CBD study for baby seizures halted early

NCT ID NCT04485104

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a cannabidiol (CBD) oral solution in children under 2 years old with tuberous sclerosis complex, Dravet syndrome, or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome who had uncontrolled seizures. The goal was to see if CBD is safe and can reduce seizures. However, the study was terminated early after enrolling only 3 participants, so we have very little information about how well it works or its risks in this young age group.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a treatment option to reduce seizures in very young children with these rare conditions.
