Pharmacokinetic assessment profile of THC formulations
Time frame: 48 hours with a replicate 7 days after the first dose in healthy subjects and the same time but with successive doses in post-chemotherapy patients
Pharmacokinetics of THC by Assessment of Area Under the Curve From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC(0-inf)) \[ Time Frame: 0 hours (pre-dose), as well as at 0.12, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 hours post-dose \]
Pharmacodynamic assessment profile of THC formulations: BPI
Time frame: Post-chemotherapy patients for at least 20 days with a daily report
Brief pain inventory (BPI); The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) rapidly assesses the severity of pain and its impact on functioning. The questions ask participants to rate their pain in the prior 24-hours OR prior 7-day on a 0 to 10 Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), where "0" indicates "No pain" and "10" indicates "Pain as bad as you can imagine."
Pharmacodynamic assessment profile of THC formulations: DEQ
Time frame: 48 hours with a replicate of 7 days after the first dose in healthy subjects and on the other hand post-chemotherapy patients for at least 20 days with a daily report
Drug Effects Questionnaire (DEQ);is used in studies of acute subjective response (SR) to a variety of substances. The DEQ consists of 11 questions: "Feel Drug", "Feel High", "Like Drug", and "Want More", "dislike the sensation", "any sensations", "feel a head rush", "like drug effect", "dislike any effects". To calculate the DEQ- 'Good Drug Effects'. Each question was measured on a scale with a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 100. 100 represents the highest score for that subjective state, and the higher the score, the worse the outcome
No significant nausea in terms of the proportion of subjects with no significant nausea
Time frame: Post-chemotherapy patients for at least 20 days with a daily report
To investigate THC oral formulations in terms of the proportion of patients with no significant nausea (none or mild nausea) following initiation of oral formulations of THC (dronabinol) in post-chemotherapy patients
