Overview
The QUEST Initiative, sponsored by LGP, was one of the world's largest
longitudinal clinical studies investigating the effect of medicinal cannabis
on patient quality of life and health economic impacts. The study was led by a
leading Australian university with LGP exclusively supplying the medicinal
cannabis products to patients enrolled in the study and with Study costs fully
funded from patient participation fees. The study was also supported by
not-for-profit private health insurance provider Health Insurance Fund of
Australia (HIF) and guided by an experienced advisory group and endorsed by a
range of national bodies, such as MS research Australia, Chronic Pain
Australia, Arthritis Australia and Epilepsy Australia. For a full analysis of
the results, please refer to the link attached.
