Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

  • - Unable to refrain from the use of prescription or non-prescription drugs, including vitamins, herbal and dietary supplements within 7 days (or 14 days if the drug is a potential enzyme inducer) or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study medication, unless in the opinion of the Investigator and OWC Medical Monitor the medication will not interfere with the study procedures or compromise subject safety.
  • - History of sensitivity to any of the study medications, or components thereof or a history of drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator or OWC Medical Monitor, contraindicates their participation.
  • - Pregnant females as determined by positive urine human chorionic gonadotropin test at screening or prior to dosing.

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT02976779
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

The study is divided into 2 stages. Healthy subjects will be consented to participate in the study. Part I is designed to evaluate the single dose safety assessment of single application of MGC cream in 26 healthy volunteers (intact skin) for up to 24 consecutive hours under admission conditions in the clinical site. In this stage, the subjects will be divided into 3 application doses. The following procedures will be performed:

  • - Time point 0- IV line, BP, Heart Rate, Blood testing (chemistry, blood count, Cannabinoids) and clinician evaluation of cannabis related psychological aspect (such as evaluation the cannabis abuse screening test).
  • - Time point 6 Hours- BP, Heart Rate Blood testing (chemistry, blood count, Cannabinoids) - Time point 12- BP, Heart Rate, Blood testing (chemistry, blood count, Cannabinoids) - Time point 24- BP, Heart Rate, Blood testing (chemistry, blood count, Cannabinoids) and and clinician evaluation of cannabis related psychological aspect (such as evaluation the cannabis abuse screening test).
Part II that will be followed the 24 hours (of part I) is designed to evaluate the repeated applications safety of MGC cream in healthy volunteers for up to 6 weeks, both in the clinic and by subjects at home. 20 healthy subjects that will be treated twice daily with:
  • - Maximal dose of 30 mg CBD : 30 mg THC, 1:1 ratio - Placebo Control - 0 mg CBD : 0 mg THC, 1:1 ratio (vehicle) This stage will be initiated at least 96 hour after completion part I of the study (washout period) .
The placebo will be applied on one arm and the control on the second arm. Both, subject and investigator will be blinded as to the product/placebo allocation. Application at home will be performed twice a day. Subjects will be asked to attend the clinic on day 0 of the part II treatment, once a week during the 6 weeks of daily application and 2 weeks post application. In each visit the following evaluations will be performed: BP, Heart Rate, Blood testing (chemistry, blood count, Cannabinoids) and clinician of cannabis related psychological aspect (such as evaluation the cannabis abuse screening test).
