Dronabinol Opioid Sparing Evaluation (DOSE) Trial

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will be a 12-week, open-label trial that is designed to evaluate the Opioid-Sparing effect of Dronabinol at ranging doses when coadministered with the opioid analgesics that are currently being prescribed to patients for their chronic pain condition. The purpose of this trial will be to assess the effectiveness of Dronabinol when combined with opioid analgesics to relieve pain at lower opioid doses and to evaluate any reduction of opioid-related side effects. Participants will take the study-drug, Dronabinol, along with their regular prescribed opioids and the results will be evaluated and analyzed according to defined endpoints.

Clinical Trial Description

Week one of the study is a Baseline Period during which time, baseline data related to opioid dose and frequency, mood, sleep, bowel movements, and pain intensity will be collected. Participants will receive no Dronabinol during week one and will continue to take their stabilized dose of regular prescribed opioids, both baseline and rescue.

Weeks two through four is the Titration Period, during which time study participants will titrate the Dronabinol dose up to a daily dose of 20 mg of Dronabinol per day, according to a prearranged titration table. Participants will continue to take their stabilized dose of regular prescribed opioids, both baseline and rescue. Participants will be encouraged to maintain the 20mg daily total dose of Dronabinol. Participants may also reduce their dose of Dronabinol at any time (if they experience severe adverse effects) to a minimum daily dose of Dronabinol of 10mg per day. Participants who cannot tolerate at least a minimum daily dose of 10mg of Dronabinol per day will be discontinued from the study.

Weeks five through twelve is the Opioid-Sparing Period, during which time participants will be encouraged to maintain the stabilized dose of Dronabinol that they "found" during the Study-Drug Dose Finding Period. Study Participants will continue to take their regular prescribed opioids, but will be encouraged to reduce their opioid dose and/or opioid dose frequency at any time during the remainder of the study should they experience a reduction in pain and/or an improvement in opioid-related side effects. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
