Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E. General Information on the Trial
    E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    This study will look at the differential effects of variations in cannabis chemovars on driving ability and cognition
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Effects of cannabis on driving and cognition
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Not possible to specify
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of this study is to test whether variations in the CBD content of vaporised cannabis alter the impairing effects of THC on driving ability. To test this, we will compare the effects of three cannabis chemovars (A: High THC / Low CBD (Bedrocan); B: High THC / High CBD (Bedrocan/Bedrolite); C: High CBD / Low THC (Bedrolite) and placebo in 20 occasional cannabis users. The primary outcome measure is standard deviation of lateral position (SDLP; i.e. lane weaving), a measure of driving performance which is highly sensitive to the effects of drugs and alcohol.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    This study will also seek to test whether variations in the CBD content of vaporised cannabis alter the effects THC on cognitive task performance and subjective drug effects (e.g. stoned, sedated). This study will also look at plasma concentrations of THC, CBD and their metabolites to assess whether CBD modulates THC pharmacokinetics.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    • Occasional cannabis users (>10 lifetime exposures and <2x/week in the last 12 months)
    • Age between 20-50
    • Good physical health as determined by medical examination and laboratory analysis
    • Absence of any major medical, endocrine and neurological condition
    • Normal weight, body mass index (weight/height2) between 20 and 28 kg/m2
    • In possession of a valid driver license with at least 2 years driving experience (having driven > 3000 km/yr)
    • Written Informed Consent
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    • History of drug abuse (other than the use of cannabis) or addiction (determined by the medical questionnaire, drug questionnaire and medical examination)
    • Pregnancy or lactation (pregnancy test, if needed)
    • Hypertension (diastolic> 90; systolic> 140)
    • Current or history of psychiatric disorder (determined by the medical questionnaire and medical examination)
    • Liver dysfunction
    • Use of medications that may impact upon driving ability (e.g. mood stabilisers, sedatives)
    • Any serious prior adverse response to cannabis
    • History of cardiac dysfunctions (e.g. arrhythmia, ischemic heart disease)
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    1: Driving performance, as assessed by standard deviation of lateral position (SDLP)
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    On-road driving performance will be assessed in each experimental session at 0.75 h and 4 h after drug administration.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    1) Additional measures of driving performance, including:
    a) Time out of lane (TOL)
    b) Mean speed
    c) Standard deviation of speed

    2) Performance on the Digit Symbol Substitution Task (DSST), Divided Attention Task (DAT); Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task (PASAT) and Tower of London task (TOL)

    3) Subjective ratings of drug effects and confidence in driving ability

    4) Plasma concentrations of THC, 11-OH-THC, THCCOOH and CBD
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    1) On-road driving performance will be assessed in each experimental session at 0.75 h and 4 h after drug administration.

    2) Performance on the DSST, DAT and PASAT will be assessed at baseline and at 0.25 h and 3.5 h after drug administration. TOL task performance will be assessed at 2.33 h.

    3) Subjective drug effects and confidence in driving ability will be assessed at baseline and at 0.25 h, 0.75 h, 2.33 h, 3.5 h and 5.5 h after drug administration.

    4) Plasma samples will be taken as baseline and at 0.1 h, 0.5 h, 2.25 h, 3.5 h and 5.5 h.
