Real-World study tracks Epidyolex's Long-Term impact on seizures
NCT ID NCT05772429
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 158 people in France who are prescribed Epidyolex (a cannabidiol-based medicine) for seizures as part of their normal care. Researchers will track how long people stay on the treatment, side effects, seizure frequency, and changes in daily functioning and quality of life over two years. The goal is to understand how well Epidyolex works in real-world settings outside of controlled clinical trials.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Epidyolex (cannabidiol oral solution)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm how well Epidyolex works in everyday practice and help doctors better manage seizures long-term.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be influenced by other factors. It does not test a new treatment, only monitors existing use.
