Study Summary

This trial will explore if cannabinoid creams can help reduce pain in post-menopausal women with hormone-positive breast cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults in Minnesota with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer who have been on aromatase inhibitors for at least 60 days and are experiencing joint pain from the treatment. Participants must be willing to join the Minnesota Medical Cannabis Program, not use other cannabinoids recently, and not plan to start new pain medications or therapies like acupuncture during the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The CanAroma study tests two topical cannabinoid creams: one THC-dominant and one CBD-dominant, provided by Vireo Health. The goal is to see if these creams are safe, tolerated well, and effective against joint pain caused by breast cancer medication (AIMSS). It's a preliminary step towards larger trials.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include skin irritation where the cream is applied or allergic reactions if sensitive to cannabinoids. Since it's a topical treatment, systemic side effects are less likely but could still occur depending on individual absorption.
