Summary
This trial tests a cannabinoid-based medication to see if it helps people with Tourette Syndrome.
Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-65 with Tourette Syndrome, having moderate to severe tics and a willingness to follow study procedures. Participants must have stable medication doses for at least 6 weeks prior and agree to maintain them during the trial. Women must not be pregnant or breastfeeding and use reliable contraception; men should use condoms.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing SCI-110, a cannabinoid-based medicine, against a placebo to see if it's effective, safe, and tolerable for treating Tourette Syndrome symptoms. Participants will randomly receive either SCI-110 or an inactive substance (placebo).
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects of SCI-110 may include dizziness, confusion, sedation or somnolence due to its cannabinoid content. Since it's cannabis-based, there might also be risks similar to those associated with cannabis use.
