Recruiting studies
- NCT07635563RecruitingPhase 2
Sleep Apnea Treatment with Dronabinol and Acetazolamide
This study tests a combination medication (dronabinol and acetazolamide) to treat obstructive sleep apnea in people who cannot tolerate or use CPAP machines. The goal is to find the right dose that safely reduces breathing interruptions during sleep.
Chula Vista, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT07176208RecruitingPhase 1
THC and alcohol effects on driving in healthy adults
This study looks at how taking THC (the active ingredient in cannabis) with or without alcohol affects your driving and perception. You will take a THC pill and possibly a drink with alcohol, then have your driving tested in a simulator.
West Bend, WisconsinAges 21–55 - NCT06477952RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Dronabinol for sleep apnea
This study tests whether dronabinol, a cannabis-like medicine, can help people with moderate sleep apnea breathe better at night. It may be an option for those who haven't found other treatments helpful.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Up to 65 years - NCT05906511RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study how THC levels change in older adults
This early study measures how a THC dose (by mouth or vaporized form) moves through the body and how it affects the body’s responses. It mainly looks at safety and how THC behaves in older adults, including people who have used cannabis before.
West Haven, ConnecticutAges 65 years+ - NCT04025359RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Test dronabinol for pain responses in people on opioid treatment
This early-stage study tests whether dronabinol (a form of THC) changes pain perception in people with opioid use disorder who are already stable on methadone or buprenorphine. It may help researchers understand whether this treatment affects pain and drug-related outcomes in a safer, controlled way.
West Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–70 - NCT06454669RecruitingPhase 2
Dronabinol added to opioids for chronic low back pain
This trial tests whether adding dronabinol (a prescription medication derived from cannabis) to your current opioid pain treatment can help reduce chronic low back pain more effectively. It is for people who have had persistent low back pain for at least 3 months and are already on a stable opioid regimen.
Houston, TexasAges 18–64 - NCT06473701RecruitingPhase 3
Dronabinol for COPD-related breathlessness
This trial tests whether a drug called dronabinol (a synthetic form of THC) can help reduce severe shortness of breath in people with advanced COPD who are already receiving the best available treatment. If you have severe COPD and still feel very breathless, this study may offer a new option to improve your breathing.
Vejle, Region SyddanmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT06446479RecruitingPhase 2
THC's effect on alcohol use and brain reward
This study tests whether THC (the active ingredient in cannabis) can change how much alcohol you drink and how your brain responds to rewards. You will have MRI scans and take THC or a placebo, then drink alcohol in a controlled setting.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 21–40 - NCT04992624RecruitingPhase 2
Cannabinoid treatment effects on knee pain and nerve signals
This Phase 2 study tests whether a cannabinoid-related treatment changes how pain works in people with knee osteoarthritis. It uses questionnaires, MRI, and gentle nerve testing to understand if treatment helps pain and pain-related signals.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 21–75 - NCT05519111RecruitingPhase 2
Cannabinoid treatment to lower inflammation and sickle pain
This Phase 2 study tests a cannabinoid medicine (dronabinol) to reduce inflammation and pain related to sickle cell disease. It may help you have less pain that interferes with daily life if you meet the study requirements and can safely avoid cannabis during the study.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05865470RecruitingPhase 1
How age affects smoked and oral THC effects
This early-stage study compares how people in different age groups respond to THC taken by smoking versus by mouth. It aims to understand age-related differences in effects and safety, which could help guide safer use in the future.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT06731894RecruitingPhase 2
Cannabis for nerve pain after chemotherapy in breast and colon cancer survivors
This trial tests whether a cannabis-based product can reduce nerve damage (neuropathy) caused by chemotherapy in people who have finished treatment for breast or colon cancer. It focuses on survivors who still have pain, numbness, or tingling in their hands or feet.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07225777RecruitingPhase 2
THC's effects on brain and behavior by sex
This study looks at how THC affects men and women differently, focusing on brain activity and behavior. It may help understand why some people react differently to cannabis.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 21–45 - NCT02811510RecruitingPhase 1
Study of THC effects on people with past cannabis use
This Phase 1 study tests how THC (the main active ingredient in cannabis) affects healthy adults, and whether effects differ by gender. It’s designed to learn about short-term body and brain responses to THC.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Dronabinol?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 14 recruiting studies that include Dronabinol, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a Dronabinol trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Is Dronabinol an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether Dronabinol or a specific trial is right for you.
