Filter by:This study is being conducted to evaluate the effects of GWP42003-P on cognition in pediatric participants, aged 3 to 10 years, with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS).
This is a single center open-label pilot clinical trial of patients 1-70 years of age with greater than 6 seizures per month diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, Tuberous Sclerosis, or focal seizures. Twenty patients will be enrolled and treated with a stable dose of orally administered turmeric oil daily for 3 months. Patients and caregivers will be asked to keep a seizure diary logging all clinical events during the course of the study. Serum comprehensive metabolic panel, complete blood count with differential, and antiseizure medication levels, will be monitored at baseline, 1.5 months, and at the end of 3 months.
The purpose of this study is to determine if cannabidiol (CBD) obtained via the state of Minnesota reduces seizures in patients with severe intractable epilepsy (Dravet Syndrome or Lennox Gastaut Syndrome), and to measure blood levels of CBD to help determine CBD concentration-response characteristics.
This Phase 3 trial will enroll participants diagnosed with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) who are still experiencing at least 4 motor seizures involving the trunk or extremities per week, despite ongoing treatment with up to 3 antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and who meet inclusion/exclusion criteria. Following a 28-day baseline period, participants will begin an 84-day treatment period. Participants will be assigned to receive twice daily doses of placebo or cannabidiol oral solution at the highest dose determined to be safe in a previous trial. Following study completion, all participants will be invited to receive Cannabidiol Oral Solution in an open label extension study (under a separate protocol).
Lennox-Gastaut syndrome is a severe epileptic encephalopathy of childhood. In that syndrome, various type of seizure occur, mainly tonic seizures, atonic seizures and atypical absences. The tonic seizure occur mostly at night. The hypothesis is that the melatonin could have a positive effect in that syndrome, by reducing the epileptic activity (assessed in the polysomnographic record by counting the number of interictal and ictal discharges) and stabilizing the structure of sleep. The study is double blind, randomised, cross-over designed.
