Primary	Number of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Discontinuations Due to AEs, Serious AEs, and Treatment-related AEs	Adverse events (AEs) were defined as any new unfavorable/unintended signs/symptoms (including abnormal laboratory findings when relevant) or diagnosis or worsening of a pre-existing condition that occurs during the study. TEAEs were defined as the AEs that started or worsened in severity or seriousness following the first dose of GWP42003-P. A serious AE was defined as any AE that results in any of the following outcomes: death, life-threatening adverse experience, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, or cancer, any other experience that suggests a significant hazard, contraindication, side effect or precaution that may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above, or an event that changes the risk/benefit ratio of the study.

Secondary	Mean Change From Baseline in Rett Syndrome Behaviour Questionnaire (RSBQ) Overall Score at End of Treatment	RSBQ is a caregiver-completed questionnaire that assesses the overall condition (45 items) in individuals with Rett Syndrome. Each item is rated on a 3-point scale (0-2); 0 indicating an item that is "not true as far as you know," 1 indicating an item is "somewhat or sometimes true," and 2 indicating an item that is "very true or often true". " Item 31 ("Uses eye gaze to convey feelings, needs and wishes") is reverse-scored (0 indicating "very true or often true", 1 indicating "somewhat or sometimes true," and 2 indicating "not true as far as you know"). The total summed score ranges from 0 to 90, with higher scores representing greater severity. A negative mean change from baseline indicates an improvement in overall condition.	Baseline of randomized controlled trial (RCT) Visit 1 (Day 1) up to Visit 14 (Day 729) in the OLE
Secondary	Mean Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement (CGI-I) Continuous Score at End of Treatment	CGI-I is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to assess whether a patient's condition has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the intervention. This was rated as: 1 = very much improved; 2 = much improved; 3 = minimally improved; 4 = no change; 5 = minimally worse; 6 = much worse; or 7 = very much worse. The mean continuous CGI-I score (averaged from each treatment enrolled under protocol and under annex) at Visit 14 (Day 729) is being reported. Higher mean scores indicate worse condition.	Visit 14 (Day 729) in the OLE
Secondary	Mean Clinician Global Impressions - Severity Scale (CGI-S) Continuous Score at End of Treatment	CGI-S is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the participant's illness at the time of assessment relative to the clinician's experience with participants who had the same diagnosis. This was rated as: 1 = normal, not at all ill; 2 = borderline ill; 3 = mildly ill; 4 = moderately ill; 5 = markedly ill; 6 =severely ill; or 7 = extremely ill. The mean continuous CGI-S score (averaged from each treatment enrolled under protocol and under annex) at Visit 14 (Day 729) is being reported. Higher scores indicate more severe disease.

Secondary	Mean Change From Baseline in Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) Total Score at End of Treatment	CSHQ is a caregiver-completed sleep screening instrument designed for school-aged children; which includes 33 items within 8 subscales:bedtime resistance (score range 6-18), sleep onset delay (range 1-3), sleep duration (range 3-9), sleep anxiety (range 4-12), night wakings (range 3-9), parasomnias (range 7-21), sleep-disordered breathing (range 3-9), daytime sleepiness (range 8-24). The 33 items range from 1 to 3, where 3="usually" (=5 times/week), 2="sometimes" (2-4 times/week), and 1="rarely" (=1 time/week); for items 31 and 32, 3=fall asleep, 2=very sleepy, 1=not sleepy. A score of 3 indicates greater severity; however, 6 items (1-Goes to bed at same time; 3-Falls asleep in own bed; 26-Wakes by himself; 2-Falls asleep in 20 minutes; 10-Sleeps the right amount; 11-Sleeps same amount each day) are reverse scored. The total summed score ranges from 33 to 99, with higher scores indicating disturbed sleep behavior. A negative mean change from baseline indicates improvement in sleep.

Secondary	Mean Change From Baseline in 9-item Motor Behavioral Assessment (MBA-9) Total Score at End of Treatment	MBA-9 is derived from the full MBA scale (37 Rett syndrome symptoms) by selecting the items deemed amenable to change and which reflected areas of meaningful clinical change. The MBA-9 includes 9 items (Regression of motor skills; Poor eye/social contact; Lack of sustained interest; Does not reach for objects or people; Chewing difficulties; Speech disturbance; Hand clumsiness; Dystonia; and Hypertonia/rigidity). For each item, the severity of current symptoms is rated by the investigator on a 5-point numerical scale ranging from 0 to 4 with higher scores representing greater severity (0 = normal or never; 1 = mild or rare; 2 = moderate or occasional; 3 = marked or frequent; 4 = very severe or constant). Total MBA-9 score was calculated by summing the scores of 9 different subscale items. The total summed score ranges from 0 to 36, with higher scores representing greater severity. A negative mean change from baseline indicates improvement in behavior.	Baseline of randomized controlled trial (RCT) Visit 1 (Day 1) up to Visit 14 (Day 729) in the OLE
