Tilray to supply CBD for clinical trials on alcohol use and post-traumatic stress disorders
's CBD-derived drug, Epidiolex. Marmar thinks CBD, if proven to be effective, could treat a broad range of psychological conditions, similar to how antibiotics treat all kinds of bacterial infections.
The trials will test whether CBD is safe and effective. NYU will start recruiting patients this summer — 40 for the eight-week alcohol study and 48 for the other study, which will take six weeks and probe alcohol use and PTSD. This is Tilray's second partnership with a U.S. academic institution to study cannabis. Tilray announced in the fall it will work with the University of California, San Diego to study whether cannabis can treat essential tremor, a neurological disorder that causes involuntary shaking.
"Ultimately, there's so much interest in CBD as a treatment modality, but there's simply not a lot of clinical research," he said, adding that Tilray wants to continue partnering with major research institutions like NYU to fill those knowledge gaps.
