Full-Spectrum Cannabis Extract for Chronic Pain and Bone Health Biomarkers in Women (ORION)

Evaluation of Bone Turnover Biomarkers, CB2 and TRPV1 Polymorphisms as Potential Preventive Data in Osteoporosis and Perception of Improvement in Quality of Life in Women With Chronic Pain Treated With Medicinal Cannabis

Chronic pain disproportionately affects women and may coexist with impaired bone health, particularly during midlife and after menopause. The endocannabinoid system is involved in pain modulation and bone homeostasis; however, clinical studies that integrate pain outcomes, bone-related biomarkers, genetic variants, and salivary endocannabinoids remain limited.This randomized, triple-masked, placebo-controlled crossover trial will evaluate the effects of a full-spectrum medicinal cannabis extract with a cannabidiol to tetrahydrocannabinol ratio of 5:1 on chronic pain in women aged 45 to 80 years with chronic pain refractory to conventional treatment. Eighty participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment sequences: full-spectrum cannabis extract followed by matching placebo, or matching placebo followed by full-spectrum cannabis extract. The treatment periods, washout interval, and visit schedule will follow the final approved protocol.The primary outcome is change in chronic pain intensity measured using the Visual Analog Scale. Secondary outcomes include quality of life, sleep quality, functional impact, bone health biomarkers, bone mineral density measured by dualenergy X-ray absorptiometry, salivary endocannabinoids, the association of CB and TRPV genetic variants with treatment response, and adverse events. The study aims to generate evidence on the clinical effects and biological correlates of medicinal cannabis therapy in women with chronic pain.

Detailní popis

This is a randomized, triple-masked, placebo-controlled crossover clinical trial conducted in women aged 45 to 80 years with moderate to severe chronic pain that has persisted for at least 3 months and has not responded adequately to conventional pharmacological or non-pharmacological treatments. Participants will be randomlyallocated in permuted blocks to one of two treatments sequences. Sequence A will receive a full-spectrum medicinal cannabis extract with a cannabidiol to tetrahydrocannabinol ratio of 5:1 during the first treatment period, followed by a protocol-defined washout interval and matching placebo during the second treatment period. Sequence B will receive matching placebo during the first treatment period, followed by the washout interval and the full-spectrum medicinal cannabis extract during the second treatment period. The study product will be administered orally as softgel capsules. The target daily dose is 25 milligrams of cannabidiol and 5 milligrams of tetrahydrocannabinol. Dose titration during the first 2 weeks of each active treatment period will follow the final approved protocol.Participants, care providers, investigators, and outcome assessors will remain masked to treatment assignment as operationally applicable. Randomization will use a computer-generated sequence with permuted blocks of 4 and allocation concealment through opaque, sealed envelopes. The product and matching placebo will be supplied in indistinguishable presentations.Clinical evaluations will include pain intensity, quality of life, functional impact, sleep quality, concomitant medications, adherence, and adverse events. Laboratory assessments will include safety tests, selected bone metabolism biomarkers, inflammatory markers, and oxidative stress biomarkers. Bone mineral density and body composition will be assessed using dualenergy X-ray absorptiometry at protocol-defined baseline and final visits. Genetic analysis will evaluate CB and TRPV variants. Salivary anandamide, 2-arachidonoylglycerol, palmitoylethanolamide, and oleoylethanolamide will be quantified using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry according to the final sample collection schedule.The primary efficacy analysis will compare pain outcomes across cannabis and placebo treatment periods while accounting for the crossover design. Secondary analyses will evaluate changes in patient-reported outcomes and biomarkers, treatment safety, and associations between genetic variants or salivary endocannabinoid profiles and treatment response.
