A Rare Jamaican Strain Vs. Pancreatic Cancer
An article posted on the Health Europa site reports that a drug development firm, Flavocure, has been granted Orphan drug status to study the effects of the flavonoid Caflanone (FBL-03G) on the treatment of pancreatic cancer. The FDA granted this status, following scientific studies of Black Swan, the cannabis strain containing Caflanone. The research showed that in animals with pancreatic cancer, the treatment demonstrated effectiveness in treating tumors.
Clinical trials of the treatment are expected to begin in the spring. Harvard University, the Pancreatic Cancer Network, and others have strongly endorsed the study. The article quotes the company’s co-founder, Clark Swanson, as saying, “We are optimistic that the trials will be successful, and thus far research has shown that Caflanone (FBL-03G) to be non-toxic. This is a departure from most drugs in clinical trials which typically carry risk for toxicity and side effects.”
