Copeia In Partnership with
Sharing Real-World Cannabis Therapy Insights: German Experience for a Global Medical Community – In Collaboration with Aurora

Developed by Copeia and initially launched in Germany, PEP EN is the international, English-language edition of the Physicians Experience Platform (PEP). In partnership with Aurora, PEP EN offers healthcare professionals worldwide access to curated case studies based on real-world experiences with cannabis-based therapies.

PEP offers medical professionals easy and free access to a platform that presents physician experiences through structured case reports. Cannabis-based medicines are used in chronically ill patients with a wide range of indications. Within these indications, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies are typically employed to treat the underlying condition and its accompanying symptoms.

As a non-causal form of therapy, cannabis-based medicines primarily target the management of accompanying symptoms that significantly impact patients’ quality of life.

By capturing information on the treatment of individual symptoms, specific cannabis-based medicines used, concurrent medications, dosages, and any side effects, PEP offers a structured approach to evaluating individualized medical cannabis therapy.
