Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product. It does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A TEAE was defined as any event not present prior to the initiation of the treatment or any event already present that worsens. Any laboratory (clinical chemistry, hematology, urinalysis), 12-lead electrocardiograms, vital signs (temperature, blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate) and physical examination findings deemed by the investigator to be clinically significant were captured as AEs. A SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening, requires the participant be at a risk of death at the time of the event, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital abnormality/birth defect, or other serious event that requires medical or surgical intervention.
Measured: From the first dose of study drug up to Day 17
Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) Assessment
The CGI-I was completed by the parents/caregivers and the investigator and was used to assess participants global status of their condition on Day 11 using a 7-point scale, where 1=very much improved and 7=very much worse since the initiation of treatment.
Measured: Day 11
Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) Assessment
The CGI-S was completed by the parents/caregivers and the Investigator and was used to rate participant's mental illness status at Baseline (Screening) and Day 11 using a 7-point scale, where 1=normal, not mentally ill, and 7=among the most extremely mentally ill participants. This rating is based upon observed and reported symptoms, behavior, and function in the past seven days. The change in CGI-S score at Day 11 relative to Baseline is reported. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement (decreased severity in illness).
Measured: Baseline and Day 11
Change From Baseline in Daily Seizure Activity
The specific number of tonic and atonic seizures per study day were recorded in a diary. The change in number of seizures at Day 11 relative to Baseline is reported. A negative change from Baseline indicates an improvement based on Daily Seizure Activity.
Measured: Baseline and Day 11
Number of Participants With Suicide Related Thoughts and Behaviors Assessed by the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
The C-SSRS captured the occurrence, severity, and frequency of suicide related thoughts and behaviors at Day 11. The C-SSRS was only used for participants ≥ 7 years of age. The number of participants with results of "Yes" for Suicidal Ideation (Wish to be Dead and Non-Specific Active Suicidal Thoughts) and Suicidal Behavior (Actual Attempt, Interrupted Attempt, Aborted Attempt, Preparatory Acts or Behavior, and Suicidal Behavior) are reported.
Measured: Day 11

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label trial designed to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of 3 multiple ascending doses of Cannabidiol Oral Solution in a sequential fashion.
Participants will be pediatric (aged 1-17, inclusive), experiencing treatment-resistant seizures, and satisfy all inclusion/exclusion criteria.

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time frame: From the first dose of study drug up to Day 17
An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product. It does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A TEAE was defined as any event not present prior to the initiation of the treatment or any event already present that worsens. Any laboratory (clinical chemistry, hematology, urinalysis), 12-lead electrocardiograms, vital signs (temperature, blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate) and physical examination findings deemed by the investigator to be clinically significant were captured as AEs. A SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening, requires the participant be at a risk of death at the time of the event, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital abnormality/birth defect, or other serious event that requires medical or surgical intervention.
Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) Assessment
Time frame: Day 11
The CGI-I was completed by the parents/caregivers and the investigator and was used to assess participants global status of their condition on Day 11 using a 7-point scale, where 1=very much improved and 7=very much worse since the initiation of treatment.
Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) Assessment
Time frame: Baseline and Day 11
The CGI-S was completed by the parents/caregivers and the Investigator and was used to rate participant's mental illness status at Baseline (Screening) and Day 11 using a 7-point scale, where 1=normal, not mentally ill, and 7=among the most extremely mentally ill participants. This rating is based upon observed and reported symptoms, behavior, and function in the past seven days. The change in CGI-S score at Day 11 relative to Baseline is reported. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement (decreased severity in illness).
Change From Baseline in Daily Seizure Activity
Time frame: Baseline and Day 11
The specific number of tonic and atonic seizures per study day were recorded in a diary. The change in number of seizures at Day 11 relative to Baseline is reported. A negative change from Baseline indicates an improvement based on Daily Seizure Activity.
Number of Participants With Suicide Related Thoughts and Behaviors Assessed by the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
Time frame: Day 11
The C-SSRS captured the occurrence, severity, and frequency of suicide related thoughts and behaviors at Day 11. The C-SSRS was only used for participants ≥ 7 years of age. The number of participants with results of "Yes" for Suicidal Ideation (Wish to be Dead and Non-Specific Active Suicidal Thoughts) and Suicidal Behavior (Actual Attempt, Interrupted Attempt, Aborted Attempt, Preparatory Acts or Behavior, and Suicidal Behavior) are reported.

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

What does the primary outcome measure?
Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for Cannabidiol and Metabolite 7-hydroxy (7-OH) Cannabidiol (time frame: Day 1 at age-specific times). The study lists 32 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
