CV Sciences, Inc. to Host Webcast on its CBD-based Drug Development Program on November 10, 2016
Company to Discuss Advances in Program for Development of Therapeutic Products for Cessation of Smokeless Tobacco Use and Addiction — A Market Estimated to Exceed $2 Billion in the U.S.
LAS VEGAS, NV–(Marketwired – October 28, 2016) – CV Sciences, Inc. (OTCBB: CVSI) (the “Company”) today announced that it will hold a webcast on Thursday, November 10, 2016 at 5:00PM Eastern Standard Time to discuss its drug development program and specifically its drug candidate utilizing synthetically-formulated CBD for use in treatment of smokeless tobacco addiction. According to Statista, there were approximately $5.3 billion in retail sales of smokeless tobacco products in 2014, and approximately 1.3 billion units of smokeless tobacco products sold during that time. Smokeless tobacco addiction is a huge unmet medical need, as there are currently no FDA-approved drugs to treat this widespread and deadly addiction. The current treatment market in the U.S. alone is estimated at greater than $2 billion.
The webcast will discuss the Company’s initial drug candidate (CVSI-007), which is a chewing gum that combines synthetic CBD and nicotine.
The Company will provide details on webcast access by press release on Thursday, November 3, 2016.
