Living Cell Technologies (ASX: LCT) has taken a significant step in the field of cannabis-based medicine by filing a provisional patent application for a CBD-based combination drug called AI-116, designed to treat dementia.

Radiopharmaceutical company Clarity Pharmaceuticals (ASX: CU6) achieved a significant milestone by completing cohort 3 in the theranostic 64Cu/67Cu SARTATE neuroblastoma trial.
