  1. Pharmacokinetic assessment profile of THC formulations

    Timeframe: 48 hours with a replicate 7 days after the first dose in healthy subjects and the same time but with successive doses in post-chemotherapy patients

    Pharmacokinetics of THC by Assessment of Area Under the Curve From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC(0-inf)) \[ Time Frame: 0 hours (pre-dose), as well as at 0.12, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 hours post-dose \]

  2. Pharmacodynamic assessment profile of THC formulations: BPI

    Timeframe: Post-chemotherapy patients for at least 20 days with a daily report

    Brief pain inventory (BPI); The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) rapidly assesses the severity of pain and its impact on functioning. The questions ask participants to rate their pain in the prior 24-hours OR prior 7-day on a 0 to 10 Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), where "0" indicates "No pain" and "10" indicates "Pain as bad as you can imagine."

  3. Pharmacodynamic assessment profile of THC formulations: DEQ

    Timeframe: 48 hours with a replicate of 7 days after the first dose in healthy subjects and on the other hand post-chemotherapy patients for at least 20 days with a daily report

    Drug Effects Questionnaire (DEQ);is used in studies of acute subjective response (SR) to a variety of substances. The DEQ consists of 11 questions: "Feel Drug", "Feel High", "Like Drug", and "Want More", "dislike the sensation", "any sensations", "feel a head rush", "like drug effect", "dislike any effects". To calculate the DEQ- 'Good Drug Effects'. Each question was measured on a scale with a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 100. 100 represents the highest score for that subjective state, and the higher the score, the worse the outcome

  4. No significant nausea in terms of the proportion of subjects with no significant nausea

    Timeframe: Post-chemotherapy patients for at least 20 days with a daily report

    To investigate THC oral formulations in terms of the proportion of patients with no significant nausea (none or mild nausea) following initiation of oral formulations of THC (dronabinol) in post-chemotherapy patients

  1. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Timeframe: 14 days for healthy subjects, 20 days for post-chemotherapy patients

    Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Oral Formulations of THC, Number of AEs during 14 days for healthy subjects and 20 days for post-chemotherapy patients vs active drug phase vs. Dronabinol active comparator

  2. Global Quality of Life (QoL) of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) quality of life questionnaire

    Timeframe: at least 20 days for post-chemotherapy patients

    EORTC quality of life questionnaire (QLQ) is an integrated system for assessing the health-related quality of life (QoL) of cancer patients participating in international clinical trials. Self-reported symptoms related to treatment. Each item is rated on a response scale 1 = not at all to 4 = very much and refer to the time frame "during the last days" EORTC QLQ-C30
