VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
Core One Labs Inc.
(CSE: COOL), (OTC: CLABD), (Frankfurt: LD6, WKN: A3CSSU) (“
Core One
” or the “
Company
”) is pleased to announce that the scientific team of its wholly owned subsidiary Akome Biotech Ltd. (“
Akome
”) has initiated the next step in their clinical development designs for the use of their patent pending psychedelic formulations AKO001 and AKO003, in the treatment of ischemic stroke and depression, respectively. These studies will further enhance the Company’s knowledge supporting the use of psychedelics as strong candidates in the treatment of these serious neurological and mental health conditions.
As the next step in its clinical development design process, Akome is completing a comprehensive search and rigorous selection process, through which multiple commercial research organizations and academic centers are vetted, to determine a candidate organization to conduct the necessary
in vitro
and
in vivo
studies. Once a partner organization is chosen for both the
in vivo
and
in vitro processes,
studies can be conducted simultaneously to expedite the process.
Conducting
in vitro
and
in vivo
studies are essential in the development of any new pharmaceutical drug treatments.
In vitro
studies, determine whether a pharmaceutical candidate produces the desired changes on cell cultures and is conducted in test tubes. These studies are usually completed quickly and are designed based on information already presented in the provisional patents that have been filed.
In vivo
studies test the pharmaceutical candidate in animals with a similar disease to the disease the pharmaceutical is intended to treat in humans. Once both studies are completed clinical trials on humans can begin.
“
We are excited to announce we have started the process of moving forward in the next step of our clinical trials development for our stroke treatment drug formulation and our depression treatment drug formulation. Identifying a partner with experience, and knowledge of the targeted diseases, will allow Core One to efficiently complete well thought out, and detailed studies,
