The University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha has enrolled the first patient in a clinical trial in partnership with ANANDA Scientific for an investigational drug to treat post-traumatic stress disorder.
The phase 2 trial is led by principal investigator Matthew Rizzo, MD, according to a March 14 news release. Dr. Rizzo currently serves as the Reynolds Professor and Chair of the UNMC Department of Neurological Sciences.
The trial aims to enroll 180 participants to evaluate the effectiveness of Nantheia ATL5, a drug using cannabidiol in ANANDA's proprietary Liquid Structure delivery technology to treat PTSD.
