GW’s Epilepsy Clinical Program
GW’s clinical development in the field of epilepsy is currently focused on cannabidiol or CBD where we have a product approved in both the U.S. as the brand EPIDIOLEX® and in Europe and the UK as the brand EPIDYOLEX®.
GW’s epilepsy development has initially concentrated on three severe, orphan, early-onset, treatment-resistant epilepsy syndromes – including Dravet syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) and Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC).
Pivotal-clinical trial program
- We have conducted a series of clinical trials designed to obtain safety and efficacy data on our cannabidiol oral solution to provide to the FDA and other regulatory authorities around the world, designed to support approval as a prescription medicine. Initial target indications include Dravet syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, and Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. In these trials, eligible patients are randomly assigned to receive GW's formulation of cannabidiol (Epidiolex) or placebo added to their current treatment and evaluated over a specific period of time. These trials are “blinded” meaning that patients, families, and physicians do not know which treatment arm they have been assigned.
- GW’s Phase 3 pivotal trial program for Epidiolex includes two Phase 3 trials in Dravet syndrome, two in LGS, and one in TSC. All of these trials have concluded. (see GW press releases: 14 March 2016, 27 June 2016, 26 September 2016 and 6 May 2019). Four of these studies are published in peer-reviewed journals to date – The New England Journal of Medicine, the Lancet, and the JAMA Neurology.
