Oral Bioequivalence Study of Cannabidiol (CBD) 600 mg Tablets in healthy volunteers under fasting study.
- Conditions
- Healthy adult male and female volunteers (18–45 years), with BMI 18.5–30.0 kg/m², free from significant medical conditions as confirmed by clinical evaluation and laboratory tests.
- Registration Number
- CTRI/2025/04/085828
- Lead Sponsor
- Dhee Lifesciences Pvt. Ltd.
- Brief Summary
This is a Phase I, open-label, randomized, single-dose, two-treatment, two-period, two-sequence crossover study designed to compare the rate and extent of absorption of Encapsulated Nano-Cannabidiol Test with that of Epidiolex oral solution Reference in healthy adult volunteers under fasting conditions.
Eligible subjects will be randomized to one of two treatment sequences TR or RT and will receive a single dose of either the Test or Reference product in each study period. Each dosing period will be separated by a washout interval of at least 7 calendar days, which is considered sufficient based on the known pharmacokinetics of cannabidiol to ensure complete elimination of the drug from the body prior to the next administration.
The study will be conducted under controlled conditions in a clinical research facility. Standardized meals and fluid intake will be provided according to the protocol schedule. Subjects will be confined at the facility from at least 10 hours prior to dosing until after the 24-hour post-dose blood sample collection in each period. Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be collected at pre-defined time points up to 72 hours post-dose in each period.
Plasma concentrations of cannabidiol will be determined using a validated bioanalytical method, and pharmacokinetic parameters including Cmax, Tmax, AUC0–t, AUC0–inf, t1/2, and Kel will be calculated using non-compartmental analysis. The primary endpoints for bioequivalence evaluation will be Cmax, AUC0–t, and AUC0–inf. The Test product will be considered bioequivalent to the Reference product if the 90% confidence intervals for the geometric mean ratios Test/Reference for these parameters fall within the regulatory bioequivalence limits of 80.00% to 125.00%.
Safety will be monitored throughout the study through the assessment of adverse events AEs, clinical laboratory evaluations, vital signs, physical examinations, and 12-lead ECGs. All study procedures will be conducted in accordance with the principles of Good Clinical Practice GCP, the Declaration of Helsinki, and applicable regulatory guidelines.
