About This Oxaliplatin Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Cancer Patients Study in Philadelphia

This is a pilot, prospective, randomized study evaluating the feasibility and acceptability of incorporating hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) supplementation to prevent oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (OIPN) in patients receiving oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy for colorectal cancer (CRC). Participants will be randomized to receive either CBD capsules in addition to standard therapy or standard therapy alone.
