Acute Cannabinoid Intoxication Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Single Oral Doses of CB1 Antagonist ANEB-001 in Healthy Occasional Cannabis Users in a THC Challenge Test.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether ANEB-001 effectively penetrates the brain and inhibits the psychotropic effects of Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive constituent of cannabis. This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study is designed as a proof-of-pharmacology and dose finding study for the antagonistic effect of ANEB-001 during a THC challenge. Results of this study will inform the future potential use of ANEB-001 as an emergency treatment for acute cannabinoid intoxication.
This study will evaluate whether ANEB-001 effectively inhibits the psychotropic effects of Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). All cohorts in part A and B of the study will be randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled. Randomization is deemed appropriate to avoid selection bias for active compound or placebo treatment. A double-blind and placebo-controlled design is deemed appropriate because of the safety, tolerability and pharmacodynamic assessments that will be performed in this study. By double-blinding the study, bias arising from study subject's or investigator's knowledge about treatment assignment is avoided. Part C does not include a placebo group and will therefore not be blinded. ;
