PreveCeutical Signs Non-Disclosure Agreement with World Leading Specialized Drug Delivery Device Manufacture

PreveCeutical Medical Inc. (CSE:PREV) (OTCQB:PRVCF) (FSE:18H) (the “Company” or “PreveCeutical”), announces that it has signed a non-disclosure agreement (the “NDA”) with a globally recognized, innovative drug delivery device manufacturer (the “Manufacturer”). The NDA will allow the Company to enter into discussions with the Manufacturer for the supply of spray devices for use in the Company’s soluble gel (“Sol‑gel”) drug delivery research program (the “Program”).

The Company’s research partner, The University of Queensland, has received various prototype spray devices from the Manufacturer at the Pharmacy Australia Centre of Excellence, where research on the Sol-gel Program and testing of the devices for the Program is being conducted. The research and testing is being led by PreveCeutical’s Chief Research Officer, Dr. Harendra Parekh.

PreveCeutical intends to use the Sol-gel technology to develop therapies for a range of symptoms, including pain, inflammation, seizures and neurological disorders (see news release dated April 24, 2017). Engineered Sol-gels present an ideal platform for these therapies as they are in‑solution upon administration and rapidly gel upon contact with mucosal tissue. The Company believes that the Sol-gels have the ability to provide for safer and more reliable drug delivery of agents, such as cannabidiols (“CBDs”), that are rapidly metabolized or that would benefit from direct nose-to-brain CNS (central nervous system) delivery.

PreveCeutical’s Chairman, CEO and President, Mr. Stephen Van Deventer commented, “We are pleased to have signed an NDA with this world-leading manufacturer that has set a standard for the drug delivery industry with their advanced quality products. Their recognition of the significance of safety regulations, such as tamper-proof drug delivery devices, are of the upmost importance to us. Although the Program is still in its preliminary stage, coordinating the evaluation of drug delivery devices in parallel with the Sol-gel Program demonstrates PreveCeutical’s commitment to bringing the Sol-gel nose-to-brain delivery system to market.”
