PVOTF Advances CBD Therapy Delivery Options
- Forecasts envision medical cannabis market reaching $55.8 billion by 2025
- PVOTF filing patents for smoked, transdermal and mucosal delivery of therapeutics
- Global partnerships and acquisitions open windows of opportunity for company
With its recently announced plan to acquire Agro-Biotech, a Québec-based ACMPR Canadian licensed cannabis producer (http://nnw.fm/LeZ3q), Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. (CSE: PVOT) (OTCQB: PVOTF) has raised the bar in the race to capture part of the booming medical cannabis market, which is expected to reach over $55 billion by 2025. Agro-Biotech, which operates a fully-licensed indoor hydroponic cannabis production facility that’s able to turn out 10,000 kilograms per year, gives Pivot Pharmaceuticals a unique vertically-integrated position in the industry. Pivot is already known for its advanced patent-backed CBD therapy delivery options, and delivery technology has become a hot button in the burgeoning marijuana market.
Amid the flurry of activity surrounding the rush to provide medical marijuana therapies in markets where it is newly legalized, one lingering question regulators and industry insiders continue to grapple with is how to best administer cannabis to patients seeking relief from muscle spasms, pain, anxiety and other disorders. Pivot Pharmaceuticals is evaluating and preparing to market a variety of drug delivery technologies that can help the assimilation of cannabinoids for such human and veterinary patients.
Pivot has identified an area of need within the industry as efforts to provide clinical data for cannabis’s purported benefits strive to establish a scientific credence to what has been a largely word-of-mouth substantiation of the drug. Decades of recreational use, mostly in smoking marijuana, as well as historical research into cannabis’s ancient therapeutic uses, have given rise to the newly popular movement to establish clinical uses for the plant as governmental recognition has spread across the United States and Canada, as well as in some other countries across the globe.
As part of that movement, some companies are searching for alternatives to smoking the plant, not only to avoid the image of casual and medically unregulated recreational drug use but also out of concern for patients’ health and the interests of non-patients who may be offended by the smoke. Pivot has filed three provisional patents targeting different cannabinoid delivery methods. One anticipates inhalation for delivery of the therapeutics, another promotes transdermal passage through the skin using patches and creams, and a third prefers topical delivery through mucus in the buccal, nasal, vaginal and anal areas using a gel, mouthwash or suppository (http://nnw.fm/c28Ya).
The British Columbia, Canada-based company’s agreement with Germany’s Solmic Research GmbH has given Pivot worldwide rights to the Solmic Solubilisation technology underpinning a water-soluble oral solution that Pivot has made ready for market. A partnership with Israel’s Solubest Ltd. has resulted in a semi-solid cream that is currently in the stability evaluation phase of development, and Pivot’s anticipated February 28 closing on its option to acquire 100 percent of North Carolina’s Thrudermic, LLC has already led to the commencement of development of a product using Thrudermic’s transdermal nanotechnology for a systemic cannabidiol (CBD) product. Access to Israeli labs licensed to work with CBD and its more intoxicating cannabis sibling tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) gives Pivot an edge in research and development.
Pivot is also scheduled to close on its acquisition of California’s ERS Holdings, LLC on February 28, which has a patented ready-to-infuse cannabis (“RTIC”) oil-to-powder technology that Pivot expects to monetize by entering the cannabis-infused beverage market, particularly in the alcohol beverage industry, where Pivot has already identified potential partners as beverage companies battle the possibility of legal marijuana eating into beer sales (http://nnw.fm/rdWK5). The company also expects to use RTIC technology for wellness products such as over-the-counter sleep aids and cough medications.
As legalization has spread for cannabis’s medical applications, market forecasts have grown, and the therapeutic product derivatives of the plant are expected to fuel a $55.8 billion market by 2025, according to a 2017 report by Grand View Research (http://nnw.fm/X3ohq). Pivot’s first Solmic-enabled oral product, PGS-N001, is designed to provide relief to patients suffering from chemotherapy-induced vomiting, nausea, neutropenia and anemia — major side effects from cancer treatment that often lead to the premature discontinuation of the treatment. Of the 14 million new cancer diagnoses identified by the National Cancer Institute in 2012, about four million of them were expected to lead to chemotherapy treatment, and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (“CINV”) affects an estimated 70 to 80 percent of patients undergoing chemotherapy, according to Transparency Market Research (http://nnw.fm/8CzeJ), fueling a cancer supportive care products market that’s expected to reach $29.87 billion by 2021.
Pivot intends to register PGS-N001 as a natural health product for consumers and follow it with other products that will have a shorter development cycle as they follow the natural health product pathway.
“Solmic’s water-soluble technology has already been demonstrated in the nutraceutical and cosmeceutical markets in Europe,” Pivot CEO Patrick Frankham stated in a news release. “The addition of Solmic, our second disruptive drug delivery technology platform for cannabinoids, strengthens our business strategy to be a market leader in the development and commercialization of cannabinoid, cannabidiol (CBD), and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-based products.”

PVOTF “Seed to Derivatives” – Vertical Integration in Burgeoning Cannabis Market
- Letter of Intent to acquire Agro-Biotech, to become vertically integrated from “seed to derivatives”
- Development and commercialization of therapeutic pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals
- Patented formulation and delivery technologies
Scientific studies have provided empirical credence to the medical efficacy of cannabinoids for multiple maladies. Globally, researchers and biopharmaceutical companies are now laser focused on cannabinoid-based therapeutics that may hold blockbuster medical potential, providing solutions to a range of unmet medical needs. However, current drug delivery techniques remain antiquated. There are inherent metabolic and bioavailability issues affecting the consistent, effective delivery of cannabinoids. It’s becoming clear that these new pharmaceutical therapeutics require revolutionary delivery techniques. Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. (CSE: PVOT) (OTCQB: PVOTF) is establishing new paradigms in cannabinoid drug development and delivery.
Pivot Pharmaceuticals is transforming the development and commercialization of these new therapeutic pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals with unique drug delivery platform technologies. Pivot’s medical cannabis product division, Pivot Green Stream Health Solutions (PGS), conducts research, development, and commercialization of cannabinoid-based nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals, and it has acquired worldwide rights to BiPhasix™ Transdermal Drug Delivery platform technology (topical) and Solmic Solubilisation technology (oral) for the delivery and commercialization of cannabinoid, cannabidiol (CBD), and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-based products. The company recently filed three provisional patents for cannabinoid-based product delivery with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (http://nnw.fm/GmkU0), and these latest patent filings join an established number of global rights to topical, oral, transdermal, food and beverage technologies that Pivot has already secured.
Pivot’s pipeline of potential CBD-based pharmaceuticals now covers treatment indications for supportive care to relieve nausea, mucositis and pain, including cancer-related and menstrual pain, dermatological conditions and even glaucoma. Pivot is also developing and commercializing an array of pharmaceutical-grade formulations for cannabinoid-based consumer health care products.
With enhanced drug delivery and development well underway, Pivot has turned to its next business objective, vertical integration. The company just announced a Letter of Intent for the proposed acquisition of Agro-Biotech, a Québec-based ACMPR Canadian licensed cannabis producer (http://nnw.fm/LeZ3q). Agro-Biotech operates a fully licensed, purpose-built, indoor hydroponic cannabis production facility capable of producing a cumulative 10,000 kilograms per year.
Pivot is already a differentiated player in the Canadian cannabis industry due to its unique approach to enhanced dosing and bioavailability of cannabinoids with proven pharmaceutical and patented formulation and delivery systems. With the acquisition of Agro-Biotech, Pivot Pharmaceuticals expects to become vertically integrated, controlling the entire manufacturing process from “seed to derivatives” and capturing margin along the entire supply chain.
In the news release, Dr. Patrick Frankham, Pivot CEO, stated, “I am delighted to welcome Agro-Biotech to Pivot… With this acquisition, we are well positioned to enter the Québec cannabis market and attract experienced scientists to our organization. Pivot will seek to expand its footprint in the province beginning immediately following financing activities which are underway. After several months of identifying and discussing with potential partners in the cannabis space, the Pivot management team and our scientific advisors agreed that it was in the best interest of our shareholders to acquire the compliment of licenses which will enable us to develop our pipeline of patented formulation and delivery technologies all under one vertically integrated process from seed to derivatives. Pivot will only work with partners who truly control their processes and have the finest infrastructure and qualified personnel. We believe that these characteristics will define best in class products for wellness and health conscious consumers using bio-cannabis….”
This latest announcement follows a pattern of strong corporate development by Pivot Pharmaceuticals and uniquely positons the company to become a major force in the burgeoning cannabis markets not only in Canada but around the world.

PVOTF Provides Update Covering Recent Achievements and Activities
- Update highlights proposed acquisitions, product development and growing IP portfolio
- Three new patent filings join established global rights to other patented technologies
- Innovative transdermal delivery technology increases bioavailability of cannabinoids
- Global cannabis market projected to reach $31.4 billion by 2021
Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTCQB: PVOTF) has provided investors an update covering a number of recent achievements and ongoing activities, including the company’s proposed acquisitions of ERS Holdings, LLC and Thrudermic, LLC; its ongoing product development efforts; its growing IP portfolio; its termination of a previously announced standstill agreement; out-licensing of its IP; and its engagement of an established European distribution partner (http://nnw.fm/4FinO). In a news release, Dr. Patrick Frankham, CEO of Pivot, stated, “We are overwhelmed by interested companies who now understand that derivatives and superior formulations will improve cannabis product experience and healthy outcomes.”
Based in Vancouver, Canada, Pivot Pharmaceuticals is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of therapeutic pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals using proprietary drug delivery platform technologies. By developing and commercializing a number of pharmaceutical-grade formulations for cannabinoid-based consumer health care products, Pivot Pharmaceuticals is positioning itself to capitalize on the impressive growth of the cannabis market. According to market research company Brightfield Group, the marijuana market will experience a CAGR of 60 percent to reach $31.4 billion by 2021 (http://nnw.fm/b4Rx2).
As part of its overall growth strategy, Pivot Pharmaceuticals recently filed three provisional patents for cannabinoid-based product delivery with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, according to a company press release (http://nnw.fm/GmkU0) issued on February 1, 2018. Its three patents cover:
- Transdermal nanotechnology delivery of cannabis using patches and creams
- Mucus topical cannabis delivery through buccal, nasal, vaginal and anal areas using a gel, mouthwash or suppository
- Inhalation delivery of cannabis for topic or systemic applications
These latest provisional patent filings join an established number of global rights to topical, oral, transdermal, food and beverage patented technologies that Pivot has already secured.
A case in point is Pivot’s recent acquisition of the BiPhasix™ Transdermal Drug Delivery technology for the delivery of cannabinoids. Oral delivery of cannabinoids can produce inconsistent absorption efficiencies and unfavorable side effects, while topical delivery technologies often suffer from weak formulation issues. By contrast, transdermal delivery has greater potential to produce a more favorable outcome without the negative side effects and absorption issues. Another benefit of transdermal delivery is that it enables patients to apply medication over a prolonged period with fewer side effects than with other methods of delivery. The BiPhasix™ delivery system, thoroughly tested in clinical trials approved by the FDA and EMA, was demonstrated to enhance the bioavailability of drugs and to improve clinical outcomes.
Pivot Pharmaceuticals also created subsidiary Pivot Green Stream Health Solutions Inc. to focus on improving the bioavailability of cannabinoid-based pharmaceuticals. Pivot Green Stream will develop natural cannabinoid-based health products that qualify for the Natural Health Product (NHP) designation conferred by Health Canada.
In addition, Pivot has acquired the global rights from Solmic GmbH for the development and commercialization of the Solmic Solubilization Technology Platform. This formulation technology provides significantly higher bioavailability of active ingredients while masking unpleasant tastes and smells. This oral delivery platform greatly increases uptake of fat-soluble ingredients from the gut into the blood system, resulting in increased bioavailability.
The company has several products in its development pipeline which target cancer supportive care, pain and inflammation, dermatology and eye disease. They include PGS-N005, a cannabinoid-based topical cream to treat female sexual dysfunction. This formulation will treat hypoactive sexual desire disorder, aimed specifically at peri-menopausal, menopausal and post-menopausal women with a decline in sexual desire and response. It is estimated that up to 63 percent of women in the United States may be affected by this disorder, with the female sexual dysfunction market estimated to exceed $4 billion.
Pivot Pharmaceuticals has a seasoned management team with extensive clinical, product development, commercial and financial experience. The company has positioned itself to be a crucial vertical in the cannabis industry, with a focus on biotechnological development. As part of its business strategy, Pivot works with licensed producers (LPs) and licensed dealers (LDs) to bring new therapies to the market.
