Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To investigate the potential antiepileptic effects of cannabidiol (GWP42003-P) in children and adults with Dravet or Lennox-Gastaut syndromes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multi-center, open-label extension study for participants with Dravet syndrome or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome who have previously participated in double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies of GWP42003-P (Core Studies: GWEP1332A \[NCT02091206\], GWEP1332B \[NCT02091375\], GWEP1424 \[NCT02224703\], GWEP1414 \[NCT02224560\], GWEP1424 \[NCT02224703\], and GWEP1423 \[NCT02224690\]). The first participant was enrolled into the open-label extension study after the Data Safety Monitoring Committee reviewed the safety data from Part A of study GWEP1332.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

• Participant has completed the treatment phase of their Core Studies: GWEP1332A \[NCT02091206\], GWEP1332B \[NCT02091375\], GWEP1424 \[NCT02224703\], GWEP1414 \[NCT02224560\], GWEP1424 \[NCT02224703\], and GWEP1423 \[NCT02224690\].

Exclusion Criteria

* Participant is currently using or has in the past used recreational or medicinal cannabis, or synthetic cannabinoid-based medications (including Sativex®) within the 3 months prior to study entry other than the investigational medicinal product (IMP) received during the Core Study and are unwilling to abstain for the duration for the study.
* Any history of suicidal behavior or any suicidal ideation of type 4 or 5 on the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) at Visit 1.
* Participant has been part of a clinical trial involving an IMP during the inter-study period.
* Female participant is of child bearing potential or male participant's partner is of child bearing potential, unless willing to ensure that they or their partner use highly effective contraception, for example, hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine devices/hormone-releasing systems, bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner or sexual abstinence, during the study and for 3 months thereafter (however, a male condom should not be used in conjunction with a female condom).
* Participant has significantly impaired hepatic function at the 'End of Treatment' visit of their Core Study or at Visit 1 if re-assessed: i) Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \>5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); ii) ALT or AST \>3 × ULN and (total bilirubin \[TBL\] \>2 × ULN or international normalized ratio \[INR\] \>1.5); iii) ALT or AST \>3 × ULN with the presence of fatigue, nausea, vomiting, right upper quadrant pain or tenderness, fever, rash, and/or eosinophilia (\>5%). This criterion must be confirmed prior to entering the study.
