TORONTO, Feb. 17, 2021 – Pathway Health Corp. (“Pathway” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce a research collaboration with Tilray Canada Ltd, a subsidiary of Tilray, Inc., one of the world’s leading companies in the research, manufacture and distribution of medicinal cannabis.  The Medical Cannabis in Older Patients Study (MCOPS) is a 6-month observational study sponsored by Tilray that will examine the impact of medical cannabis on chronic pain, sleep, quality of life, and prescription medication use in patients older than 50 years of age.

Pathway’s Chief Commercial Officer, Kim Wei, commented, “Pathway Health is pleased to be working with Tilray on this important study which we believe will advance our knowledge on the potential benefits of medical cannabis for all or certain of these medical conditions.”

Philippe Lucas, VP of Global Patient Research and Access at Tilray, adds that, “older individuals are amongst the fastest growing group of medical cannabis patients in Canada and around the world. Prospective, multi-site studies like MCOPS can improve the understanding of how older patients currently use medical cannabis, and its potential harms and benefits in this unique population.”
