An Open-label Extension Trial to Investigate Possible Drug-drug Interactions Between Stiripentol or Valproate and Cannabidiol in Patients With Epilepsy

December 19, 2022 updated by: Jazz Pharmaceuticals

A Phase 2, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Pharmacokinetic Trial in 2 Parallel Groups to Investigate Possible Drug-drug Interactions Between Stiripentol or Valproate and GWP42003-P in Patients With Epilepsy

This trial consists of 2 parts: a double-blinded phase and an open-label extension phase. The open-label extension phase only will be described in this record. All participants will receive the same dose of GWP42003-P. However, investigators may subsequently decrease or increase the participant's dose until the optimal dose is found.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

16 years to 55 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Note: Participants who enroll in France or Sweden must be aged 18-55 years.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participant must have a documented magnetic resonance imaging/computerized tomography of the brain that ruled out a progressive neurologic condition.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participant has clinically significant unstable medical conditions other than epilepsy.
  • Participant has a history of symptoms related to a drop in blood pressure due to postural changes (e.g., dizziness, light-headedness, blurred vision, palpitations, weakness, syncope).
  • Participant has any history of suicidal behavior or any suicidal ideation of type 4 or 5 on the C-SSRS in the last month.

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: GWP42003-P

Administered orally, twice daily (morning and evening), commencing with titration of 100 mg/mL GWP42003-P to 20 mg/kg/day over 10 days in a blinded manner (i.e., only participants taking placebo in the blinded phase will up-titrate; doses will remain unchanged for those taking GWP42003-P in the blinded phase).

Participants remain on the maintenance dose for the remainder of the 48-week treatment period, until early withdrawal or at an early study conclusion date defined by the sponsor. However, investigators may subsequently decrease or increase the participant's dose (to a maximum of 30 mg/kg/day) until the optimum dose is found.

Dosing is tapered (10% each day) for participants who do not immediately continue to use GWP42003-P once market authorization is granted, or for those who withdraw early.
Drug: GWP42003-P
Clear, colorless to yellow solution containing cannabidiol (CBD) dissolved in the excipients sesame oil and anhydrous ethanol with added sweetener (sucralose) and strawberry flavoring.
Other Names:
  • Cannabidiol
  • CBD
  • Epidiolex
