NanaBis wins head-to-head with approved cannabis drug
Further to previously announced Stage 1 results, NanaBis™ data from that component of the trial was directly compared to published data for an ARTG approved Cannabis Drug.
The head to head comparison demonstrates a similar plasma level of THC and CBD with NanaBis being half the dose.
Similarly, the rate of absorption for NanaBis was faster.

Based on trial activity, Medlab is actively pursuing regulatory pathways for TGA in Australia, FDA in the US and Europe’s EMA.
