Interaction Between Cannabidiol, Meal Ingestion, and Liver Function
NCT04971837 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
According to a recent consumer poll, over 20 million Americans regularly use cannabidiol (CBD). Moreover, 64 million Americans (over 25% of the population) report trying CBD at least once within the previous 2 years. Since the passing of the 2018 Agriculture Improvement Act, the use of hemp-derived products, such as CBD, is highly prevalent across North America. The acceleration of the use of CBD has outpaced our understanding of the associated potential risks and benefits, and the way it is processed within the body. In the current proposed project, investigators wish to continue our ongoing collaboration with Caliper Foods, a Colorado-based manufacturer of CBD products. The focus of this project is three-fold: (1) investigators will compare the pharmacokinetics of different formulations of ingestible CBD; (2) investigators will examine the potential two-way interaction between a meal and one formulation of ingestible CBD; and, (3) investigators will examine the influence of different formulations of CBD on markers of liver function.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04971837
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04971837 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 26 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Colorado State University, which has 92 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Pharmacokinetics appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 5 interventions — of which Cannabidiol (CBD) powder formulation is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04971837 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Colorado. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
