India Globalization Capital, Inc. announced it has received a no objection letter from Health Canada for approval of its trial, “A Phase 2, Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial of the Safety and Efficacy of IGC-AD1 on Agitation in Participants with Dementia due to Alzheimer's Disease.” The no objection letter provides the acknowledgement of IGC-AD1's drug candidacy and the authority to proceed with Phase 2 trials in Canada. IGC-AD1 relies on low doses of THC, a psychoactive cannabinoid, and another compound as active agents in trials for Alzheimer's. The formulation recently commenced Phase 2 of clinical trials required by the FDA and demonstrated in Alzheimer's cell lines the potential to be effective in suppressing or ameliorating a key protein that is responsible for Aß plaques – a key hallmark of the disease.
