Examining the Systemic Bioavailability of Cannabidiol and Tetrahydrocannabinol from a Novel Transdermal Delivery System in Healthy Adults: A Single-Arm, Open-Label, Exploratory Study

Abstract Introduction: Transdermal cannabinoids may provide better safety and bioavailability profiles compared with other routes of administration. This single-arm, open-label study investigated a novel topical transdermal delivery system on the pharmacokinetics of cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Methods: Participants were 39.5 ± 7.37 years old and healthy, based on a review by the Medical Director. Blood was collected pre-dose and 10, 20, 30, and 45 min, and 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12 h after
