• CAB reviewed the development program of PPP’s inhalation cannabis product PPP001
• Medical marijuana product that the company is developing as a prescription controlled drug for inhalation using a fully assembled titanium pipe

OTTAWA, ONTARIO–(Nov. 2, 2016) – Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. (“TetraBio” or the “Company“) (CSE:TBP) through its subsidiary, PhytoPain Pharma Inc. (“PPP“), is pleased to announce that it held its Scientific and Clinical Advisory Board (“CAB“) meeting on October 29^th. The CAB reviewed the development program of PPP’s inhalation cannabis product PPP001. PPP001 is a medical marijuana product that the company is developing as a prescription controlled drug for inhalation using a fully assembled titanium pipe.

The Board, which is comprised of experts in clinical research, pain management as well as cancer, and neurological product drug development (ref: news release August 26, 2016), met to review and discuss the development program to date, the study design of the Phase I trial and the overall clinical development plan of PPP001. This included the exclusion and inclusion criteria of the proposed Phase I trial, the Phase 1a and 1b dosing scheme, and the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic assessments. The CAB also examined the clinical rationale for the selection of the delta-9-tetrahydrocannibinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD) dose levels for use in PPP001.

The CAB also reviewed the salient elements of future PPP’s Phase II and III clinical trials for the development of PPP001 in various medical conditions, including the use of medical marijuana as a second or third line therapy for cancer and HIV patients with uncontrolled pain. The CAB reports directly to the Board of Directors of the Company and will be submitting a report on the outcome of the CAB meeting in the near future.

Currently, there is only limited safety or efficacy information, if any, derived from well-controlled clinical trials available to physicians to adequately assess the benefits and risks of prescribing medical marijuana. Dr. Luc Vachon, President of the CAB commented: ²the members of the CAB are very pleased and excited to be participating in a full pharmaceutical approach on the development of medical marijuana as a prescription drug. The members expressed that the clinical development plan used by PPP – supported by a formal regulatory path – will help generate the type of clinical information required by physicians.²

“This team of scientific and clinical experts provided us with excellent guidance on the development program. We are pleased to recommend to the Board of Directors that PPP is ready to submit the Clinical Trial Application (CTA) for the conduct of its Phase I trial in healthy human volunteers,” stated Dr. Chamberland, Chief Scientific Officer and Regulatory Affairs.
