Trial Outcomes & Findings for Individual Differences in Drug Response (NCT NCT03809546)

NCT ID: NCT03809546

Last Updated: 2024-07-03

Results Overview

The POMS measures individuals' mood states. This is a validated scale to measure positive and negative mood states. The POMS contains 30 items and assess six identified mood factors: Tension-Anxiety, Depression-Ejection, Anger - Hostility, Vigor-Activity, Fatigue-Inertia, and Confusion-Bewilderment. Scoring of this instrument provides a global score of 0 to 120 or individual domain scores. Subscale scores range from 0-20. Lower scores indicate better mood state. The POMS brief form is a simple self-rating instrument.

Placebo
dextrose: We are administering dextrose to health volunteers for our placebo group
7.5 mg THC
Dronabinol: THC (Marinol® \[dronabinol\]; Solvay Pharmaceuticals) will be orally administered in doses of 7.5 mg and 15 mg, in opaque capsules with dextrose filler. Placebo capsules contain only dextrose. These doses of THC are known to produce performance impairments as well as subjective intoxication with little to no adverse reactions in experienced occasional, but non-daily cannabis users (Ménétrey et al., 2005; Issa et al. 2016).
