Jupiter Wellness (NASDAQ:JUPW) has announced the initiation of an exploratory clinical study for its topical cream candidate CaniDermRx, aimed at treating first-degree burns.

JUPITER, FL / ACCESSWIRE / November 13, 2020 / Jupiter Wellness, Inc. (NASDAQ:JUPW), a leading developer of cannabidiol (CBD) based medical therapeutics and wellness products, today announced it has initiated an exploratory clinical study of CaniDermRx, its prescription topical cream candidate which combines CBD and aspartame as its active ingredients, in the treatment of first degree burns. While no double-blind, randomized controlled study has demonstrated efficacy of a CBD-aspartame product in the treatment of burns to Jupiter's knowledge, CaniDermRx may be effective in this indication based on its dual mechanisms of action. Since, cannabinoid receptor I (CB1R) is known to be rapidly expressed in mononuclear and fibroblastic cells following skin wounding, and aspartame has been found to induce angiogenesis in-vitro and in-vivo, Jupiter believes that CaniDermRx may accelerate burn wound healing compared to products currently on the market.
The double blind, placebo controlled study's protocol is in line with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Phase I studies and will recruit an estimated 50 patients through clinical sites in Europe and Asia. Subjects will be first-degree burn patients newly diagnosed with superficial partial thickness burns on
"We are pleased to commence this clinical study in what is now our second indication for our CBD-based prescription therapeutic candidate CaniDermRx. As the number of burn cases is increasing worldwide, we are eager to explore the healing potential of CaniDermRx's dual mechanisms of action for this patient population. Data resulting from the study would be included in an Investigational New Drug (IND) application that we intend to file with the FDA for Phase I or II studies in the U.S.," stated Jupiter CEO Brian John.
