Weeding out the Controversy:

Cannabidiol in Drug Resistant

Pediatric Epilepsy

• The author has no conflicts of interest to disclose.

Conflicts of Interest

2

• Compare and contrast the properties of tetrahydrocannabinol

and cannabidiol

• Evaluate the observational and clinical literature regarding

cannabidiol use

• Discuss cannabidiol’s potential place in therapy for resistant

epilepsy

Objectives

3

• Lifetime prevalence of epilepsy: 10.2 per 1,000 (1%)

• Current epilepsy: 6.3 per 1,000 (0.6%)

• No difference in responder rates based on seizure types

- e.g. generalized tonic-clonic, focal, absence, myoclonic

• Responder rate between epilepsy syndromes:

- Lennox-Gastaut: 8/9 (89%)

- Dravet: 3/13 (23%)

- Myoclonic astatic epilepsy: 0/3 (0%)

• Responder rate was different between families who had

moved to Colorado for treatment vs. already had

established care in Colorado

• Most parents with children using cannabis products to

aide in seizure control believe that it has a beneficial effect

• Bias

- Small sample sizes

- Voluntary response and confirmation bias

- Product and dose not standardized

• Parents know their children best

Observational Studies: Summary

25

• Many parents reported an increase in seizure frequency

with the addition of cannabidiol to their child’s therapy.

• Bias

- All funded by GW Pharmaceuticals

- Questionable application to epilepsy syndromes beyond LGS & DS

- Titration schedules not clearly defined which limits patient application

• 37-44% decrease in monthly seizure frequency

• 37-43% experienced a reduction by > 50%

• High rates of ADRs reported, even in placebo group

• Most ADRs were mild-moderate in nature

Epidiolex® Clinical Trials: Summary

• Clinical trials of Epidiolex® in pediatric patients with Lennox-

Gastaut and Dravet syndrome have shown a reduction in

seizure frequency in the interventional arm compared to the

placebo arm.

Other Dilemmas

37

Success of

CBD oil in

reducing

seizures

AED Discontinuation

Belief that

“natural”

products are

safer and

healthier

Abrupt AED

discontinuation

without

physician

knowledge

AED: antiepileptic drug

CBD: cannabidiol 38

• If hospitalized, asked to stop use of CBD oil

• Will this cause the patient’s seizures to become uncontrolled?

• Will the serum concentration of other AEDs decrease

resulting in loss of seizure control?

Unfair Expectations

AED: antiepileptic drugs

CBD: cannabidiol 39

Hope from

positive

results

Extrapolations

Stigma

surrounding

cannabis

products

Initiation of

therapy without

physician

knowledge

• Is this appropriate for anyone with uncontrolled epilepsy?

40

Looking ahead…

• New drug application currently in progress • Expected to be completed in October

• Future plans: • Expanding products to include other cannabinoid products

• Research for other indications

• Autism spectrum disorders

• Rett Syndrome

• Neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy

• Glioblastoma

• Partial onset epilepsy

41

• Who: LGS or DS patients

• What: add on therapy

• When: after trial and failure of at least 2 AEDs

• How:

- Initiate at 2.5 mg/kg/day divided into 2 doses

- Increase by 2.5 mg/kg/day every 2 days

- Up to a maximum dose of 20 mg/kg/day as tolerated
