Summary
Single center, non-blinded, randomized controlled trial. Enrollment is based on ≥50 MME
within 24 hours of admission, followed by a 24 hour screening/randomization window and a
participation period extending through the acute hospitalization period.
A total of 122 adult patients admitted with a traumatic injury will be randomized 1:1 across
2 study arms: adjunctive dronabinol or systemic analgesics only. Patients randomized to the
dronabinol arm should receive their first dose within 12 hours of randomization; patients
will also receive PRN as needed systemic analgesics for pain. Except for the analgesia
protocol, all other interventions will be equivalent for participants in both arms.
The clinical effects of analgesia treatment arm will be evaluated during the acute
hospitalization (hospital admission through discharge or death). The primary efficacy
endpoint will be assessed starting at 48 hours after randomization and carried through to
discharge.
