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

Summary

This study tests a new medication called PP-01 to help adults with cannabis use disorder manage withdrawal symptoms when they stop using cannabis. About 420 participants will receive PP-01, an existing drug (nabilone), or a placebo daily for 34 days, with a one-week hospital stay at the start. The goal is to see if PP-01 reduces symptoms like irritability and sleep trouble better than placebo or nabilone.
