INTIVA Commences Drug Development of a Cannabinoid Formulation to Treat Exposure to Nerve Agents Including Sarin Gas

DENVER, CO, USA, May 16, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- INTIVA Kotzker Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“INTIVA” or “the Company”) has licensed certain intellectual property that includes patent applications relating to the application of cannabinoid receptor modulators, for investigating the use in acute treatment during exposure to organophosphorus nerve agents and/or organophosphorus insecticides.

INTIVA is completing a Pre-Investigational New Drug (IND) meeting request and anticipates meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the near future to discuss its proposed formulations and project development program.

“There is a great need for drugs that can treat the horrendous effects of nerve agents. We are hopeful that we will be able to develop and obtain FDA approval of this drug, and, if we are able to do so, that the product will be able to improve the chances of survivability and alleviate some of the disabling neurological after-effects of exposure to organophosphorus nerve agents, including sarin gas, and/or organophosphorus insecticides,” stated Jeffrey Friedland, CEO of INTIVA.

INTIVA has assembled a team of experienced professionals in pharmaceutical development and regulatory compliance for this drug development project. INTIVA’s team is developing formulations and clinical trial models to establish safety and efficacy, and is looking forward to its meeting with the FDA.
