Summary

"This trial is looking at how a new capsule form of CBD compares to the already approved Epidyolex in terms of how the body processes it. The study will give participants both products in different conditions

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy adult volunteers interested in helping to study the effects of a new form of cannabidiol (CBD). Participants should be willing to take CBD under different eating conditions. Specific eligibility details are not provided, but typically include age range and health status requirements.
What is being tested?
The study is testing how a new capsule form of CBD called CBD-NE compares with Epidyolex, an FDA-approved oil-based CBD product. The test measures how the body absorbs each form when participants have eaten (fed) or haven't eaten (fasted), using a crossover design where everyone gets both treatments at different times.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, common ones associated with CBD may include tiredness, diarrhea, changes in appetite/weight, and possibly some liver issues. Since this trial involves healthy volunteers, monitoring for any adverse reactions will be part of the safety assessment.
