Based in the UK, Oxford Cannabinoid Technologies is focused on advancing cannabinoid medicines for the treatment of pain and other indications. Lead asset OCT461201 is a CB2 selective agonist to be investigated for the treatment of neuropathic pain associated with CIPN and visceral pain in IBS as initial pain indications.

With the stigma that has become associated with opioids, alternative therapies for the treatment of pain are highly sought after. New drugs that target the endocannabinoid system may represent an innovative solution to address this need.

Oxford Cannabinoid Technologies (OCT) is focused on the development of endocannabinoid system-targeting new chemical entities (NCEs), phytocannabinoids (synthetic plant-derived cannabinoids) and synthetic cannabinoid derivatives. Lead asset OCT461201 is a cannabinoid receptor type 2 selective NCE agonist being developed as a potential treatment for neuropathic pain associated with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy and visceral pain in irritable bowel syndrome. OCT’s UK Phase I trial for OCT461201 concluded in October 2023 with no safety or tolerability concerns, but tight funding conditions have halted subsequent clinical progress. However, in January 2024 OCT announced a fund-raise for the development of its second asset, OCT130401 (an inhaled phytocannabinoid drug/device combination for trigeminal neuralgia); we expect Phase I to commence in Q2 CY24. OCT has two other programmes in earlier stages of development, targeting orphan and oncology indications.
