NCT03877991

Brief Summary

The oral bio-availability of cannabidiol (CBD) is low due to poor water solubility and susceptibility to extensive first pass metabolism, resulting in relative bio-availability of 6%.This project is designed to evaluate the plasma concentration vs. time profile of a self emulsifying drug delivery system termed Long Chain Nano Lipospheres (LNL) for enhancing the oral bio-availability of cannabidiol (CBD). The main goal of this study is to evaluate the bio-equivalence of CBD in the LNL product, compared to CBD in a sesame oil vehicle and CBD without any formulation, in powder form. Bio-equivalence is measured by AUC 0-24h, Tmax and Cmax.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Pharmacokinetic parameters of CBD

    Assesment of the pharmacokinetic profile of Cannabidiol in healthy volunteers. Plasma concentrations will be determined using HPLC-MS/MS validiated assay. The unit of measure will be provided as ng/ml.

    24 Hours

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Exposure to the metabolites of the study drugs

    24 hours

  • Measurement of pharmacodynamic (PD) variables following CBD administration

    24 hours

  • Measurment of reaction time and coordination following CBD administration.

    24 hours

Study Arms (3)

CBD-sesame oil capsule

EXPERIMENTAL

12 volunteers will receive a single oral dose of CBD in a sesame oil vehicle filled in a capsule, with 200 mL of water. The dose of CBD to be administrated is 90 mg.

Drug: CBD-sesame oil capsule

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 45 Years
Sexmale
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • \. Men 18 through 45 years of age with body mass index in the range of: 19 through 30 kg/m2.
  • \. Participants should be able to ingest and absorb oral medications.
  • \. Subjects must be in good health as determined by medical history, vital signs measurements, physical examination (routine examination performed by the general physician), and clinical laboratory tests (blood count and biochemistry conducted in the Health maintenance organization in Israel( "kupat holim").
  • \. Potential participants will undergo a screening/explanatory interview in which their compatibility will be examined. The screening interview will be held prior to the first day of trial (at least during the near month preceding the first day of trial).
  • \. Subjects must be able to understand and comply with the requirements of the study (e.g. all medication, dietary, and alcohol restrictions).
  • \. Subjects must provide written informed consent to participate in the study after reading the information and consent form, and after having an opportunity to discuss the study with the investigator.
  • \. Subjects must complete the screening process within 4 weeks prior to the admission visit.

You may not qualify if:

  • Previous participation in an research trial involving administration of any of the investigated compounds within one month prior to the current study.
  • The subject is suffering from, or has a clinically significant history of, one or more of the following: impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes mellitus, renal disease, edema, stroke or neurological disorder, rheumatological disorder (including arthritis, joint or tendon abnormalities), pulmonary disorder (including a personal history of asthma, but excluding resolved pediatric asthma), hepatic disorder, has a personal history of seizures, history of psychosis any addictive or other psychiatric disease disorder or a history of any illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose additional risk to the subject by participation in the study.
  • The subject has a known history of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) 1 or 2.

  • A subject that has used one of the forbidden drugs, substances or foods as follows:
  • Any investigational product (THC or/and CBD ingestion or smoking) within one month preceding the study.

  • Exceptions are locally acting medications (eg, topical creams), which are not allowed within 5 days of study drug administration, and the occasional use of acetaminophen (up to 3 g/day) and ibuprofen (up to 1200 mg/day).
  • Consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, Seville oranges, pomelo containing products, within the 14 days prior to Day -1 and then throughout the entire study.
  • Consumption of excessive amounts of alcoholic beverages, defined as \>3 drinks per day (beer, wine, or distilled spirits), or unwilling to comply with the restricted use of alcohol during the study (48 hours prior to admission and throughout the study), who have history of alcoholism.
  • Subject that has any condition that may possibly interfere with drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion (eg, previous surgery on the gastrointestinal tract \[including removal of parts of stomach, bowel, liver, gall bladder, or pancreas\] or stomach banding).

  • +6 more criteria
