PRESS: Celadon subsidiary LVL Health published in the Express newspaper for game-changer cannabis clinical trial

There has been a new article published in the Express newspaper today about how one of Celadon’s subsidiary companies LVL Health‘s game-changing trial is providing the best data set to date in the UK for the use of cannabis-based medicines for chronic pain. Celadon Pharmaceuticals Plc is the majority shareholder in LVL Health.

Chronic pain impacts an estimated 14-28 million people in the UK (depending on the estimate). Not only have cannabis-based medicines’ efficacy been seen widely across the world, but cannabis-based medicines could save the NHS money and relieve pressure. Chronic pain patients on average cost the NHS £15k annually through medications, consultations, doctor visits, pain clinics and A&E.

ENVIRONMENT

Celadon uses a highly controlled indoor cultivation environment in order to produce plants to the tightest pharmaceutical tolerances and cannabinoid content. Hydroponics is used to grow plants in a soilless substrate, with mineral salts dissolved into high quality filtered water and delivered direct to the roots of the plant. Micro-zoned sensors monitor every aspect of the environment in real time; from the room’s temperature, lighting cycles and humidity, to the plant’s mineral absorption and transpiration rates. This allows Celadon to build a data bank of optimal growing conditions for each strain, as well as adjust the room automatically.

TRACKING

Celadon has a bespoke “track and trace” system throughout the production process, providing complete transparency. Each plant is given a unique QR code, allowing it to be traced from its origins through to the final product. IOT boxes are used to automatically feed data into the system, from environmental data to the product’s weight, at each stage of production. This provides full visibility over the production process, as well as inventory tracking and accurate cost analysis which feeds into our accounting systems.
