Summary

Cannabidiol (CBD), derived from the Cannabis sativa plant, is being investigated for its potential health benefit without the psychoactive properties and adverse reactions that arise from the use of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC). Few studies have characterized the pharmacokinetic (PK) effects and safety of oral CBD administration. Epidiolex (Epidyolex), an oil form of CBD, is the only marketed monotherapy approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada. Delivery of a CBD in a powder/capsule form may provide a more efficient method for consumers. The goal of this study is to characterize the PK profile of the test product, CBD-NE (a capsule formulation) compared to Epidyolex under both fasted and fed conditions. Each participant will receive a dose of each product under both fed and fasted conditions in a crossover design.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy adult volunteers interested in helping to study the effects of a new form of cannabidiol (CBD). Participants should be willing to take CBD under different eating conditions. Specific eligibility details are not provided, but typically include age range and health status requirements.
What is being tested?
The study is testing how a new capsule form of CBD called CBD-NE compares with Epidyolex, an FDA-approved oil-based CBD product. The test measures how the body absorbs each form when participants have eaten (fed) or haven't eaten (fasted), using a crossover design where everyone gets both treatments at different times.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, common ones associated with CBD may include tiredness, diarrhea, changes in appetite/weight, and possibly some liver issues. Since this trial involves healthy volunteers, monitoring for any adverse reactions will be part of the safety assessment.
