Innocan’s focus on the global pain management market, which is poised for significant growth, is expected to benefit immensely from Dr. Pergolizzi’s expertise. His role will primarily revolve around promoting pharmaceutical human product R&D and the company’s FDA processes.
For context, Innocan has been making waves in the pharmaceutical tech domain. Their work in the Pharmaceuticals segment is particularly noteworthy, with a focus on developing innovative drug delivery platform technologies integrated with cannabinoid science. Their research aims to improve patients’ quality of life, especially those suffering from conditions like epilepsy and pain.
Recently, Innocan revealed a clinical study demonstrating the efficacy of their liposomal CBD in reducing osteoarthritis pain in dogs. Published in the Frontiers in Veterinary Science Journal, the research showed that a single injection led to prolonged pain relief and increased activity in affected dogs. This breakthrough suggests that Innocan’s liposomal CBD could be a game-changer in pain management for dogs with osteoarthritis, and beyond.
With these advancements and the addition of Dr. Pergolizzi to their advisory board, Innocan Pharma is undoubtedly positioning itself as a frontrunner in the pharmaceutical tech domain. As they inch closer to FDA approvals, the healthcare industry will be keenly watching their next moves.
