“We are pleased to have Professor Keith McBurnett leading the UCSF team to perform ADHD Phase II Part 2 study,” said Dr. Howard Doong, ABVC BioPharma’s Chief Executive Officer.  “The quality and fast-moving enrollment at the UCSF site will help complete the study in a timely manner.” Further, Dr. Doong emphasized the importance of ABVC BioPharma’s focus on botanical sourcing in drug development. “Our clinical trials continue to demonstrate that medicines derived from plants have significant therapeutic benefits with few - if any - side effects in treating serious medical conditions.”
