Efficacy and Safety of GWP42003-P Oral Solution in Children With Epilepsy With Myoclonic-atonic Seizures

Exclusion Criteria

• •Has a history of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures that confounds the assessment of the primary efficacy measure
• •Has clinically significant unstable medical condition(s), other than EMAS
• •Has a clinically significant illness in the 28 days prior to Screening (Visit 1) or randomization (Part A Visit 3), other than epilepsy, which in the opinion of the investigator could affect seizure frequency
• •Has presence of focal seizures or persistent focal epileptiform discharges on EEG
• •Has a history of infantile spasms
• •Has moderate to severe neurocognitive and/or developmental delay prior to seizure onset
• •Has a progressive neurological condition
• •Has known or suspected hypersensitivity to cannabinoids or any of the excipients of GWP42003-P such as sesame oil
• •Is unwilling or unable to remain stable on concurrent AEDs throughout the study.
• •Has, in the opinion of the investigator, clinically significant abnormalities in the electrocardiogram (ECG) measured at Screening (Part A Visit 1), or any concurrent cardiovascular conditions, which will interfere with the ability to read their ECGs
• •Has significantly impaired hepatic function at the Screening visit (Visit 1) or prior to dosing, defined as any of the following:
• •1. alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \> 5 × upper limit of normal (ULN);
• •2. total bilirubin (TBL) (serum) ≥ 2 × ULN or International Normalized Ratio (INR) \> 1.5 (TBL ≥ 2 × ULN exclusion will not apply for participants diagnosed with Gilbert's disease);
• •3. serum ALT or AST ≥ 3 × ULN with the presence of fatigue, nausea, vomiting, right upper quadrant pain or tenderness, fever, rash, and/or eosinophilia (\> 5%);
• •4. elevated ALT or AST at Screening (Part A Visit 1), should be discussed with the medical monitor prior to Randomization (Part A Visit 3); the medical monitor may allow for a confirmatory re-draw prior to randomization.
• •This criterion can only be confirmed once the laboratory results are available.
• •Has clinically significant impaired renal function at Screening (Part A Visit 1), as evidenced by an estimated creatinine clearance lower than 60 milliliters per minute (mL/min)
• •Is a female participant of CBP, who is pregnant (positive pregnancy test), lactating or planning pregnancy during the course of the study and for 3 months thereafter
• •Participant has any known or suspected history of alcohol or substance abuse
• •Any clinically significant abnormalities identified following a physical examination or laboratory assessments of the participant that, in the opinion of the investigator, would jeopardize the safety of the participant if they take part in the study
• •Participant has any other clinically significant disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the investigator, may either put the participant, other participants, or site staff at risk because of participation in the study, may influence the result of the study, or may affect the participant's ability to take part in the study
• •Has a change in anticonvulsant therapies within 28 days of starting the baseline period (Part A Visit 2), including AEDs or settings on vagal nerve stimulator
• •Has any planned clinical interventions or intends to change any or all medications that may impact seizures during the study
• •Has been treated with a general anesthetic in the 28 days prior to screening (Part A Visit 1) or randomization (Part A Visit 3 \[Week 0\])
• •Has undergone surgery for epilepsy in the 6 months prior to Screening (Part A Visit 1)
• •Is being considered for epilepsy surgery or any procedure involving general anesthesia during the study
• •Has initiated a ketogenic diet within 3 months prior to the Baseline period (Part A Visit 2). Participants who are stable on a ketogenic diet for ≥ 3 months and willing to remain on a stable epilepsy dietary therapy (e.g., ketogenic diet, Atkins diet, low glycemic index diet) during the study, are eligible for inclusion.
• •Has initiated felbamate within 12 months prior to screening (Part A Visit 1). Participants who are stable on a felbamate for ≥ 12 months are eligible for inclusion.
• •Is currently being treated with or had previously (within 3 months prior to screening \[Part A Visit 1\] received intravenous immunoglobulin treatment or plasma exchange for the treatment of seizures
• •Has participated in a clinical study involving administration of an IMP (new chemical entity) or medical device (e.g., vagal nerve stimulator) within 1 month prior to screening (Part A Visit 1)
• •Have previously been randomized, completed, or withdrawn from this study
• •Is currently using a drug of abuse or current non-prescribed use of any prescription drug
• •Is currently using or has used recreational or medicinal cannabis, cannabinoid-based medications, products, or supplements (botanical or synthetic) within 28 days prior to screening (Part A Visit 1).
• •Mother (if breastfeeding the participant) is currently using or has used recreational or medicinal cannabis, cannabinoid-based medications, products, or supplements (botanical or synthetic) within 28 days of screening (Part A Visit 1).
• •Has any history of suicidal behavior or serious suicidal ideation, defined as Category 4 or greater on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) at any visit prior to dosing with IMP. This criterion applies only to participants 4 to 18 years of age.
• •Is unwilling or unable to comply with all study requirements, including accurate eDiary completion
• •Participants who, in the opinion of the investigator (or designee), should not participate in this study
• •Has travel planned outside their country of residence during the study, unless the participant has confirmation that the IMP is permitted in the destination country and all stops along the way
• •Part B only:
• •Has significantly impaired hepatic function at Part A Visit 9, defined as any of the following:
• •1. ALT or AST \> 5 × ULN;
• •2. TBL (serum) ≥ 2 × ULN or INR \> 1.5 (TBL ≥ 2 × ULN exclusion will not apply for participants diagnosed with Gilbert's disease.
• •3. Serum ALT or AST ≥ 3 × ULN with the presence of fatigue, nausea, vomiting, right upper quadrant pain or tenderness, fever, rash, and/or eosinophilia (\> 5%). The medical monitor may allow for a confirmatory redraw prior to rollover.
