Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Subjects who had previously received GW-1000-02 in a GW study who opted to continue using it in the long-term were monitored for ongoing tolerability and evidence of clinical benefit.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

Subjects who had previously participated in a placebo controlled GW clinical study were screened and if eligible began dosing with GW-1000-02. Subjects were reviewed for tolerability and evidence of clinical benefit at weeks two and four and then every eight weeks. Subjects self-titrated to symptom resolution or maximum tolerated/allowable dose of 130 mg THC and 120 mg CBD.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: GW-1000-02

Active treatment

Drug: GW-1000-02
Contained delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (27 mg/ml) and cannabidiol (CBD) (25 mg/ml) as extract of Cannabis sativa L., with peppermint oil, 0.05% (v/v), in ethanol:propylene glycol (50:50) excipient. Each 100 μl actuation of the pump action spray delivered 2.7 mg THC and 2.5 mg CBD. A maximum daily exposure of 130 mg THC was specified by the UK regulatory authority authorisation.

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Incidence of Adverse Events as a Measure of Subject Safety. [Up to 1051 days]

      Following data entry, all adverse events were medically encoded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) 6.0. All subjects who experienced an adverse event during the treatment period is presented.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

      Subjects were asked to rate the severity of their primary symptom each week in the diary using an 11-point Numerical Rating Scale, where zero = "best possible" and 10 = "worst possible". A negative value indicates an improvement in score from baseline.
