[{"type":"text","content":"\nOTTAWA, April 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. (\"Tetra\" or the \"Company\") (TSX-V: TBP) (OTCQB: TBPMF), today announced it is ready to resume its Phase 3 clinical program in advanced cancer pain patients with the objective to assess Health- Related Quality of Life (HrQoL).\n The SERENITY© Study will use a vaporizer, a Health Canada approved Class 2 medical device as a delivery mechanism which is more acceptable to hospitals and palliative care centers. Tetra’s new drug formerly referred to as PPP-001 will be investigated in the SERENITY © Study under the commercial trademark of CAUMZ.
