CBD for Breast Cancer Primary Tumors

This study is testing whether CBD Oral (cannabidiol, a compound from the cannabis plant) can affect breast cancer primary tumors. Researchers want to see if CBD Oral, given at 175mg or 350mg twice daily, can reduce cancer cell growth (proliferation) and increase cancer cell death (apoptosis) before surgery. You could be eligible if you are an adult woman (18 or older) with newly diagnosed invasive breast cancer (stages I, II, or III) and a specific measure of cell growth (Ki67 proliferation rate) of 10% or higher. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll up to 84 patients.

Study design
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, partially blinded study. Up to 84 patients will be randomly assigned to receive either CBD Oral or a placebo (an inactive substance).
What's involved
You would take CBD Oral or a placebo twice daily for 5 to 56 days before your scheduled surgery.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The study will measure the effects of CBD on cell proliferation and apoptosis at 2 months.

Self declared ability and capacity to comply with the study and follow-up procedures. 8. Subjects must be scheduled for surgery no less than 5 days from the planned start of day 1 and no more than 56 days from the planned start of day 1.
  • CBD and cell proliferation2 months

    To determine whether oral administration of cannabidiol (CBD) causes biological changes related to cell proliferation (using Ki67 expression as a marker) in primary tumors of breast cancer patients.

  • CBD and apoptosis2 months

    To determine whether oral administration of cannabidiol (CBD) causes biological changes related to apoptosis (using Ki67 expression as a marker) in primary tumors of breast cancer patients.
