Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On May 15, 2017, AXIM Biotechnologies, Inc. issued a press release which announced that information on the company’s Bioavailability Study on Dronabinol in a controlled-release, functional chewing gum form was now available on National Institutes of Health website https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03098940?term=axim&rank=1 officially titled “A Two Part, Open Label, Randomized, Four Period Cross-over Study to Compare the Bioavailability of Two Different Dronabinol Formulations in Healthy Male and Female Volunteers.” The Company believes that the clinical study will pave the scientific foundation for AXIM and its controlled-substance API partner to co-develop a dronabinol-based functional, controlled-release chewing gum product. The new dronabinol chewing gum product will be bioequivalent to Marinol®, and will be used to help treat patients with chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting and AIDS patients experiencing appetite and weight loss.
