1. Subject must have a documented history of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome by:
a. Evidence of more than one type of seizure, of which at least one should be an atonic or tonic seizure
b. History of an electroencephalogram (EEG) reporting diagnostic criteria for LGS (abnormal background activity accompanied by slow, spike and wave pattern <3.0 Hz)
c. History of developmental delay
2. Male or female subjects
3. Subjects must be age 4-55 years at the time of consent/assent
4. Must have been <11 years old at the onset of LGS
5. Subjects must have experienced at least 8 drop seizures with potential to fall (tonic, atonic, tonic-clonic) during the 4-week Baseline period preceding randomization (minumim of 4 drop seizures in the first
two weeks and 4 in the last two weeks). Drop seizures are defined as a countable seizure involving the entire body, trunk, or head that led or could have led to a fall, injury, slumping in a chair, or hitting the subject's head on a surface. All drop seizure types must be countable
(either as isolated seizures or as countable isolated seizures in a cluster).
6. Subjects must have been receiving 1 to 4 concomitant anti-seizure medications (ASMs) at a stable dose for at least 4 weeks before Visit 1
7. If not taking Epidiolex, subjects may take other approved cannabidiol or over the counter cannabidiol products. If taking cannabidiol other than Epidiolex, consult Medical Monitor to determine if it counts as a concomitant ASM.
8. Dietary therapy and any CNS stimulator settings must be stable for 4 weeks prior to baseline and maintain stable regimen throughout the study. The dietary therapy and CNS stimulators are not counted as an ASM.
9. Parents or caregivers must be able to keep accurate seizure diaries
10. Subject is either not of childbearing potential, defined as premenarchal, postmenopausal for at least 1 year or surgically sterile (bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or hysterectomy), if of childbearing potential, must comply with an acceptable method of birth control during the study, for at least 4 weeks prior to study entry and for 2 weeks after dose of study drug.
11. Subject and/or caregiver/legal representative must be willing and able to give informed assent/consent for participation in the study
12. Subject and their caregiver must be willing and able (in the investigator’s opinion) to comply with all study requirements
13. History of COVID-19 vaccination is permitted.

F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
1. Etiology of subject's seizures is a progressive neurologic disease. Subjects with tuberous sclerosis will not be excluded from study participation, unless there is a progressive brain tumor
2. Evidence of clinically significant disease (e.g., cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal disease, hepatic disease) that in the opinion of the investigator(s) could affect the subject's safety or study conduct
3. Subjects who were on adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) therapy in the 6 months prior to baseline
4. Subject on dietary therapy for less than 4 weeks prior to screening visit (Visit 1) or suffers from frequent stooling
5. Current use of felbamate with less than 12 months of continuous exposure
6. Subjects who took vigabatrin in the past must have discontinued it at least 5 months before Visit 1. Subjects taking vigabatrin should have documentation showing no evidence of a vigabatrin-associated visual field abnormality.
7. Subject who had a history of hypoxia which needed emergency resuscitation within 12 months prior to baseline
8. Status epilepticus within 12 weeks prior to Visit 1
9. Any clinically significant illness (including COVID-19) in the 4 weeks prior to Visit 1, as evaluated by the Investigator
10. Subject has clinically significant abnormal laboratory values, in the investigator’s opinion, at Visit 1 or time of randomization (Visit 2)
11. Subject has a history of any serious drug-induced hypersensitivity, e.g., toxic epidermal necrolysis, or Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms [DRESS]) or any drug-related rash requiring hospitalization
12. Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS), Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), Responsive Neurostimulator System (RNS) or other neurostimulation for epilepsy device implanted or activated <5 months prior to enrollment. Stimulation parameters that have been stable for <4 weeks, or Battery life of unit not anticipated to extend for duration of trial.
13. Subject is pregnant, may be pregnant, lactating or planning to be pregnant
14. Any suicidal ideation with intent, with or without a plan within 6 months before Visit 2 (i.e., answering Yes to questions 4 or 5 in the Suicidal Ideation section of the agespecific Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) in subjects aged 6 years and above who are able to be evaluated
15. Any suicidal behavior within 2 years before Visit 2 (i.e., answering YES to any question in the Suicidal behavior section of the age-specific Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) in subjects aged 6 and above who are able to be evaluated.
16. Evidence of significant active hepatic disease. Stable elevations of liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST)) due to concomitant medication(s) will be allowed if they are <3 x ULN
17. Subject with total bilirubin [TBL] >2 x ULN (except for Gilbert’s syndrome).
18. Active viral hepatitis (B or C) as demonstrated by positive serology at the Screening visit (Visit 1)
19. History of positive antibody/antigen test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
20. If taking Epidiolex, subject may not use other approved cannabidiol or over the counter cannabidiol products
21. Scheduled for epilepsy-related surgery, VNS insertion, or any other stimulators/surgery during the projected course of the study
22. Subject who has participated in any clinical study of an investigational product or device in the 30 days prior to the screening visit (Visit 1)
23. Concomitant use of medications
