What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Discontinuations Due to AEs, Serious AEs, and Treatment-related AEs

    Adverse events (AEs) were defined as any new unfavorable/unintended signs/symptoms (including abnormal laboratory findings when relevant) or diagnosis or worsening of a pre-existing condition that occurs during the study. TEAEs were defined as the AEs that started or worsened in severity or seriousness following the first dose of GWP42003-P. A serious AE was defined as any AE that results in any of the following outcomes: death, life-threatening adverse experience, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, or cancer, any other experience that suggests a significant hazard, contraindication, side effect or precaution that may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above, or an event that changes the risk/benefit ratio of the study.

    Measured: Baseline of randomized controlled trial (RCT) Visit 1 (Day 1) up to Visit 16 (Day 767) in the OLE

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Clinical Laboratory Parameters From the Baseline at Any Time Post-dose

    Treatment-emergent clinical parameters were defined as the following: Treatment-emergent alanine transferase (ALT) > 3×upper limit of normal (ULN), > 5×ULN and > 8×ULN; Treatment-emergent aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 3×ULN, > 5×ULN and > 8×ULN; Treatment-emergent ALT or AST > 3×ULN, > 5×ULN and > 8×ULN; Treatment-emergent ALT or AST > 3×ULN and either bilirubin > 2×ULN or international normalized ratio (INR) > 1.5.

    Measured: Baseline of randomized controlled trial (RCT) Visit 1 (Day 1) up to Visit 14 (Day 729) in the OLE

  3. Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Changes in Vital Sign Values of Blood Pressure From the Baseline at Any Time Post-dose

    Potentially clinically significant vital sign values of blood pressure (BP) were defined as sitting systolic BP (mmHg) change: < -20 or > 20 mmHg and sitting diastolic BP change: < -10 or > 10 mmHg. Vital sign measurements were taken in a sitting position at rest for 5 minutes. Blood pressure readings were recorded using the same arm throughout the trial, when possible.

    Measured: Baseline of randomized controlled trial (RCT) Visit 1 (Day 1) up to Visit 15 (Day 739) in the OLE

  4. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in the Vital Sign Values of Pulse Rate From the Baseline at Any Time Post-dose

    Potentially clinically significant vital sign values of pulse rate were defined as pulse rate change: < -10 or > 10 beats per minute. Vital sign measurements were taken in a sitting position at rest for 5 minutes.

    Measured: Baseline of randomized controlled trial (RCT) Visit 1 (Day 1) up to Visit 15 (Day 739) in the OLE

  5. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Percent Change in Body Weight From the Baseline at Any Time Post-dose

    Clinically significant body weight changes were defined as the percent change in body weight (≤7% change or ≥7% change).

    Measured: Baseline of randomized controlled trial (RCT) Visit 1 (Day 1) up to Visit 14 (Day 729) in the OLE

  6. Number of Participants With At Least One Post Open Label Extension Baseline Flagged ECG Result

    Electrocardiogram assessments were performed for QTcB and QTcF >450 msec, >480 msec, and >500 msec. QTcB = corrected QT interval with Bazette correction. QTcF = QTc corrected by Fridericia.

    Measured: Visit 4 (Day 29) up to Visit 15 (Day 739) in the OLE

  7. Number of Participants With Any Changes In Menstruation Cycle at Any Time Post-dose

    Participants were evaluated for any changes to typical menstrual cycles, duration of menstrual cycles, and typical strength of the menstrual cycles during the study.

    Measured: Baseline of randomized controlled trial (RCT) Visit 1 (Day 1) up to Visit 14 (Day 729) in the OLE

  8. Number of Participants With Suicidal Ideation or Behavior at the Baseline and at Any Time Post-dose

    Suicidal ideation and behavior was assessed by the investigator via a clinical interview with the caregiver. The questionnaire included following questions: Has the child expressed any wish to be dead?, Has the child made any suicide attempts?, Has the child shown any non-suicidal self-injurious behavior? The responses were recorded as Yes/No.

    Measured: Baseline of randomized controlled trial (RCT) Visit 1 (Day 1) up to Visit 14 (Day 729) in the OLE

  9. Mean Change From Baseline in Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) Levels at End of Treatment

    Blood samples were collected to assess changes in serum IGF-1 levels. A negative mean change from baseline indicates a reduction in IGF-1 levels.

    Measured: Baseline of randomized controlled trial (RCT) Visit 1 (Day 1) up to Visit 14 (Day 729) in the OLE

  10. Number of Participants With Changes in Tanner Staging at the Baseline and at End of Treatment

    Pubic hair growth and breast development of all adolescents were assessed by the investigator or caregiver using Tanner Staging categorization from 1 to 5.

    Stage 1- No glandular tissue; areola follows skin contours of chest; No pubic hair Stage 2- Breast bud forms; areola begins to widen; a small amount of long, downy hair with slight pigmentation on labia majora Stage 3- Breast begins to become more elevated and extends beyond borders of the areola, which continues to widen but remains in contour with surrounding breast; Hair becomes more coarse and curly and begins to extend laterally Stage 4- Increased breast size and elevation; areola and papilla form a secondary mound projecting from the contour of the surrounding breast; Adult-like hair quality, extending across pubis but sparing medial thighs Stage 5- Breast reaches final adult size; areola returns to the contour of the surrounding breast, with a projecting central papilla; Hair extends to medial surface of the thigh.

    Measured: Baseline of randomized controlled trial (RCT) Visit 1 (Day 1) up to Visit 14 (Day 729) in the OLE

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Mean Change From Baseline in Rett Syndrome Behaviour Questionnaire (RSBQ) Overall Score at End of Treatment

    RSBQ is a caregiver-completed questionnaire that assesses the overall condition (45 items) in individuals with Rett Syndrome. Each item is rated on a 3-point scale (0-2); 0 indicating an item that is "not true as far as you know," 1 indicating an item is "somewhat or sometimes true," and 2 indicating an item that is "very true or often true". " Item 31 ("Uses eye gaze to convey feelings, needs and wishes") is reverse-scored (0 indicating "very true or often true", 1 indicating "somewhat or sometimes true," and 2 indicating "not true as far as you know"). The total summed score ranges from 0 to 90, with higher scores representing greater severity. A negative mean change from baseline indicates an improvement in overall condition.

    Measured: Baseline of randomized controlled trial (RCT) Visit 1 (Day 1) up to Visit 14 (Day 729) in the OLE

  2. Mean Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement (CGI-I) Continuous Score at End of Treatment

    CGI-I is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to assess whether a patient's condition has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the intervention. This was rated as: 1 = very much improved; 2 = much improved; 3 = minimally improved; 4 = no change; 5 = minimally worse; 6 = much worse; or 7 = very much worse. The mean continuous CGI-I score (averaged from each treatment enrolled under protocol and under annex) at Visit 14 (Day 729) is being reported. Higher mean scores indicate worse condition.

    Measured: Visit 14 (Day 729) in the OLE

  3. Mean Clinician Global Impressions - Severity Scale (CGI-S) Continuous Score at End of Treatment

    CGI-S is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the participant's illness at the time of assessment relative to the clinician's experience with participants who had the same diagnosis. This was rated as: 1 = normal, not at all ill; 2 = borderline ill; 3 = mildly ill; 4 = moderately ill; 5 = markedly ill; 6 =severely ill; or 7 = extremely ill. The mean continuous CGI-S score (averaged from each treatment enrolled under protocol and under annex) at Visit 14 (Day 729) is being reported. Higher scores indicate more severe disease.

    Measured: Visit 14 (Day 729) in the OLE

  4. Mean Change From Baseline in Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) Total Score at End of Treatment

    CSHQ is a caregiver-completed sleep screening instrument designed for school-aged children; which includes 33 items within 8 subscales:bedtime resistance (score range 6-18), sleep onset delay (range 1-3), sleep duration (range 3-9), sleep anxiety (range 4-12), night wakings (range 3-9), parasomnias (range 7-21), sleep-disordered breathing (range 3-9), daytime sleepiness (range 8-24). The 33 items range from 1 to 3, where 3="usually" (≥5 times/week), 2="sometimes" (2-4 times/week), and 1="rarely" (≤1 time/week); for items 31 and 32, 3=fall asleep, 2=very sleepy, 1=not sleepy. A score of 3 indicates greater severity; however, 6 items (1-Goes to bed at same time; 3-Falls asleep in own bed; 26-Wakes by himself; 2-Falls asleep in 20 minutes; 10-Sleeps the right amount; 11-Sleeps same amount each day) are reverse scored. The total summed score ranges from 33 to 99, with higher scores indicating disturbed sleep behavior. A negative mean change from baseline indicates improvement in sleep.

    Measured: Baseline of randomized controlled trial (RCT) Visit 1 (Day 1) up to Visit 14 (Day 729) in the OLE

  5. Mean Change From Baseline in 9-item Motor Behavioral Assessment (MBA-9) Total Score at End of Treatment

    MBA-9 is derived from the full MBA scale (37 Rett syndrome symptoms) by selecting the items deemed amenable to change and which reflected areas of meaningful clinical change. The MBA-9 includes 9 items (Regression of motor skills; Poor eye/social contact; Lack of sustained interest; Does not reach for objects or people; Chewing difficulties; Speech disturbance; Hand clumsiness; Dystonia; and Hypertonia/rigidity). For each item, the severity of current symptoms is rated by the investigator on a 5-point numerical scale ranging from 0 to 4 with higher scores representing greater severity (0 = normal or never; 1 = mild or rare; 2 = moderate or occasional; 3 = marked or frequent; 4 = very severe or constant). Total MBA-9 score was calculated by summing the scores of 9 different subscale items. The total summed score ranges from 0 to 36, with higher scores representing greater severity. A negative mean change from baseline indicates improvement in behavior.

    Measured: Baseline of randomized controlled trial (RCT) Visit 1 (Day 1) up to Visit 14 (Day 729) in the OLE

A Phase 3 study testing GWP42003-P in people with Rett Syndrome and RTT, run by Jazz Pharmaceuticals at 31 sites in 6 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 31 sites in United States, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, Australia and 1 more country. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Aug 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Discontinuations Due to AEs, Serious AEs, and Treatment-related AEs (time frame: Baseline of randomized controlled trial (RCT) Visit 1 (Day 1) up to Visit 16 (Day 767) in the OLE). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Aug 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
