Study population

The study will comprise of 70-100 male and female participants, aged ≥ 2 years, diagnosed with LGS, DS, and TSC. The decision to prescribe Epidyolex® as adjunctive therapy for seizures associated with LGS, DS, and TSC will be entirely independent of including the participant in the study.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adult patients, and minor patients ≥ 2 years old diagnosed with LGS, DS or TSC.
  • Clinical decision, taken by the physician, to initiate Epidyolex®
  • Adult participants, parents or legal representatives must be willing and able to give /assent for participation in the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants currently using or have used recreational, medicinal cannabis, or cannabinoid-based products within the three months prior to study entry and are unwilling to abstain from these products for the duration of the study.
  • Any reason, according to Investigator's judgment, able to compromise compliance with procedures outlined in the study There will not be any other specific exclusion criteria; however, , special warnings, and precautions for use as detailed in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) (particularly related to raising of [AST], alanine aminotransferase [ALT], and total ) will have to be considered by the treating physician.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants Remaining on Therapy from Enrollment

    Treatment retention will be evaluated through the proportion of participants remaining on therapy from the enrollment visit (baseline, V0) to each study visit (Weeks 4 \[V1\], 16 \[V2\], 28 \[V3\], 40 \[V4\], 52 \[V5\]).

    Time frame: Baseline up to Week 52 post-dose.

    Time frame: Weeks 4 (V1), 16 (V2), 28 (V3), 40 (V4) and 52 (V5)

  2. Longest Duration of Seizure Free Days in the Last 28 Days

    Time frame: Weeks 4 (V1), 16 (V2), 28 (V3), 40 (V4) and 52 (V5)

  3. Average Maintenance Dose of Epidyolex®

    Time frame: Weeks 4 (V1), 16 (V2), 28 (V3), 40 (V4) and 52 (V5)

  4. Maximum Maintenance Dose of Epidyolex®

    Time frame: Weeks 4 (V1), 16 (V2), 28 (V3), 40 (V4) and 52 (V5)

  5. Type, Dosage, and Frequency of Concomitant Anti-Seizure Medications (ASMs)

    Time frame: Weeks 4 (V1), 16 (V2), 28 (V3), 40 (V4) and 52 (V5)

  6. Number of Participants Reducing Number/Dosage of Concomitant Medication Related to Epilepsy

    Time frame: Weeks 4 (V1), 16 (V2), 28 (V3), 40 (V4) and 52 (V5)

  7. Change from Baseline to Week 28 (V3) in the Child Behavior Check List (CBCL)

    The CBCL is a standardized form that parents fill out to describe their children's behavioral and emotional problems(e.g., anxiety, depression, social problems). The CBCL is also scored on (optional) competence scales for activities, social relations, school and total competence. The CBCL consists of 113 questions, scored on a three-point Likert scale (0=absent, 1= occurs sometimes, 2=occurs often). A higher score indicates a worse outcome.

    Time frame: Baseline to week 28 (V3) post-dose.

  8. Change from Baseline to Week 52 (V5) in the Child Behavior Check List (CBCL)

    The CBCL is a standardized form that parents fill out to describe their children's behavioral and emotional problems(e.g., anxiety, depression, social problems). The CBCL is also scored on (optional) competence scales for activities, social relations, school and total competence. The CBCL consists of 113 questions, scored on a three-point Likert scale (0=absent, 1= occurs sometimes, 2=occurs often). A higher score indicates a worse outcome.

    Time frame: Baseline to week 52 (V5) post-dose.

  9. Change from Baseline to Week 28 (V3) in the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of 10 Non-seizure Related Outcomes (NSRO)

    VAS assessments are based on 10 NSRO (i.e., Alertness, Sleep Disorder, Motor Skills, Attention, Cognition, Communication, Behavior, Emotional/Social Functioning, Activities of Daily Living, and Participation). VAS is measured on a scale of 0-100; a score of 0 indicates a better outcome, and a score of 100 indicates a worse outcome.

    Time frame: Baseline to week 28 (V3) post-dose.

  10. Change from Baseline to Week 52 (V5) in the VAS of 10 NSRO

    VAS assessments are based on 10 NSRO (i.e., Alertness, Sleep Disorder, Motor Skills, Attention, Cognition, Communication, Behavior, Emotional/Social Functioning, Activities of Daily Living, and Participation). VAS is measured on a scale of 0-100; a score of 0 indicates a better outcome, and a score of 100 indicates a worse outcome.

    Time frame: Baseline to week 52 (V5) post-dose.

    The CGIC evaluates efficacy and quality of life. At enrollment the investigator will be asked to write a brief description of the patient's overall condition as a memory aid for assessment at each subsequent appointment. The CGIC comprises of the following question: "Since your child started treatment, please assess the status of your child's overall condition (comparing their condition now to their condition before treatment) using the scale below." The questionnaire is rated on a seven-point scale: "Very Much Improved" (1); "Much Improved" (2);Slightly Improved" (3); "No Change" (4); "Slightly Worse" (5); "Much Worse" (6); "Very Much Worse" (7). A score of 1 indicates a better outcome and a score of 7 indicates a worse outcome.

    Time frame: Week 28 (V3) post-dose.

  12. Average CGIC Score at Week 52 (V5)

    The CGIC evaluates efficacy and quality of life. At enrollment the investigator will be asked to write a brief description of the patient's overall condition as a memory aid for assessment at each subsequent appointment. The CGIC comprises of the following question: "Since your child started treatment, please assess the status of your child's overall condition (comparing their condition now to their condition before treatment) using the scale below." The questionnaire is rated on a seven-point scale: "Very Much Improved" (1); "Much Improved" (2);Slightly Improved" (3); "No Change" (4); "Slightly Worse" (5); "Much Worse" (6); "Very Much Worse" (7). A score of 1 indicates a better outcome and a score of 7 indicates a worse outcome.

    Time frame: Week 52 (V5) post-dose.

  13. Average Caregiver Global Impression of Change in Seizure Duration (CGICSD) Score at Week 28 (V3)

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 3, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
