What this study is testing

What is Cannabidiol - fsCBD?

Cannabidiol - fsCBD is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for cannabis use disorder.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This study is a placebo-controlled randomized trial comparing the effects of hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) with and without Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), relative to placebo, on reducing cannabis use and cannabis use disorder (CUD) symptoms in adult treatment seeking cannabis concentrate users with CUD. Participants enroll in the study for 8 weeks (with telehealth follow-ups at 12 and 16 weeks) and are randomized to either full spectrum CBD, broad spectrum CBD, or placebo.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance.
