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.
