Tetra Bio-Pharma Clinical Study on Cannabis Oil Capsules for Patients Suffering from Chronic Pain should be completed by Fall 2018 - Seite 2

"We are performing this Phase 2 clinical trial to obtain safety and efficacy data to help drive the sales of encapsulated cannabis oil products for the treatment of chronic pain," added Dr. Guy Chamberland. "We expect chronic pain patients to use cannabis oils, but many of these patients will also be taking opioids or other prescription medications. The capability of different doses and ratios of medical cannabis oil to change the amount and type of concomitant medications, such as opioids, used for pain, and the need for rescue pain medication to control chronic non-cancer and cancer pain is evaluated. The use of measures that quantify different pain drug regimens used by the patients will help us understand the potential of cannabis oils to be used for opioid sparing. The trial should be completed by fall 2018."
