ANAHEIM, CA, Nov. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE – BioCorRx, Inc. (OTCQB: BICX) (the “Company”), a developer and provider of advanced solutions in the treatment of substance use disorders, today provided a business update for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.

Brady Granier, CEO, President, and Director of BioCorRx, Inc., stated, “We continue to work on the advancement of BICX102, a sustained release naltrexone implant for the treatment of opioid and alcohol use disorders. In early October, we received a Just-In-Time (JIT) request from NIDA on our grant application submitted in May of this year. We submitted the requested information last month and the grant application is now pending administrative review as of today. Although we were not given the exact administrative review date in our most recent update from NIDA, we expect to know the results of that review soon after it is completed. While we continue to feel positive about the grant opportunity, our work is progressing on the advancement of BICX102 regardless of the grant outcome. We are extremely encouraged by the outlook for the business.”

Lourdes Felix, CFO, COO, and Director of BioCorRx, commented, “We continue to work diligently towards advancing BICX102, including build out of the machinery and procurement of ingredients. We have also added additional industry experts to help in planning so that we are fully prepared when we initiate the next phase of our drug development program. We also continue to participate in industry conferences. In September, we hosted an exhibit at the 2nd Annual National Opioid Crisis Management Congress in Washington, DC. We met with top thought leaders and received positive feedback on our BioCorRx® Recovery Program.”
