Tilray’s Clinical Trial the First Ever Human Study Testing Cannabis’ Efficiency in Treating TIPN

Premium medical cannabis producer, Tilray has recently involved itself in a clinical trial which is set to test the effects of cannabis on treating breast cancer reports Clinical Trials Arena. As per the claims made, the study will be the first ever human testing of its kind, that looks at patients suffering from taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy (TIPN).

Taxane-derived agents are popularly found in chemotherapy drugs used for treating cancer patients.

The Vice President of Tilray’s Global Patient Research and Access, Philippe Lucas has since shared that Tilray is focused on advancing itself within cannabis research, adding that the firm wishes to contribute to the overall understanding of cannabis benefits.

The method used here is simply dividing the sample into two groups, one receiving a product containing a combination of CBD and THC, while the other will be given a placebo. Haney has since expressed enthusiasm in being part of the cannabis research, noting that:
