Trial Outcomes & Findings for Acute Effects of Cannabis on Cognition and Mobility in Older HIV-infected and HIV-Un-infected Women (NCT NCT03633721)

NCT ID: NCT03633721

Last Updated: 2025-10-15

Results Overview

Mobility Gait Speed will be tested using the timed gait speed test. Gait speed is measured and reported under normal walking and attention demanding measures. Change in mobility as a function of timed gait speed from before cannabis, or placebo use, to after cannabis, or placebo, use at the 15 minute and 60 minute timepoints will be assessed. The baseline measurement, the mean of the two timepoint measurements, changes from the baselines, and change from the baseline to mean of 15 \& 60 minutes for Cannabis minus that for Placebo, will be reported in meters/second (m/s).

HIV Sero Positive: Cannabis 7% delta9-THC Cigarettes First, Then Placebo 0% THC Cigarettes
Drug: Cannabis 7% delta9-THC cigarettes will be smoked by 'light the cigarette' (30 sec), 'get ready' (5 sec), 'inhale' (5 sec), 'hold smoke in lungs' (10 sec) and 'exhale.' Participants will smoke 3 puffs in this manner, with a 40-sec interval between each puff. Placebo 0% THC cigarettes will be administered to HIV positive women. Participants will be instructed to 'light the cigarette' (30 sec), 'get ready' (5 sec), 'inhale' (5 sec), 'hold smoke in lungs' (10 sec) and 'exhale.'

Change in balance from baseline will be tested using the Functional Reach test. Functional reach measures the distance the subject can reach in front of them from a standing position without losing balance. Change in balance from before cannabis, or placebo, use to after cannabis, or placebo, use at the 15 minute and 60 minute timepoints will be assessed. The baseline measurement, the mean of the two timepoint measurements, changes from the baselines, and change from the baseline to mean of 15 \& 60 minutes for Cannabis minus that for Placebo, will be reported in centimeters (cm).

Cognition will be tested using the number of correct suppressions on the Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART). Participants were asked to respond to a series of digits on a computer screen by pressing a key as quickly as possible for every digit except "3". The percentage of correct suppressions is quantified. Change in the percentage of mean correct suppressions before cannabis (or placebo) use to after cannabis (or placebo) at the 15 minute and 60 minute timepoints will be assessed. The baseline measurement, the mean percentage of the two timepoint measurements, the mean percentage changes from baseline values, and change from the baseline to mean of 15 \& 60 minutes for Cannabis minus that for Placebo, will be reported.
