MediPharm Labs was created in 2015 by a handful of industry experts in Ontario. With the medicinal benefits of cannabis firmly established – and with a global patient market demanding quality cannabis oil – MediPharm Labs was born. While initially exploring options to cultivate cannabis plant, MediPharm Labs came to recognize the opportunity for a select focus on cannabis concentrates. MediPharm Labs set out to master this area of production, and rely on the many cultivating experts to provide quality raw materials. In 2016, MediPharm labs submitted an application to Health Canada for approval to distribute medicinal cannabis oil. Proudly, MediPharm Labs was one of the first Licensed Producer applications in history to apply for license that did not include the cultivation of cannabis. The key to MediPharm Labs` unrivaled quality is our best possible use of modern technology and innovative extraction techniques. MediPharm Labs produces cannabis oil that is pharmaceutical grade and and meets the specific quality and purity requirements. The team behind MediPharm Labs have proven industry experience in the areas of pharmaceutical extraction, processing and quality assurance. In 2018, MediPharm Labs is gearing up to commence distribution to our Health Canada approved business partners and make history. The response has been enormous, positive and heartening. Medicinal cannabis has arrived – and through our partners we will provide patients with access to pure, consistent and safe cannabis oil. MediPharm Labs commenced construction of a world-class extraction facility in Australia in June 2018. MediPharm Labs Australia is a subsidiary of MediPharm Labs Inc. and the companies` first expansion outside of Canada. MediPharm Labs Australia completed its application process with the federal Office of Drug Control in February 2018 to extract and import medical cannabis products in Australia.
Acer Therapeutics is a biotech company, headquartered in Cambridge, MA, that develops repurposed and reformulated medicines for the treatment of ultra-orphan diseases with significant unmet medical needs. Acer`s lead candidate, EDVISO™ (celiprolol), is the first pharmaceutical therapy seeking approval for patients with vascular-type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS). Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is a group of hereditary disorders of connective tissue with no ethnic predisposition. vEDS is a subtype characterized by severe arterial dissections, ruptures and early death. Complications are rare in childhood, but affect 25% of patients before the age of 20, and 80% by the age of 40. Median age of death is estimated to be around 50 years. Patients are diagnosed by clinical symptoms and confirmed by presence of mutations in the COL3A1 gene. There are approximately 2,000 documented patients, but prevalence could be as high as 5,000 patients in the U.S. (Pepin 2014). There are no specific pharmacological treatments for vEDS and medical intervention centers on symptomatic treatment, prophylactic measures and genetic counseling. Acer was awarded orphan drug designation by the FDA in January 2015. Acer`s second candidate, ACER-001, is the first pharmaceutical therapy being developed for patients with Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD). MSUD is a devastating genetic disease – an inborn error of amino acid metabolism. Approximately 800 patients suffer from MSUD in the U.S. and 3,000 worldwide. There are no therapeutic options for MSUD and diet is not enough. Despite careful dietary management, the majority of MSUD patients have chronic neurological and social impairment, as well as life-threatening episodes of intoxication. Acer was awarded orphan drug designation by the FDA in August 2014.
