A Study of GWP42006 in People With Focal Seizures - Part B
- Registration Number
- NCT02365610
- Lead Sponsor
- Jazz Pharmaceuticals
- Brief Summary
To investigate the potential antiepileptic effects of GWP42006 as add-on therapy in subjects with inadequately controlled focal seizures.
- Detailed Description
This is a double blind, randomized, placebo controlled, two-part study. Part B only will be described in this record.
Subjects who satisfy all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria will enter a four-week baseline period, followed by a two-week dose escalation period (400 mg twice daily for one week, then 600 mg twice daily for one week), a six-week stable treatment period (800 mg twice daily) and a 12-day taper period. Subjects will be required to attend eight study visits. A follow-up phone call will take place four weeks after last dose.
Subjects will be randomized to receive in a 1:1 ratio, GWP42006 or placebo. Subjects will be required to record a daily diary with information about their seizures, investigational medicinal product (IMP) and concomitant antiepileptic drug (AED) administration.
