This first-in-human study showed that IMCY-0098 has a promising safety profile in patients with recent-onset T1D at all doses tested. The safety profile of IMCY-0098 supports further investigation and risk/benefit optimization for different doses and schedules of this novel treatment. This will be further evaluated in ...

Background

CANDIDIASIS, RECURRENT APHTHOUS ULCER
Although topical steroids constitute the first-line therapy for recurrent aphthous ulcers (RAUs), their long-term use often leads to candidiasis. Although cannabidiol (CBD) can be an alternative for pharmacologically managing RAUs due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory in vivo effects, there is a lack of clinical a...

A CBD patch test was performed on 100 healthy subjects. CBD was applied on the normal oral mucosa of 50 healthy subjects 3 times/day for 7 days.

ULCER
Topical 0.1% CBD reduced ulcer size and accelerated ulcer healing without side effects. CBD exerted anti-inflammatory effects in the early stage and an analgesic effect in the late RAU stage. Thus, topical 0.1% CBD might be more appropriate for RAU patients who decline to take topical steroids, except for cases where C...
