What this study is testing

What is Full-spectrum CBD oil 100 mg/mL?

Full-spectrum CBD oil 100 mg/mL is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for major depressive disorder (mdd).

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
Major depressive disorder is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, and a substantial proportion of patients do not achieve adequate improvement with conventional antidepressant treatments. Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating cannabinoid derived from Cannabis sativa, has shown potential anxiolytic, anti-inflammatory, and neurobiological effects that may be relevant for depressive disorders.
  • 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. You may not know which one you got.
