Measure
Cannabidiol Oral Solution: 20 or 40 mg/kg/Day BID
The dose of Cannabidiol Oral Solution will begin at 20 mg/kg/day \[10 mg/kg twice per day (BID)\], will be adjusted at any time if the investigator feels the safety or well-being of the participant is at risk, and will be titrated up or down according to protocol-stipulated parameters and at the investigator's discretion after Day 14 to enhance efficacy. Dose will not exceed 40 mg/kg/day.

Population: Efficacy Analysis Population: included all participants who received study drug for at least 14 days and underwent video EEG on Day 14.

Parent impression of efficacy and tolerability, as measured by Clinical Global Impression-Global Improvement Scale (CGI-I), was summarized by visit and status of response (Complete/Partial and No Response) at Visit 3 (Day 14), Visit 4 (Week 4), Visit 5 (Week 8), Visit 6 (Week 10), and end of study. The CGI-I was also analyzed in a continuous scale, as follows: 1 = Very much improved, 2 = Much improved, 3 = Minimally improved, 4 = No change, 5 = Minimally worse, 6 = Much worse, and 7 = Very much worse
