Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44242   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7339   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    Pivotal Phase:
    •To assess the number and proportion of patients considered treatment responders, defined as those free of spasms and have resolution of hypsarrhythmia, at the end of the 2-week blinded treatment period versus placebo.
    OLE:
    •To assess the long term safety of GWP42003-P in infants with IS.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    All Phases:
    •To assess the number and proportion of patients who are free of clinical spasms at the end of the treatment period •To assess the number and proportion of patients who have resolution of hypsarrhythmia at the end of the treatment period •To assess changes in spasms and seizure subtypes by caregiver observation during the treatment period•To determine time to cessation of spasms during the treatment period.
    Pivotal Phase Only
    •To assess the safety and tolerability of GWP42003-P.
    •To determine the population pharmacokinetics (POPPK) of CBD and its metabolites.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    For inclusion in the trial, patients must fulfil ALL of the following criteria:
    •Patient’s parent(s)/legal representative is willing and able to give informed consent for the patient’s participation in the trial.
    •Patient and their caregiver are willing and able (in the investigator’s opinion) to comply with all trial requirements.
    •Patient is diagnosed with IS
    •Patient has failed to respond adequately following treatment with 1 or more approved IS therapies
    •Patient’s parent(s)/legal representative is willing to allow the responsible authorities to be notified of participation in the trial, if mandated by local law.
    •Patient’s parent(s)/legal representative is willing to allow the patient’s primary care practitioner (if they have one) and consultant (if they have one) to be notified of participation in the trial, if the primary care practitioner/consultant is different to the investigator.
    •All non-pharmacological interventions for epilepsy must have been stable for 2 weeks prior to screening.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    The patient may not enter the trial if ANY of the following apply:
    •Patient is currently taking or has taken clobazam or any oral mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor within the 2 weeks prior to the screening visit.
    •Patient has a QT interval, corrected for heart rate with Bazett’s formula (QTcB), of > 460 msec on ECG.
    •Patient’s caregiver is currently giving or has given recreational or medicinal cannabis, or synthetic cannabinoid-based medications, within the 1 month prior to the screening visit, as determined by investigator interview with patient’s caregiver.
    •Patient’s caregiver is unwilling to abstain from giving the patient (including the patient’s mother abstaining themselves, if breastfeeding) recreational or medicinal cannabis, or synthetic cannabinoid-based medications (other than the study IMP), during the trial, as determined by investigator interview with patient’s caregiver.
    •Patient has any known or suspected hypersensitivity to cannabinoids or any of the excipients of the IMP(s), such as sesame oil.
    •Patient has significantly impaired hepatic function at the screening visit.
    •Patient has received an IMP as part of a clinical trial within a minimum of 5 half-lives prior to the screening visit.
    •Patient has any other significant disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the investigator, may either put the patient at risk because of participation in the trial, may influence the result of the trial, or may affect the patient’s ability to take part in the trial.
    •Any abnormalities identified following a physical examination of the patient that, in the opinion of the investigator, would jeopardize the safety of the patient or confound assessment of efficacy if they took part in the trial.
    •Patient has been previously included in the pilot or pivotal phase of this trial.
    •Patient has travel outside the country and/or United States state of residence planned during the trial, unless the patient has confirmation that the IMP is permitted in the destination country/state.
