Research Study with Appletree Medical Group

Appletree is one of the largest multidisciplinary community medical groups in Canada, serving more than 700,000 patients from its 35 medical centers in Ottawa and the GTA.

Together with Appletree and a leading Clinical Research Organization, PureSinse is launching a large-scale, peer-reviewed study on the efficacy of medical cannabis in the treatment of certain medical conditions.

The study will examine which cannabis strains and cannabinoid-terpene combinations provide improved therapeutic results for conditions such as neuropathic pain, insomnia, and anxiety disorders, as well as their effectiveness in reducing dependence on opioid medications in patients suffering from chronic pain disorders.

The observational data will guide the development of targeted pharmaceutical and wellness products. At the same time, the study will seek to provide the Canadian and international medical communities, as well as public health agencies, with relevant and valuable insights into the potential therapeutic effects of cannabis.

This partnership demonstrates our commitment to quality data, leading edge analytics, and evidenced-based research. It will be a leap forward for dramatic improvements in patient care. It will also help to expand our knowledge and our ability to develop sophisticated cannabis medicines for improving the lives of patients.

“We are excited about this important real-world study that will further develop our global understanding on the medical use of cannabis. It will ultimately allow physicians to make better decisions for prescribing cannabis from reputable, peer-reviewed clinical data, while providing valuable insights for developing unique cannabinoid-based pharmaceutical products,” said Malay Panchal, R.Ph., B.Sc.Phm., President & CEO of Pure Global.

“This partnership with PureSinse will help us answer many of the efficacy and safety questions surrounding medical cannabis. It will also help inform doctors about the appropriate prescribing of cannabis-based treatments, by providing an evidence-based understanding of the various products’ effects in clinical practice,” said Dr. Abhishek Raut, Medical Director at Appletree. “We are looking forward to working with the Pure Global team to expand our understanding and knowledge base, while making a significant and important contribution to the growing body of medical research regarding the use of medical cannabis.”
