Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Arm 1: ACNV201: 2.5 mg: 2.5 mg THC:CBD; one capsule administered orally with cross-over to oil comparator
Arm 2: ACNV202: 10 mg: 10 mg THC:CBD; one capsule administered orally with cross-over to oil comparator
There will be a washout period of 14 days between treatment periods.
Subjects will receive a standardised meal prior to drug administration. This will be the FDA recommended high fat breakfast, i.e. 2 rashers of bacon, 2 eggs fried in butter, 2 hashbrowns, 2 slices of white taste with butter and 240 mL of whole fat milk. An equivalent vegetarian/vegan breakfast may be used in place of the standard high fat breakfast, provided that the breakfast is identical in terms of fat content and calories.
Dosing will be administered under supervision at the site.

Summary
Brief summary
This Phase I study will be the first evaluation of the pharmacokinetics of the THC/CBD products from AusCann Group Holdings Ltd, specifically their 2.5 mg:2.5 mg and 10 mg: 10 mg capsule presentations, when administered to healthy volunteers. The pharmacokinetic data will aid clinical prescribing decisions for use under the existing regulatory pathways for medicinal cannabis, namely the Authorised Prescriber and Special Access Scheme and future clinical trials.
