Ceapro Inc. Initiates Phase 1-2a Study Assessing Its Flagship Product Avenanthramides for Potential Applications in Inflammation Based Diseases

Dr. Jean-Claude Tardif, the principal investigator of the study and Director of the Research Center at the Montreal Heart Institute stated, "We are excited to explore the potential therapeutic benefits of avenanthramides and believe results from this study could mark a significant step forward in understanding the potential of avenanthramides in cardiovascular disease. Not only will the study assess safety of avenanthramides in healthy subjects, but it could also provide early signs of activity in subjects with low grade inflammation as part of the Phase 2a component. The results of such studies will provide valuable insights into the potential role of avenanthramides in reducing vascular inflammation and may have implications for cardiovascular health.”
