RYAH Group, Inc. announced a collaboration with OMNI Medical Services ("OMNI") to perform a clinical study in the United States with patients using inhalation of medical cannabis to evaluate coronavirus disease ("COVID-19") related treatment methods. The collaboration with OMNI will study the potential anti-inflammatory effects of cannabis and cannabidiol ("CBD") for both prevention and treatment of COVID-19. The planned study is anticipated to run for five years, with Phase II enrollment starting in the second quarter of 2022 and ending in 2024. The study will look to enroll between 5,000 and 11,000 of OMNI's patients across several states including Florida, Ohio, and Michigan, with plans to expand into the Carolinas (pending passing of medical cannabis legislation in 2022). The research protocol was submitted in May 2021 and has been reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"). OMNI is currently pursuing funding through the National Institutes of Health to further support the planned study. The patient monitoring data derived from the RYAH Smart Inhaler and ecosystem, along with monitoring of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of cannabis use, will be presented by OMNI to the FDA as part of the effort for national legalization of cannabis for medical use.
