Clinical studies

- Potential for chronic liver injury

- Effect on glomerular filtration rate

- Pregnancy outcome study

- QT interval prolongation trial at the maximum tolerable dose

Drug-drug interaction trials in healthy volunteers

CBD effect on the pharmacokinetics of:

- caffeine

- sensitive CYP2B6

cytochrome P450

and CYP2C9 substrate

- sensitive UGP1A9

UDP-glucuronosyltransferase

and UGTB7 substrate

Strong CYP3A inhibitor effects on pharmacokinetics of CBD

Strong 2C9 inhibitor effects on pharmacokinetics of CBD

Cannabidiol (CBD) abuse potential

TYPE OF STUDY RESULTS
Receptor binding studies

- cannabinoid receptors no significant affinity

- opioid receptors no significant affinity

Non-clinical studies evaluating general behaviour (similarity to THC)

- tetrad test no meaningful abuse related signal

- drug discrimination study no meaningful abuse related signal

- self-administration study no meaningful abuse related signal

Clinical studies evaluating efficacy and safety in patients with LGS

Lennox-Gastaut syndrome

or DS

Dravet syndrome


- Phase I clinical study no euphoria or other abuse-related signals

- Phase II/III studies could not be evaluated

concomitant use of other seizure drugs and limited capacity of patients


Phase I human abuse potential (HAP) study (N=40, with 35 completers)

randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial

subjects: healthy recreational poly-drug users

positive control: THC (10, 30 mg), alprazolam (2 mg)

negative control: placebo

mean DRUG LIKING SCORE

lower therapeutic dose: 750 mg/day not significantly different

higher therapeutic dose: 1500 mg/day significantly different (very small increase)

supra-therapeutic dose: 4500 mg/day significantly different (very small increase)

Human physical dependence study following chronic administration

3 days after discontinuation no withdrawal signs and symptoms
