Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange in Movement Disorders Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part III (Motor Examination) ScoresFrom baseline to the end of 2.5 mg/kg/day of CBD, through 3 weeks
Movement Disorders Society-Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale(MDS UPDRS) Part III assesses the motor signs of PD. There are 33 scores based on 18 items, several with right, left or other body distribution scores.Each question is anchored with five responses that are linked to commonly accepted clinical terms: 0=normal, 1=slight, 2=mild, 3=moderate, and 4=severe. The possible change may be the scores of the total 33 scores. Scores ranges 0 -132. Higher values represent a worse outcome.
SecondaryThe Number of Participants Wtih Treatment-related Adverse EventsEvery 3-5 days at each dose level, assessed up to 3 weeks
Adverse events (AEs) are collected at each dose level. AEs collection include Serious Adverse Events (SAE), withdrawal symptoms and common AEs. SAE is an undesirable medical occurrence that results in death, or life-threatening, or inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization or significant disability or incapacity or in a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Withdrawal and common AEs include headache, anxiety, nausea/vomiting, tremor, chills, decreased concentration, increased concentration, agitation, irritability, sleep disturbances, mood changes, somnolence, fatigue, anorexia, appetite changes, weight loss or gain, diarrhea, convulsion, abdominal pain, weakness, fever and other unexpected AEs. All of the these AEs will be recorded and counted.
SecondaryChange in Liver Function Monitoring --Liver Function TestBaseline; at the end of 2.5 mg/kg/day; and every 3-5 days at each dose level, through 3 weeks.
Liver function tests will be performed and evaluated at each clinic visit from baseline through 3 weeks. The result is reported as the number of participants that had a clinically significant change in the values of the liver function test, including aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alanine transaminase (ALT), Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), Alkaline phosphatase (Alk Phos), Total Bilirubin (TB).
SecondaryThe Number of Participants Wtih Liver Function Impairment Related Adverse EventsBaseline; at the end of 2.5 mg/kg/day; and every 3-5 days at each dose level, through 3 weeks.
Liver function impairment will be evaluated and then related to adverse events and documented at each clinic visit. The change may be the frequency and severity of liver function impairment related AEs, including nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, weakness, chills, appetite changes, weight loss or gain, fever, etc.
SecondaryChange in Blood Pressure (Systolic)Baseline; at the end of 2.5 mg/kg/day, through 3 weeksStanding systolic blood pressure measurements will be assessed through 3 weeks. The change may be the value of systolic blood pressure.
SecondaryChange in Vital Signs-heart RateBaseline; at the end of 2.5 mg/kg/day, through 3 weeksThe change may be Heart rate (beat/minute) while standing.
SecondaryChange in Vital Signs--weightFrom baseline to the end of 2.5 mg/kg/day, assessed up to 3 weeksThe change may be weight in kilograms or lbs.
SecondaryChange in Vital Signs--temperature (Fahrenheit Degree)From baseline to the end of 2.5 mg/kg/day, assessed up to 3 weeksThe change may be temperature in Fahrenheit degree
SecondaryChange in Physical ExamFrom baseline to the end of 2.5 mg/kg/day, assessed up to 3 weeks
The result is reported as the number of participants that had a clinically significant change in the physical exam findings, including allergic immunologic, cardiovascular, constitutional symptoms, ENT, endocrine, eyes, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, hematologic, integumentary, musculoskeletal, neurological, psychiatric, respiratory and other symptoms clinical significant findings.
SecondaryChange in Neurological ExamFrom baseline to the end of 2.5 mg/kg/day, assessed up to 3 weeks
The result is reported as the number of participants that had a clinically significant change in the general neurological exam clinical significant findings, including cranial nerves, motor strength, sensation, reflexes, gait, and other movements.
