Anaheim, CA – 
Lourdes Felix, CEO, CFO and Director of BioCorRx Inc., stated, “We continue our plan of pursuing patents internationally, and maintain our commitment of addressing the opioid crisis worldwide. Russia is suffering from serious and problematic drug consumption and a growing public health crisis with approximately 6% of the population using drugs. Filing this patent application is another key milestone in our intellectual property strategy to build a global patent portfolio, as we advance towards commencing our first-in-human clinical trial of BICX104.”
BioCorRx has received clearance from the FDA to proceed to human trials for BICX104 and expects to initiate the first-in-human clinical trial of the drug candidate as soon as scheduling permits. The project has been funded in large part by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), under award number UG3DA047925 and is a result of BioCorRx’s application under RFA DA-19-002, Development of Medications to Prevent and Treat Opioid Use Disorders and Overdose (UG3/UH3) (Clinical Trial Optional).
