Cosmos Health Enters the Development Phase for CCX0722, an Innovative Product for Obesity and Weight Management

CHICAGO, IL / ACCESSWIRE / November 29, 2022 / Cosmos Holdings d/b/a Cosmos Health, Inc. ("the Company") (NASDAQ:COSM), a global healthcare group with proprietary lines of nutraceuticals and distributor of pharmaceuticals, branded generics, OTC medications and medical devices, today announced that it has entered the development phase for CCX0722, an innovative product for obesity and weight management, based on the effectiveness of biocompatible 3D spatial fillers, from natural ingredients.

COSMOS plans to initiate clinical intervention in the fourth quarter of 2023.

The product was developed by Cloudpharm PC and collaborators states Dr. Panagiotis Zoumpoulakis, who is also the R&D Advisory Board member for Cosmos Health. Dr. Zoumpoulakis is an associate professor and Head of the department of Food Science and Technology of the University of West Attica, Greece.
