Dose-Ranging Effect of Adjunctive Oral Cannabidiol vs Placebo on Convulsive Seizure Frequency in Dravet Syndrome A Randomized Clinical Trial
Get PDFQuestion Is adjunctive cannabidiol at doses of 10 and 20 mg/kg/d
superior to placebo in reducing convulsive seizure frequency in
patients with Dravet syndrome?
Findings This double-blind clinical trial randomized 199 children
with Dravet syndrome to cannabidiol (10 or 20 mg/kg/d) or
matched placebo for 14 weeks. Convulsive seizure frequency
compared with baseline was reduced by 48.7% in the 10-mg/kg/d
cannabidiol group and 45.7% in the 20-mg/kg/d cannabidiol
group vs 26.9% in the placebo group.
Meaning Both doses of adjunctive cannabidiol were similarly
efficacious in reducing convulsive seizures associated with Dravet
syndrome
