Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A dose of ECs315 WaferiX equivalent to 10 mg CBD sublingually
A dose of ECs315 WaferiX equivalent to 20 mg CBD sublingually
A dose of ECs315 (5%) Oil equivalent to 10 mg CBD sublingually
Sativex® 4 actuations (equivalent to 10 mg CBD, 10.8 mg THC) as oromucosal spray
Cohort 1: receives a single dose of ECs315 WaferiX equivalent to 5 mg CBD sublingually (n=6).
Cohort 2: receives a single dose of each of 10 and 20 mg of WaferiX, 10 mg of Oil and Sativex in a randomised crossover design, with each dose separated by 3 days (n=12).
Cohort 3: A daily dose of ECs315 WaferiX equivalent to 20 mg CBD will be administered sublingually for 5 days (multiple dose) to a cohort of 6 patients. The dose will be administered as 10 mg Waferix twice a day.
The investigational products will be administered by site staff. Subjects are required to stay in the centre for the duration of the study.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 305003 0
To assess the safety and tolerability of single and multiple sublingual dose of ECs315 in healthy volunteers.

Safety and tolerability will be evaluated from spontaneously reported or observed adverse events, scheduled physical examinations, vital signs, 12-lead ECGs, and clinical laboratory results
Timepoint [1] 305003 0
Safety will be evaluated from spontaneously reported or observed adverse events, scheduled (daily) physical examinations, vital signs, 12-lead ECGs, and clinical laboratory results, 7 days after the single dose administration and 14 days after multiple dose administration.
Secondary outcome [1] 343848 0
To determine and compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ECs315 sublingual wafer and oral oil with buccal Sativex® in healthy subjects after various doses given as single and multiple sublingual wafer and single sublingal dose of ECs315 oil.

At predetermined times, blood and urine samples will be obtained for the determination of the CBD PK after sublingual administration of ECs315. Descriptive statistics will be employed to compare the PK parameters of CBD after administration of ECs315 in wafer and oil formulation and Sativex.

Cmax, AUC, tmax, hlaf life and clearance of CBD will be calculated for each subject.
Timepoint [1] 343848 0
For single dose study (cohort 1 and 2): Blood samples will be collected pre-dose, and then 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours post-dose for single dose study.

For multiple dose study (cohort 3): Blood samples will be collected pre-dose, on day 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, then 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72 and 168 hours post last dose.
