Parkinson Disease

Mixed oil cannabis preparation consisting of 3 differing formulations of ∆-9THC and CBD is clinically available in Canada as CanniMed®. The 3 differing formulations of CanniMed® oils contain varying proportions of ∆-9THC and CBD in the following ratios: 18:0; 10:10; 1:20.
All CanniMed® oil formulations consist of cannabinoids extracted from dried cannabis, and diluted in olive oil.

Cannabis Oil for Pain in Parkinson's Disease

A Phase II, Randomized, Open-label, Double-blind, Two-center Study to Evaluate the Tolerability, Safety and Dose-finding of Oil Cannabis Preparation for Pain in Parkinson's Disease

MTD will be defined as the dose of each CanniMed® preparation for which the subject was able to be on for a minimum of 1 week, without the occurrence of an AE or suspected AE, with the severity grading of 2 or higher (CTCAE v.4.0)

Determine the incidence and severity of adverse events by direct patient questioning, physical examination and ancillary testing as per protocol

KPPS is a validated, disease-specific scale with seven domains (different types of pain) including 14 items, each item scored by severity (0-3) multiplied by frequency (0-4) with a total possible score range from 0 to 168.

The score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity.

The score assesses the motor signs of PD and ranges between 0-137.

The scale is divided in 2 parts. Part 2A is administered by the rater (one question) and focuses on time spent with off-dystonia. Part 2B is a component of the Patient Questionnaire that covers three questions on the impact of painful off-dystonia on experiences of daily living. The score ranges between 0-16.

The Clinical Global Impression - Severity scale (CGI-S) is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the patient's illness at the time of assessment, relative to the clinician's past experience with patients who have the same diagnosis. The Clinical Global Impression - Improvement scale (CGI-I) is a 7 point scale that requires the clinician to assess how much the patient's illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the intervention.

The ESS is a self-administered questionnaire with 8 questions. Respondents are asked to rate, on a 4-point scale (0-3), their usual chances of dozing off or falling asleep while engaged in eight different activities. The ESS score (the sum of 8 item scores, 0-3) can range from 0 to 24.

This is an interventional, phase II, randomized, open-label, double-blind, two-centre study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and dose-finding of Cannabis oil preparation for pain in Parkinson's disease.
Mixed oil cannabis preparation consisting of 3 differing formulations of ∆-9THC and CBD is clinically available in Canada as CanniMed®. The 3 differing formulations of CanniMed® oils contain varying proportions of ∆-9THC and CBD in the following ratios: 18:0; 10:10; 1:20. A total of 15 patients will be block randomized to one of the three groups. Each patient will receive one formulation of CanniMed® Oil only, with 5 patients per group.

This will be a double-blind study. The different cannabis oil formulations have the same colour, taste and smell. Study investigators will be blind to the dose/formulation of cannabis oil. Unblinding will only be performed in the event of a Serious AE. The site PI will maintain a randomization list kept in a locked secure 24h a day accessible location for emergency unblinding.
