IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 25, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Itonis, Inc. (OTC:ITNS) and Charles Hensley, Ph.D., the inventor of the Zicam® Cold Remedy, and founding member of Itonis Pharmaceuticals, are pleased to announce that Itonis Pharmaceuticals has started to organize a series of case studies involving the previously announced over-the-counter homeopathic nasal spray for the treatment of nausea.
The Company is in the process of identifying the clinical investigators who will participate in the case studies, which will test the tolerance and aesthetics of the anti-nausea nasal spray as a prelude to an independent, double blind placebo controlled efficacy study. In addition, case study results will be reported by participating clinicians outlining their patient's experience with the product. Published case studies are important as they provide peer group results to doctors, thus giving them the opportunity to learn and understand the benefits of the product.
Dr. Hensley commented, "In addition to standard clinical studies, the case studies are an important part of our clinical research program. As the case studies are published, it is an important step in providing detailed peer group information to doctors."
