Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Experimental: 10 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P - GWP42003-P oral solution (100 mg/milliliter \[mL\] cannabidiol in sesame oil with anhydrous ethanol with added sweetener \[sucralose\] and strawberry flavoring). The 10 mg/kg/day dose was defined as 50% of the 20 mg/kg/day dose.

Experimental: 20 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P - GWP42003-P oral solution (100 mg/mL cannabidiol in sesame oil with anhydrous ethanol with added sweetener \[sucralose\] and strawberry flavoring). The 20 mg/kg/day dose was recommended by the DSMC after assessment of safety and pharmacokinetic data from Part A of study GWEP1332 (NCT02091206).

Placebo comparator: Placebo Control - Excipients only. Participants were pooled from 2 placebo cohorts, half receiving 10 mg/kg/day dose-volume equivalent and half receiving 20 mg/kg/day dose-volume equivalent.
