“Oral Cannabis for Secondary Prevention of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Phase II/III Trial.
Given 1/3 of patients with advanced cancer use for symptom support, wonderful to see more research being done!”
Katy Moore (Senior Scientific Officer at the Institute of Cancer Research):
“Thanks Ryan Nipp boosting this randomized trial of oral cannabis extract for CINV– yes it works but at cost of other adverse events.
This work provides science driven data to better counsel and support patient on treatment. Impressed!”
