Filter by:EMERALD OLE trial is an open-label extension of the EMERALD trial. Long term tolerability and safety of the MediCabilis CBD oil has not been extensively studied. EMERALD OLE aims to establish data on the prolonged used of the study drug product. All participants who completed the EMERALD trial will be offered to enter EMERALD OLE. Participants will be taking the active drug MediCabilis CBD oil for 6 months.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a phytocannabinoid that is one of 113 identified cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. It is derived from the hemp plant, and may treat conditions like pain, insomnia, and anxiety. CBD is a critical component of medical marijuana and does not cause the "high" typically associated with cannabis. According to the World Health Organization, CBD has shown no evidence of abuse or dependence potential. However, to the investigator's knowledge, there have not been many acute clinical studies to characterize the effects of CBD in the brain. Despite the rapid influx in CBD readily available to the public, very little is known about such effects. Some studies have shown alterations in resting state connectivity, while others have described changes in specific regions of the brain, or in networks associated with various cognitive functions. For example, CBD has been shown to increase fronto-striatal connectivity and reduce mediotemporal-prefrontal connectivity, suggesting that CBD may affect brain regions involved in salience processing. Unfortunately, few studies have examined CBD in isolation. Additionally, several studies have suggested that CBD may have a neuroprotective effect when it comes to individuals at high risk for psychiatric conditions. In this study, the investigators propose an acute administration, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in which 100% THC-free CBD will be compared to placebo (https://foliumbiosciences.com/). To the investigator's knowledge, the acute effects of this specific product have not been tested. Specifically, the investigators will examine: 1) the neurometabolic and neurophysiological effects of CBD compared to placebo and 2) the behavioral effects of CBD on measures of working memory and response inhibition. Participants will be recruited to take encapsulated, THC-free CBD provided by Folium Biosciences, in which they will have a pre- and post-ingestion scan. Each participant will have a 72-hour washout period after which they will be asked to come back for a placebo scan (however, the order will be counterbalanced so that equal numbers of participants will receive placebo/supplement and supplement/placebo). Individuals will be randomized into the supplementation group, as well as the order.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is another cannabis plant derivative for which, like THC, there has been extensive research. Unlike THC however, CBD is non-intoxicating and non-psychedelic. CBD has antipsychotic effects. Logically, if CBD opposes THC effects, it may be a potential antipsychotic treatment. The purpose of this pilot research is to show target engagement of the hippocampus with the study drug (CBD versus placebo) in patients who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar disorder with psychosis compared to healthy controls.
This research study is investigating use of a single dose of cannabidiol (CBD) to help manage anticipatory anxiety in participants with advanced breast cancer poised to undergo computed tomography (CT) or positron emission tomography (PET) to assess tumor burden. The name of the study drug(s) are: - Cannabidiol (CBD)
