E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To investigate the effectiveness of CBD on irritability and other behavioural problems in children and adults with TSC, Sanfilippo and FXS, and autism. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objective is to examine the effects of CBD on aggression, hyperactivity, anxiety, mood, patient-centered outcome measures (PCOMs), disease-specific outcome measures, seizure frequency, and side effects. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Minimum age of 6 years old. - Clinically definite diagnosis of TSC, Sanfilippo or FXS (modified Gomez criteria or positive genetic test (such as FISH test, microarray, WES-analysis)). - Suffering from severe behavioural manifestation with a minimum score of 4 on the CGI scale. - All medications or interventions for epilepsy and behavioural manifestations must have been stable dosed for one month prior to screening and the participant is willing to maintain the current regimen throughout the trial. - Presence of a consistently available patient caregiver for proxy-reports. |
