Paclitaxel

For an informed discussion with your doctor or pharmacist. This information collection is not a clinically validated interaction checker. Missing data do not establish safety. Do not change or stop prescribed medicines on the basis of this information. The findings apply to the specific conditions studied; laboratory and animal studies cannot be directly extrapolated to humans.

Active substance: Paclitaxel

Examples of brand names: Taxol [DE]

ATC code: L01CD01

Main use (for orientation): Selected cancers

Documented research summary

Several preclinical neuroprotection/antitumour studies and small clinical supportive CBD studies. Results depend on model, sequence and formulation, including antagonism; no general clinical pharmacokinetic safety or tumour efficacy proven.

Uncertainties and limitations

Intravenous albumin-bound particles; clearance/distribution differ from solvent-containing paclitaxel. Do not equate label pharmacokinetics between formulations.

Shared enzymes must not be equated with clinical evidence of an interaction; CBD/THC findings cannot be extrapolated to other cannabinoids.

PMID38396679 (CBG/PDAC) and 32992648 (CBD/ozone/PDAC): abstracts mention combinations but no clearly separated paclitaxel pair result; full-text assessment unresolved. PMID36839877 has author correction 37765336. Preprint PPR1251685 not peer reviewed.

Separately recorded findings

14 separately recorded findings. Each statement applies to its documented study context.

CBD – clinical signals

Finding ID: B0203

Type of result: Clinical signals

Observation: With carboplatin/paclitaxel, CBD improved early objective high-frequency vibrometry but not patient-reported neuropathy items significantly.

Mechanism: Neuropathy symptoms

Study type: Small non-randomised supportive human study

Context studied: 300 mg/day for 8 days, 54 participants overall receiving CAPOX or carboplatin/paclitaxel; not randomised, age differences.

Clinical interpretation: Study-specific, not a recommendation for use

Limitations and uncertainties: Mixed chemotherapies, no paclitaxel pharmacokinetic endpoint; short-term and insufficient for safety/antitumour efficacy.

Original sources for this finding: Oral cannabidiol for prevention of acute and transient chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. [BMED35933415]

CBD – clinical signals

Finding ID: B0204

Type of result: Clinical signals

Observation: Pilot report showed better discrimination of certain taste intensities, without a lean-body-mass effect.

Mechanism: Taste perception

Study type: Small non-randomised supportive human study

Context studied: 22 intervention/10 control; paclitaxel or oxaliplatin regimens; 300 mg/day for 8 days.

Clinical interpretation: Study-specific, not a recommendation for use

Limitations and uncertainties: Regimens not separated; probably overlapping pilot context with the neuropathy study, not independent pharmacokinetic evidence.
