The company has a solid pipeline of news flow in 2017

Zelda Therapeutics (ASX:ZLD) shares have continued their strong run in 2017 trading up over 85% year to date to $0.074.

This also means that the medical cannabis company’s share price has nearly tripled since listing on the Australian Stock Exchange in November, 2016 at $0.025.

Zelda is an Australian-based bio-pharmaceutical company that has secured exclusive, global access to an extensive set of human data related to medicinal cannabis.

This human data has been generated over several years by a California-based group that has a high profile within the U.S. and a growing international profile.

Zelda has embarked on a program of human clinical trials initially in sleep disorder (insomnia) and eczema indications.

In addition, Zelda is building a pre-clinical research portfolio targeting cancer.

The company expects to be commencing these trials during 2017 and have identified a relatively rapid path to commercialisation.

If successful, this could see Zelda obtaining product registrations in selected markets in 2018 with revenues flowing from there.
