A study to compare the change in glycaemic control in participants with Type 2 diabetes when treated with GWP42004 or placebo as add-on therapy to metformin over a period of 12 weeks. The safety and tolerability of GWP42004 compared with placebo will also be assessed.
This 14 week (one week baseline, 12 week treatment period and one week follow-up), multicentre, randomised, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of 2, 5 and 15 mg of GWP42004 as add on to metformin compared with placebo in participants with Type 2 diabetes.
Eligible participants will enter the study at a screening visit (Visit 1, Day -7) where the following information will be obtained for each participant:
Once all inclusion and exclusion criteria have been reviewed, participants will be commence a seven day baseline period. The day before Visit 2, participants will perform blood glucose tests and record the results, along with the associated time of assessment, in the study diary. Participants will then fast overnight.
Participants will return to the clinic at Visit 2 (Day 1) and following review of all inclusion and exclusion criteria, the following information will be obtained for each participant:
Participants will then be randomised to receive either GWP42004 (2, 5 or 15 mg bid) or placebo to be taken adjunctive to their currently prescribed medication. The first dose will be administered and a Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) performed.
A third (Visit 3, Day 29) and fourth (Visit 4, Day 57) visit will take place mid-treatment. The day before these visits, participants will perform blood glucose tests and record the results, along with the associated time of assessment, in the study diary. Participants will then fast overnight. The following information will be obtained for each participant at Visits 3 and 4:
A cannabis withdrawal scale assessment will be made by telephone (UK only) between Visits 4 and 5.
A further visit will take place at the end of treatment (Visit 5, Day 85). Two days before this visit, a cannabis withdrawal scale assessment will be made by telephone (UK only). The day before Visit 5, participants will perform blood glucose tests and record the results, along with the associated time of assessment, in the study diary. Participants will then fast overnight. The following information will be obtained for each participant at Visit 5:
the following information will be obtained for each participant:
One, three and seven days following Visit 5 (Days 86, 89 and 92, respectively), further cannabis withdrawal scale assessments will be made by telephone (UK only). A final review of AEs and concomitant medications will be made by telephone to all participants on Day 92.

Time frame: Screening (Day -7) to Final follow-up (Day 92)
Change from baseline to the end of treatment in mean Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) total score.
The BDI-II is a multiple choice self-reported inventory that is one of the most widely used instruments for measuring the severity of depression. There are 21 questions or items, each having four possible responses. Each response is assigned a score ranging from zero to three, indicating the severity of the symptom. Items 1 to 13 assess symptoms that are psychological in nature, while items 14 to 21 assess symptoms that are more physical. The sum of all BDI-II item scores indicates the severity of depression. For participants eligible for this study, a score of 21 or over represents depression. The BDI-II can distinguish between different subtypes of depressive disorders, such as major depression and dysthymia. A decrease from baseline to the end of treatment, a negative value, indicates an improvement.

Time frame: Screening (Day -7) to End of treatment (Day 85)
Change from baseline to the end of study in mean Cannabis Withdrawal Scale (CWS) total score.
The CWS is validated and used as a diagnostic instrument in clinical and research settings where regular monitoring of withdrawal symptoms is required. The CWS will be completed for UK-based participants only. The CWS is a 19 item scale with each item (withdrawal symptom) measured on a 0-10 point scale (0 = Not at all, 5 = moderately, 10 = Extremely). For each item, the participant is asked to record the extent to which it was experienced in the last 24 hours and also to rate its negative impact on their normal daily activities (i.e., two separate scores are recorded for each item using the same 0-10 scale). Scores are summed over the 19 items for each measure, extent of experience and negative impact on normal daily activities. An increase from baseline to the end of study, a positive value, indicates withdrawal.
