CBD tested as shield against Chemo's nerve pain

NCT ID NCT07167446

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-phase trial tests whether taking CBD capsules can prevent nerve damage caused by the chemotherapy drug oxaliplatin in people with colorectal cancer. Thirty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either CBD plus standard chemo or chemo alone. The main goal is to see if patients can stick with the CBD regimen, not yet to prove it works.

Active substance

cannabidiol (CBD) capsules

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a way to prevent painful nerve damage from chemotherapy, improving quality of life for cancer patients.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small pilot study with only 30 people. It mainly tests feasibility, not effectiveness. CBD may not prevent neuropathy, and side effects or interactions with chemo are possible.
