Item 8.01 Other Events

Investigational New Drug (“IND”) Application Progress

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (“Lexaria”) received a positive full written response from the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) from its pre-Investigational New Drug (“Pre-IND”) meeting regarding DehydraTECH-CBD for the treatment of hypertension.

The FDA confirmed that it agreed with Lexaria’s proposal to pursue a 505(b)(2) new drug application (“NDA”) regulatory pathway for its program which is advantageous because this abbreviated pathway, as it is often described, typically enables a faster route to commercial approval than the traditional 505(b)(1) NDA pathway.

Lexaria’s proposed Phase Ib clinical protocol for DehydraTECH-CBD for treatment of a target of 100 patients with hypertension was received favorably by the FDA, with a view to opening the IND application to allow Lexaria to work towards full registration of DehydraTECH-CBD for treatment of hypertension.

In addition, the FDA agreed that additional non-clinical studies were not required prior to initiation of the DehydraTECH-CBD IND program, given the compelling data already presented by Lexaria and others regarding the safety and tolerability of CBD.
