    FSD Pharma Inc, (CSE:HUGE) announced today that its strategic R&D partner, SciCann Therapeutics Inc. (“SciCann”) received a positive International Search Authority (ISA) report from the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) for its SCN-001 cannabidiol (CBD) combination therapy, the basis of its “Steady Stomach” product.

    FSD Pharma Inc, (CSE:HUGE) announced today that its strategic R&D partner, SciCann Therapeutics Inc. (“SciCann”) received a positive International Search Authority (ISA) report from the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) for its SCN-001 cannabidiol (CBD) combination therapy, the basis of its “Steady Stomach” product.

    The comprehensive prior art search performed by ISA for the PCT/IL2018/051000 patent application by SciCann led the agency to conclude that the enhanced CBD combination therapy claimed by the patent application is novel and inventive.

    Under the terms of FSD’s strategic agreement with SciCann, FSD holds exclusive manufacturing and distribution rights for the “Steady Stomach” product in Canada.

    Dr. Zohar Koren, Co-founder and CEO of SciCann stated, “This patent application covers the “Steady Stomach” product, for which we have recently launched the company’s first clinical study with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) patients. The preliminary affirmation we received from the ISA regarding the novelty of this unique combination therapy is an important milestone, which allows us to file national phase applications in the US, Canada and the rest of the world in order to achieve comprehensive IP protection for the product. We believe that our strategy of developing novel and proprietary synergistic combination cannabinoid therapies is the right approach to bring new and IP protected products to the cannabinoid based pharmaceutical space.”

    Dr. Raza Bokhari, CEO of FSD Pharma stated, “This positive ISA report for CBD combination therapy is welcome news for FSD Pharma. We expect SciCann’s Steady Stomach product, currently in the phase I/II clinical development stage, to have a positive impact in the lives of IBS patients. FSD’s exclusive distribution rights for the product in Canada is in line with our company’s continuing efforts in research and development of novel and proprietary, cannabinoid-based treatments.”
