简要总结
A pilot study designed to reveal the effects of Marinol / dronabinol, a CB 1 agonist.
Primary end point: To estimate weight gain and EDI scores in patients receiving Marinol compared to placebo
Secondary end points: Motor and inner restlessness and hormonal changes during the treatment.
详细描述
The goals of this study are to reveal through a pilot trial if treatment of patients with severe chronic AN with Marinol® (dronabinol, a CB1 agonist) has significant effect on:
- Weight
- Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) scale
- Motor and inner restlessness (estimated by accelerometry)
- Endocrine parameters (see below, paragraph 4.4) This study is a randomized, double blinded, placebo controlled cross over study. 24 patients with chronic AN meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomized either to receive Marinol® or placebo. After four weeks the two groups will undergo a wash-out period and after that will receive the opposite therapeutic regime for another four weeks.
