Avecho Biotechnology has reported positive interim results from its phase III insomnia trial, raising the prospect of the company becoming the first to successfully register an over-the-counter CBD product in Australia, and internationally.

The firm said members of the Data Monitoring Board (DMB) – the only people permitted to see the early results – have recommended Avecho continue with its planned enrolment of a further 300 patients.

  1. A brilliant job by the CEO of Avecho, Dr Paul Gavin, to have achieved the positive results that he has from the interim analysis. After completing the trial, many people who have been struggling with insomnia for years/decades will be able to go to their pharmacy, purchase the medication, and find their lives changed for the better.
