Effect of Semaglutide on Cannabis Use in Adults With Cannabis Use Disorder

Sponsor: Anders Fink-Jensen, MD, DMSci

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The HASHTAG Study is investigating whether the medicine semaglutide can help adults with cannabis use disorder (CUD) reduce their cannabis use. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either semaglutide or a placebo. The first 50 participants will have functional brain scans (fMRI) to investigate how the brain responds to cannabis-related cues. The main outcome after 20 weeks is whether semaglutide reduces cannabis use compared to placebo. Changes in brain activity in response to cannabis cues will be explored as a secondary outcome.
