This phase II trials evaluates how well different types of phytocannabinoids (cannabidiol \[CBD\] versus tetrahydrocannabinol \[THC\] and CBD formulation \[THC:CBD\]) work to reduce chronic chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy among breast and colon cancer survivors. Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy is a set of symptoms that includes pain, tingling, numbness and motor weakness caused by certain types of chemotherapy treatment. Phytocannabinoids are compounds made by the cannabis plant, such as THC and CBD, that have been found to be an effective treatment for chronic pain. Phytocannabinoids may be effective in reducing chronic chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy symptoms in patients treated for breast or colon cancer.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Assess the ability of CBD and THC:CBD to reduce chronic chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) symptoms as compared to placebo using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity (FACT/GOG-Ntx) among breast and colon cancer survivors. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the impact of CBD and THC:CBD as compared to placebo on quality of life using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) among breast and colon cancer survivors with chronic CIPN. II. Document the utilization of neuropathic and pain medi…
