NCT03766269

Brief Summary

This study will be a 12-week, open-label trial that is designed to evaluate the Opioid-Sparing effect of Dronabinol at ranging doses when coadministered with the opioid analgesics that are currently being prescribed to patients for their chronic pain condition. The purpose of this trial will be to assess the effectiveness of Dronabinol when combined with opioid analgesics to relieve pain at lower opioid doses and to evaluate any reduction of opioid-related side effects. Participants will take the study-drug, Dronabinol, along with their regular prescribed opioids and the results will be evaluated and analyzed according to defined endpoints.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Pain Intensity Scale (0-10)

    To measure the change in pain intensity from baseline using the Opioid Sparing Diary Toolkit. The measurement of the pain intensity will be derived from the Brief Pain Inventory (Short-Form) item #3. "Please rate your pain by marking the box beside the number that best describes your pain at its worst in the last 24 hours." The score is reported as a value between 0 and 10, with 0 indicative of no pain, and 10 indicative of "pain as bad as you can imagine". The score will be considered a continuous level of measurement.

    Daily (Days 1-82)

  • Self-Reported Opioid Use (Opioid Dose)

    To measure the change in opioid dose from baseline using the Opioid Sparing Diary Toolkit

    Daily (Days 1-82)

  • Self-Reported Opioid Use Frequency (Opioid Dose Frequency)

    To measure the change in opioid use frequency from baseline using the Opioid Sparing Diary Toolkit

    Daily (Days 1-82)

Secondary Outcomes (16)

  • Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)

    Study Visits 1-5 (Days 1, 14, 28, 56, 82)

  • Hospital and Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS)

    Study Visits 1-5 (Days 1, 14, 28, 56, 82)
