An Ottawa-based bioscience company working to develop pharmaceuticals derived from cannabis says it’s closed a multimillion-dollar funding round to help advance its clinical testing of a drug to treat chronic pain.
Tetra Bio-Pharma, which is developing cannabinoid-based treatments for chronic pain related to cancer, says it’s closed a public offering of 35,191,000 units at a price of 26 cents each, for aggregate gross proceeds of $9,149,660.
The funds will be used to advance the company’s work on QIXLEEF, a therapy to treat uncontrolled pain in advanced cancer patients that’s in the late-phase drug development stage.
