A growing body of physiological evidence now exists to support a potential role for inhaled cannabis in the medical management of adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), particularly as it may related to improving pulmonary function, alleviating the symptom of breathlessness and improving exercise endurance. The purpose of this randomized double-blind crossover trials is to evaluate the efficacy and physiological mechanism(s) of action of inhaled vaporized cannabis targeted to relief of physical activity-related breathlessness and exercise endurance in symptomatic patients with severe-to-very severe COPD.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Changes in intensity ratings of perceived breathlessness at isotime during cycle exercise testing. | Patients will be required to rate the intensity of their breathlessness using Borg's modified 0-10 category ratio scale every 2-minutes during cycle exercise testing. | Participants will be followed until all study visits are complete, an expected average of 4 weeks | |
Primary | Changes in cycle exercise endurance time. | Exercise endurance time will be defined as the duration of loaded pedaling during the constant-load cycle exercise testing performed at 75% of peak incremental power output. | Participants will be followed until all study visits are complete, an expected average of 4 weeks | |
Secondary | Changes in Spirometry | Spirometry will be performed before and 5-min after treatment administration | Participants will be followed until all study visits are complete, an expected average of 4 weeks | |
Secondary | Changes in Impulse oscillometry | Impulse oscillometry will be performed before and 10-min after treatment administration | Participants will be followed until all study visits are complete, an expected average of 4 weeks | |
Secondary | Changes in Physiological responses during exercise. | Gas exchange, cardiovascular and breathing pattern variables will be collected breath-by-breath and averaged in 30-sec epochs during incremental and constant-load cycle exercise tests. | Participants will be followed until all study visits are complete, an expected average of 4 weeks | |
Secondary | Plasma cannabinoid levels. | Venous blood samples for the determination of circulating levels of cannabinoids will be collected before and 2-, 30-, 75-, and 180-min after vaporization | Participants will be followed until all study visits are complete, an expected average of 4 weeks | |
Secondary | Psychoactive effects. | Psychoactive effects of cannabis will be evaluated during each treatment visit using 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS). Psychoactive effects will be evaluated before and 45-min after treatment administration. | Participants will be followed until all study visits are complete, an expected average of 4 weeks | |
Secondary | Mood effects. | Mood effects of cannabis will be evaluated during each treatment visit using 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS). Mood effects will be evaluated before and 45-min after treatment administration. | Participants will be followed until all study visits are complete, an expected average of 4 weeks | |
Secondary | Cognitive effects. | Cognitive effects will be measured during each treatment visit using the mini-mental state exam. The mini-mental state exam will be administered before and 45-min after treatment administration | Participants will be followed until all study visits are complete, an expected average of 4 weeks |
