaria’s hypertension program to complement the data set the Company intends to build. This study is designed to monitor effectiveness of a 300 mg dose of DehydraTECH-CBD relative to placebo on blood pressure in volunteers under conditions of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. Data from this study may demonstrate utility of DehydraTECH-CBD for blood pressure reduction in circumstances where pulmonary edema/hypertension results as occurs, for instance, when people travel to high altitude regions of the world. Study design for HYPER-H21-3 is complete and university hospital and ethics board applications are under development and should be submitted shortly. Once approvals are received the Company will be able to provide details on timing of executing this study.
The five studies in Lexaria’s 2021 hypertension program are expected to generate data required to further support the validity of using DehydraTECH-processed CBD as a potential hypertension treatment across various applications.

About
Lexaria Bioscience Corp.’s proprietary drug delivery technology, DehydraTECH™, improves the way active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) enter the bloodstream by promoting healthier oral ingestion methods and increasing the effectiveness of fat-soluble active molecules, thereby lowering overall dosing. The Company’s technology can be applied to many different ingestible product formats, including foods, beverages, oral suspensions, tablets, and capsules. DehydraTECH has repeatedly demonstrated since 2016 with cannabinoids and nicotine theability to increase bio-absorption by up to 5-10x, reduce time of onset from 1 - 2 hours to minutes, and mask unwanted tastes; and is planned to be further evaluated for orally administered bioactive molecules, including anti-virals, cannabinoids, vitamins, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and nicotine.
