Reefer Sanity: IRB Review That Won’t Vaporize Cannabis Protocols

With more widespread use of cannabis, how can data from well-designed clinical research trials better characterize its safety and efficacy as a medicine?

Cannabis’ complicated legal history, ongoing safety concerns, and unique study design elements can present challenges for institutional review boards (IRBs) reviewing these trials. Despite this, IRBs can also play a role in improving the quality of cannabis research

Join this webinar for guidance on developing and reviewing cannabis studies – with the goal of protecting human subjects while allowing this important research field to progress.

Learning Objectives

Following this webinar, attendees will be able to:

  • Describe essential elements of study design needed to generate reliable, reproducible, and generalizable data
  • Identify elements of safety monitoring needed to protect research subjects and cannabis users in general, including assessment of addiction potential
  • Apply regulatory criteria to determine review pathway (expedited or full convened board) and approvability
