Arena Pharma’s cannabinoid receptor-targeting olorinab could help treat the pain associated with Crohn’s disease, one of the most debilitating symptoms of the inflammatory bowel disorder. Olorinab—a cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2) agonist—was able to reduce abdominal pain scores by at least 30% compared to baseline levels in 11 evaluable patients in the phase 2a study, which recruited 14 subjects with mild Crohn’s. Shares in the biotech rose almost 3% in after-hours trading after the results were announced.
