NEW YORK, June 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Axim Biotechnologies, Inc. (AXIM® Biotech) (OTC:AXIM), a world leader in cannabinoid research and development, today announced that the company will be attending as a sponsor at the 28th Annual International Cannabinoid Research Society (ICRS) Symposium taking place in Leiden, The Netherlands from June 30 – July 5, 2018. AXIM’s Advisory Board Member and Chairman of Pharmacology at the University of Wageningen, Professor Dr. Renger Witkamp, will present the results from its phase IIA clinical trial for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with the company’s CanChew® Plus 50 mg cannabidiol (CBD) functional, controlled-release chewing gum.
“We are always excited for opportunities like this prestigious, scientific symposium to showcase and educate audiences on AXIM’s ongoing research with cannabinoid molecules and their potential for the treatment of various indications, in this case our IBS clinical trial results,” said George E. Anastassov, MD, DDS, MBA and Chief Executive Officer of AXIM® Biotech. “We look forward to sharing our accomplishments within the cannabinoid research community and learning about other innovative research being done in the industry.”
The International Cannabinoid Research Society (ICRS) is a non-political organization dedicated to scientific research regarding cannabinoids, ranging from biochemical, chemical, and physiological studies of the endogenous cannabinoid system to studies of the abuse potential of recreational cannabis. In addition to acting as a source for impartial information on cannabis and cannabinoids, the main role of the ICRS is to provide an open forum for researchers to meet and discuss their clinical studies.
IBS is the most common gastrointestinal disorder with a prevalence worldwide ranging from 9-23% of the general population. Complaints include abdominal discomfort or pain and altered bowel habits. Although the condition is not life-threatening, it strongly impairs quality of life and up to now there is no cure for IBS currently on the market.
AXIM® Biotech is a gold sponsor of the 28th annual ICRS Symposium. AXIM representatives will be available onsite to discuss the company’s current research and product pipeline, as well as potential business and investment prospects at the conference.
