Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX, LEXXW), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, announced Friday that it had received approval from an independent review board for its planned human pilot study #3. The approval signals that the company can begin the study, which aims to investigate the first ever DehydraTECH-processed version of tirzepatide, a dual action glucagon-like peptide (“GLP-1”) + glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (“GIP”), in an oral dose format. Tirzepatide is approved for use in the U.S. under the Eli Lilly(TM)-owned Zepbound(R) and Mounjaro(R) brands.
Lexaria plans to begin subject enrollment shortly, with the company expecting to make an announcement as soon as the first dosing has started, potentially in late October. The company anticipates the final doses will be administered in late November.
