March 18, 2016

GW Pharmaceuticals saw positive results in a Phase 3 study evaluating its epilepsy candidate Epidiolex for the treatment of Dravet syndrome.

Patients treated with Epidiolex experienced a “significant reduction” in seizure frequency versus the placebo.

GW has two ongoing Phase 3 trials evaluating Epidiolex in Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and second Phase 3 trial in Dravet syndrome.

Additionally, Epidiolex garnered fast track status from the FDA and orphan drug designation from the European Commission for Dravet syndrome.
