Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: • To investigate the inhibition of primary CNS effects of a THC challenge by CB1 receptor antagonist compared to placebo in healthy occasional users of cannabis;Secondary Objective: • To investigate the inhibition of secondary CNS effects of a THC challenge by CB1 receptor antagonist compared to placebo in healthy occasional users of cannabis • To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of ANEB-001, THC, 11-OH-THC and 11-nor-9 carboxy-THC in plasma • To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of ANEB-001 and potential metabolites in urine (Part B cohort 3 to 6 and Part C only) • To assess safety and tolerability of ANEB-001 in healthy occasional users of cannabis Part C only: •To evaluate the CNS effects of a high-dose THC challenge administered simultaneously with the CB1 receptor antagonist ANEB-001 relative to baseline in healthy occasional users of cannabis.;Primary end point(s): • Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) “Feeling High” according to modified Bowdle psychedelic scale (mm) • VAS “Alertness” according to Bond and Lader (mm) • Body sway: o antero-posterior sway (mm); • Heart rate (bpm). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: for VAS and Body sway ; pre dose till 8 hrs post dose (hourly) HR ; day -1 - FU (7-14 days after dosing)
