Abstract:BACKGROUND & AIMS: The marijuana plant Cannabis sativa has been reported to produce beneficial effects for patients with炎症性肠病,但这尚未在对照试验中进行调查。我们进行了前瞻性TRial to determine whether cannabis can induce remission in patients with Crohns disease.
METHODS: We studied 21 patients (mean age, 40± 14 y; 13 men) with Crohns Disease Activity Index (CDAI) scores greater than 200 who did not respond to therapy with steroids, immunomodulators, or抗肿瘤坏死因子-α药物。将患者随机分配给每天两次的大麻,其形式为含有115mg的Δ9-四氢大麻酚(THC)或安慰剂,或安慰剂,其中含有大麻花,从中提取了THC。在治疗的8周和2周内评估了疾病活动和实验室测试。
结果: 完全缓解(CDAI分数,<150)是由11个受试者中的5个(45%)(45%)和10%(10%)(10%)(10%)获得的。在11 s中的10个中观察到临床反应(CDAI得分降低> 100)大麻组的Ubjects(90%;从330±105到152±109),安慰剂组10中的4个(40%;从373±94到306±143; p = .028)。大麻组中的三名患者从类固醇依赖性中断奶。 Subjects receiving cannabis reported improved appetite and sleep, with no significant side effects.
CONCLUSIONS: Although the primary end point of the study (induction of remission) was not achieved, a short course (8 weeks) of THC-rich cannabis produced significant clinical, steroid-free benefits to 10 of 11 patients with active Crohns与安慰剂相比,疾病没有副作用。有必要以较大的患者群体和非吸烟方式进行进一步的研究。 ClinicalTrials.gov,NCT01040910。
