PROTOCOL SYNOPSIS 
Trial Title 
An Open-label Extension Trial to Investigate the Long-term Safety 
of Cannabidiol Oral Solution (GWP42003-P, CBD-OS) in Patients 
with Rett Syndrome 
Clinical Trial Type 
Phase 3 
Indication 
Rett syndrome (RTT) [typical or atypical] 
Primary Objective 
To evaluate the long-term safety of GWP42003-P in patients with 
RTT 
Secondary 
Objective(s) 
Secondary objectives: 
• To evaluate the effect of GWP42003-P in measures of disease 
severity 
o Rett Syndrome Behaviour Questionnaire (RSBQ) 
o Clinical Global Impressions - Improvement (CGI-I) 
o Clinical Global Impressions - Severity (CGI-S) 
o 9-items Motor Behavioral Assessment (MBA-9) 
o Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) 
Exploratory objectives: 
• To evaluate the effect of GWP42003-P on caregiver and 
patient quality of life (QoL) 
o 36-item Short Form [SF-36] and Child Health 
Questionnaire Parent Form 50 [CHQ-PF50], 
respectively 
• To evaluate the effect of GWP42003-P on health utilization 
o Hospital Services Use Questionnaire 
o Caregiver Assessment of Rett Symptoms 
Trial Design 
This is a 28-week, multicenter, open-label extension (OLE) trial 
for patients with RTT who have completed the randomized, 
double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (GWND18064).   
Entry to this OLE trial is recommended to be on the same day as 
Visit 9 of the randomized controlled trial (RCT); however, patients 
may enter the OLE trial up to the point of the RCT follow-up visit 
(Visit 11).   
All patients entering this OLE trial will begin dosing with 
5 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P (2.5 mg/kg twice daily [b.i.d.]) on 
Day 1.  Patients will be observed, and after 1 week, the dose may 
be escalated further, at the investigator’s discretion, up to 
15 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P (7.5 mg/kg b.i.d.), in weekly

increments of 5 mg/kg/day (2.5 mg/kg b.i.d.).   
Patients should then remain on a stable dose of GWP42003-P for 
the duration of the maintenance period of the trial (up to 
28 weeks), with the option for doses to be decreased or increased 
to a maximum dose of 20 mg/kg/day (10 mg/kg b.i.d.) based on 
clinical response and tolerability as deemed necessary by the 
investigator, until the optimal dose is found.  Patients whose dose 
has been decreased can have their dose increased again if 
tolerability improves.  
At the end of treatment (Visit 8 [Day 197]), the dose of 
GWP42003-P will be reduced over a 10-day taper period, and 
patients will enter the 4-week follow-up period.  
If a patient permanently discontinues treatment at any point during 
the trial, GWP42003-P should be gradually reduced over 10 days 
(unless inadvisable due to an adverse event [AE]).  
The patient should attend a withdrawal visit (Visit 8) as soon as 
possible after the decision is made to permanently discontinue 
GWP42003-P. Unless inadvisable due to an AE, the patient will 
taper GWP42003-P and attend the End of Taper visit and then 
complete the 4-week follow-up period.   
Primary Endpoint 
Safety: 
The long-term safety profile of GWP42003-P will be assessed by 
evaluating changes in the following, relative to the 
prerandomization baseline of the RCT: 
• AEs 
• Clinical laboratory parameters 
• Vital signs 
• Physical examination procedures 
• 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) 
• Effects on menstruation cycles 
• Suicidality 
• Change in growth and development by measurement of 
height, weight, serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) 
levels, and Tanner Staging (for patients aged ≥ 7 years or 
earlier, if clinically indicated by the onset of menarche or 
other signs of precocious puberty) 
Secondary 
Endpoint(s)

or nasogastric (NG) feeding tube (only G- or NG-tubes 
made from polyurethane or silicon are allowed). 
• Patient and/or parent(s)/legal representative is willing to 
allow the responsible authorities to be notified of 
participation in the trial, if mandated by local law. 
• Patient and/or parent(s)/legal representative is willing to 
allow the patient’s primary care practitioner (if she has one) 
and consultant (if she has one) to be notified of 
participation in the trial if the primary care 
practitioner/consultant is different from the investigator. 
Exclusion criteria  
If the RCT ‘End of Treatment’/‘End of Taper Period’ visit 
assessments or Visit 1 reassessments (as applicable) raise any 
safety concerns, the investigator should consider whether it will be 
appropriate for the patient to continue to participate in the OLE 
trial or if the patient should be withdrawn. 
The patient may not enter the trial if ANY of the following apply: 
• Patient meets the withdrawal criteria (including clinically 
significant abnormal laboratory values), in the 
investigator’s opinion.  
• Patient met during the RCT the criteria for permanent IMP 
discontinuation (unless in case of an AE, if AE was not 
considered related with the IMP; patients that met alanine 
aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 
elevations discontinuation criteria must be excluded). 
• Patient is of childbearing potential, unless willing to ensure 
that they or their partner use a highly effective method of 
birth control (e.g., combined [estrogen and progestogen 
containing] hormonal contraceptiona associated with 
inhibition of ovulation [oral, intravaginal or transdermal], 
progestogen-only hormonal contraceptiona associated with 
inhibition of ovulation [oral, injectable or implantableb] 
intrauterine devices/hormone-releasing systemsc, bilateral 
                                                 
a The effect of GWP42003-P on oral contraceptives has not been investigated.  GWP42003-P is 
not an inducer of CYP3A4 and therefore is not expected to alter the PK of hormonal 
contraceptives. 
b Contraception methods that are considered to have low user dependency. 
c Contraception methods that are considered to have low user dependency.

tubal occlusiona, vasectomized partnera,a, sexual 
abstinenceb during the trial and for 3 months thereafter. 
• Patient has been previously enrolled and dosed in this trial. 
• Patient is unwilling to abstain from donation of blood 
during the trial. 
Criteria for 
Withdrawal 
Patient must be withdrawn from the trial if any of the following 
apply: 
• Administrative decision by the investigator, GW Research 
Ltd (GW), or a regulatory authority 
• Pregnancy 
• Protocol deviation that is considered to potentially 
compromise the safety of the patient 
• Withdrawal of patient assent 
• Withdrawal of parent(s)/legal representative consent 
• ALT or AST > 3 × upper limit of normal (ULN) with the 
appearance of fatigue, nausea, vomiting, right upper 
quadrant pain, or tenderness, fever, rash, and/or 
eosinophilia (> 5%) 
• ALT or AST > 8 × ULN 
• ALT or AST > 5 × ULN for more than 2 weeks 
• ALT or AST > 3 × ULN and (total bilirubin [TBL] 
> 2 × ULN or international normalized ratio [INR] > 1.5) 
Note: Prior to withdrawal for the transaminase elevations noted 
above, the investigator may choose to confirm the transaminase 
elevations by repeating the following laboratory tests within 24 
to 48 hours: ALT, AST, TBL, INR, % eosinophils, gamma-
glutamyl transferase,  alkaline phosphatase, and eosinophils.  
Should the above transaminase elevation criteria be 
confirmed, the patient must be withdrawn from the trial.  
In cases where the transaminase elevation withdrawal 
criteria are not met or confirmed, the dose of IMP or a 
concomitant medication with known hepatotoxicity may be 
                                                 
a Provided that partner is the sole sexual partner of the trial patient of childbearing potential and 
that the vasectomized partner has received medical assessment of the surgical success. 
b Only if defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk 
associated with the trial treatments.  The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in 
relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient.

reduced.  Dose adjustments should be discussed with the 
GW medical monitor.  The final decision regarding dose 
adjustments should be taken by the investigator. 
• Lost to follow-up. 
The patient may also be withdrawn from the trial for any of the 
following: 
• Patient or caregiver noncompliance 
• AE (including clinically significant laboratory results) that, 
in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the 
continued safe participation of the patient in the trial 
• Failure to meet the eligibility criteria 
• Any evidence of use of drugs of abuse or drug diversion 
• Suicidal ideation or behavior during the treatment period 
Investigational 
Medicinal Product: 
Formulation, Mode 
of Administration, 
Dose, and Regimen 
GWP42003-P oral solution is formulated as follows: (100 mg/mL 
cannabidiol [CBD] in sesame oil with anhydrous ethanol, 
sweetener [sucralose], and strawberry flavoring).  
GWP42003-P is to be taken orally (swallowed) b.i.d. (morning and 
evening) using the syringe(s) provided.  GWP42003-P should be 
taken at the same time each day consistently with food, i.e., within 
30 minutes after the end of a meal and in line with the patients’ 
normal feeding schedule and dietary habits.  The time of 
GWP42003-P administration in relation to food should be kept 
consistent throughout the trial.  In patients with G- or NG-tubes but 
where oral dosing of GWP42003-P is possible, oral dosing is 
preferable.  Only in patients where oral dosing is not possible 
should GWP42003-P be administered via G- or NG-tubes made 
from polyurethane or silicon only  The investigator should contact 
the medical monitor to review IMP administration guidelines if 
administration via G-or NG-tubes is planned.  The volume of 
GWP42003-P will be determined by patient’s weight.   
All patients will begin dosing with 5 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P 
(2.5 mg/kg b.i.d.) for 1 week.  After 1 week’s treatment, depending 
on clinical response and tolerability, the patients’ dose can be 
further increased in weekly increments of 5 mg/kg/day (2.5 mg/kg 
b.i.d.) up to 15 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P (7.5 mg/kg b.i.d.).   
Patients should then remain on a stable dose of GWP42003-P for 
the duration of the maintenance period of the trial (up to 
28 weeks), with the option for doses to be decreased or increased 
to a maximum dose of 20 mg/kg/day (10 mg/kg b.i.d.) based on 
clinical response and tolerability, as deemed necessary by the 
investigator.

Patients discontinuing GWP42003-P treatment at the end of the 
trial or at any other time if they discontinue treatment early should 
undergo a 10-day taper period (unless continued dosing is 
inadvisable, e.g., due to an AE). 
Control Group 
Not applicable. 
Procedures 
Before the patient undergoes any assessments or observations, the 
patient’s parent(s)/legal representative is required to give written 
informed consent.  The nominated caregiver will be asked to 
consent to complete the QoL questionnaires.  In cases where the 
patient possesses adequate understanding, her assent will be taken, 
along with parent(s)/legal representative consent.  Due to the 
degree of cognitive impairment in patients with RTT, patients 18 
years of age or older will not be required to provide consent and 
will only be required to provide assent in cases where the patient 
possesses adequate understanding, along with parent(s)/legal 
representative consent.  Visits 2, 3, and 10 (safety visits) are to be 
conducted by telephone.   
OLE Visit 1 (Day 1): Every effort should be made for this visit to 
take place on the same day as the RCT ‘End of Treatment’ visit.  
However, patients can still enter the OLE trial up to the point of 
the RCT follow-up visit (Visit 11).   
OLE Visit 1 assessments required for all patients: 
• 
Informed consent and assent  
• 
Eligibility check 
• 
New medical history 
• 
AE review 
• 
GWP42003-P dispensing 
OLE Visit 1 assessments required if OLE Visit 1 occurs on a 
different date than RCT Visit 9: 
• 
Vital signs 
• 
Suicidality assessment 
• 
Hospital Services Use Questionnaire  
OLE Visit 1 assessments required if OLE Visit 1 occurs 
> 28 days after RCT Visit 9: 
• 
Physical examination (including weight) 
• 
ECG 
• 
Clinical laboratory blood sampling (hematology and 
biochemistry) 
• 
Dipstick urinalysis (where possible)

• GWP42003-P collection and compliance review (Visits 4, 5, 6, 
7, 8, and 9) 
• Caregivers are asked to confirm dosing in the dosing schedule 
daily throughout the trial; the dosing schedule will be reviewed 
at Visits 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. 
Statistical 
Considerations 
All data that will be collected during this trial will be summarized 
across time, using appropriate descriptive statistics.  Where 
baseline data are available from the RCT, changes from baseline 
will also be presented, where appropriate.  There will be no formal 
hypothesis testing.  A detailed statistical analysis plan will be 
written.

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE 
3.1 
Disease 
Rett syndrome is a rare, noninherited, X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder affecting 
approximately 1 in 10,000 live female births, resulting in abnormal neuronal 
development and function.1,2  Rett syndrome is one of the leading causes of intellectual 
disability in young girls and is only rarely seen in males.  Development of RTT is 
progressive, with early onset at 6 to 18 months characterized by a subtle slowing or 
regression of development.  Infants/young children aged 1 to 4 years progress to a rapid 
destructive phase characterized by loss of purposeful hand skills with stereotypic hand 
movements, loss of spoken language, breathing irregularities such as apnea and 
hyperventilation, cardiac irregularities, microcephaly, and autistic-like behaviors such as 
social withdrawal.  After a period of regression, the disorder enters a plateau phase 
associated with apraxia, motor problems, and seizures.  Over time, motor function 
continues to deteriorate, resulting in reduced mobility, scoliosis, rigidity, muscular 
weakness, and spasticity.3,4,5  
Rett syndrome is most commonly caused by heterozygous de novo mutations in the gene 
encoding methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2).6  Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 is 
widely expressed in many tissues, with the highest expression in the brain7; MeCP2 is 
essential for nerve cell function, acting as a complex transcriptional modulator of genes 
involved in neuronal development, synaptic transmission, and plasticity, including brain-
derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).8  However, mutations in MECP2 are not 
synonymous with RTT.  Between 3% and 5% of individuals who strictly meet clinical 
criteria for RTT do not have an identified mutation in MECP2, and only 50% to 70% of 
patients with atypical RTT have an identified mutation in MECP2.9  Moreover, 
cyclin-dependent kinase-like (CDKL5) and Forkhead box protein G1 (FOXG1) gene 
mutations are associated with 2 other variant forms of RTT.  Given that MECP2 
mutations are neither necessary nor sufficient to make the diagnosis of RTT, diagnostic 
criteria are often utilized9 at initial diagnosis. 
A number of genetic mouse models of RTT are available, where the deficiency of 
MeCP2, globally or specifically in developing neurons, produces similar clinical features 
to those in humans, including tremors, motor impairments, and stereotypical 
motions.10,11,12  Genetic and pharmacological intervention can ameliorate or reverse

behavioral deficits in Mecp2 knockout (KO) mice, suggesting that there is significant 
potential for pharmacological interventions to treat RTT.13 
Aberrant synaptic plasticity and an imbalance of excitatory and inhibitory neuronal 
networks is thought to underlie the neurological phenotype in RTT.14  Besides these 
neuronal deficits in RTT, there is evidence that neuroinflammation and glial cells may 
play a role.  Selective restoration of MeCP2 in astrocytes significantly improved 
locomotion and anxiety levels, restored respiratory functions, and greatly prolonged 
lifespan in mice, with modified astrocytes compared with control Mecp2 KO mice.  
Restoration of MeCP2 in astrocytes also returned dendritic morphology to normal.15  
Microglia from Mecp2 KO mice demonstrate enhanced release of glutamate, which is 
associated with neuronal toxicity, and also show impaired phagocytosis.16  There is also 
increasing evidence that the immune system and inflammation may be involved in 
several neurodevelopmental disorders, including RTT.17  In addition, symptoms such as 
hyperventilation and apnea can be indicative of mitochondrial dysfunction, and before the 
advent of genetic testing, RTT was proposed to be a metabolic disorder.  Changes in the 
morphology of mitochondria and genes associated with these structures as well as redox 
balance have been demonstrated in patients with RTT, but it is not clear whether some of 
these changes are a primary cause or secondary to these mechanisms.18  Finally, mouse 
models have highlighted a potential role of the growth factors, BDNF and insulin-like 
growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in the pathology of RTT19 an involvement that is corroborated by 
efficacy in clinical trials targeting these agents.20 
There is currently no curative therapy for RTT, and therefore, there is a critical need for 
treatments.21  Medical management of RTT is essentially symptomatic and supportive.  
Current options for patients focus on managing the associated conditions and include the 
use of medications to control breathing problems, heart rhythm abnormalities, seizures, 
constipation, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and sleep disturbances.22  Other therapy 
options include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and feeding 
assistance (feeding tubes or other feeding aids).21

Investigational Medicinal Product Background 
The investigational medicinal product (IMP), GWP42003-P, is formulated from extracts 
prepared from Cannabis sativa L. plants that have a defined chemical profile and contain 
consistent levels of cannabidiol (CBD) as the principal phytocannabinoid.  Extracts from

these plants are processed to yield purified (≥ 98%) CBD that typically contains 
< 0.1% (weight by weight) Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (for oral formulations).  The 
purified CBD is subsequently dissolved in excipients with added sweetener and flavoring. 
Cannabidiol possesses very low affinity and lacks appreciable functional activity at 
cannabinoid (CB) receptors, cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) and cannabinoid receptor 
type 2 (CB2).23  In addition, CBD does not significantly interact with enzymes 
responsible for the synthesis and degradation of endocannabinoids at clinically relevant 
concentrations.24,25,26,27  Furthermore, considerable data describing the 
polypharmacology of CBD and its modulation of nonendocannabinoid system targets 
exist.  Indeed, CBD has the ability to interact with multiple 7-transmembrane receptor 
systems, ion channels, transporters, and enzymes.28,29 
At least 2 mechanisms of anticonvulsant action are proposed for CBD.  The first is 
modulation of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization via antagonism of the G protein-coupled 
receptor 55 (GPR55) and/or activation (and subsequent desensitization) of transient 
receptor potential (TRP) channels, particularly transient receptor potential cation channel 
subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1).30,31,32  The second is inhibition of adenosine 
reuptake.33,34,35 
Based on the lack of pharmacological engagement by CBD at therapeutically relevant 
concentrations, modulation of the following targets is considered not relevant to the 
anticonvulsant mechanism of action: CB1 and CB2 receptors, fatty acid amide hydrolase, 
voltage-gated sodium channels, benzodiazepine, and γ-aminobutryic acid (GABA) 
binding sites of the GABAA receptor. 
Importantly, CBD does not produce THC-like euphoric effects.  Furthermore, CBD 
demonstrates anticonvulsant, antipsychotic, anxiolytic, neuroprotective, antioxidant, and 
anti-inflammatory activity in a range of nonclinical models and has received Food and 
Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the treatment of seizures associated with the 
Lennox-Gastaut syndrome or the Dravet syndrome in patients 2 years of age and older.36

Efficacy Pharmacology 
In a subchronic phencyclidine (PCP) model in rats where there is disruption of cognition 
and deficits in social behavior, CBD reversed the PCP-induced recognition memory

deficit at doses of 2, 20, and 100 mg/kg intraperitoneal (i.p.)37 and significantly reduced 
the subchronic PCP-induced increase in avoidance behavior at 2, 10, 20, and 100 mg/kg 
i.p.38  In addition, CBD improved cognitive deficits in other nonclinical models, 
including Fmr1 KO mice, a model of Fragile X syndrome, at 100 and 200 mg/kg i.p. and 
improved bicuculline-induced memory impairments in neonatal rats at 100 mg/kg i.p.39  
Cannabidiol also improved hypoxic ischemia in rats (1 mg/kg subcutaneous)40 and 
piglets (1 mg/kg i.v.)41 when CBD was given post hypoxia-ischemia injury.   
Cellular mechanisms that are thought to be involved in the neurobehavioral deficits 
present in RTT include aberrant synaptic plasticity14, neuroinflammation15,16 and 
immune17 and metabolic malfunction.18,42  A number of studies demonstrate that CBD 
may have the potential to modulate each of these basic pathophysiological mechanisms43 
albeit not in RTT models.  For example, CBD has the potential to modulate 
excitatory/inhibitory imbalance, as demonstrated by its anticonvulsant 
activity.44,45,46,47,48  Cannabidiol also shows anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions in 
a number of accepted animal models of inflammation, notably of the gut and the joints, 
where it inhibits the tissue production of chemical mediators of inflammation, such as 
tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-2.49  Cannabidiol (1 mg/kg i.v.) also reverses 
hypoxic ischemia-induced neuroinflammation, reactive oxygen species production, and 
excitatory and metabolic derangement in rats40 and piglets41 after a hypoxic ischemic 
insult.   
Loss of language and ability to communicate is also a feature of RTT.4  In a songbird 
model of vocal learning, damage to a cortical-like premotor region of the zebra finch 
brain results in a temporary disruption of vocal patterns that recovers over about 7 days 
and is dependent on the ability of birds to hear as part of sensorimotor learning.  
Cannabidiol 10 and 100 mg/kg (intramuscular) improved the phonology and syntax of the 
zebra finch song over the first 6 to 9 days post lesion.50 
Finally, there is evidence that cannabidivarin, a cannabinoid structurally similar to CBD 
that shares molecular and behavioral pharmacology, rescued behavioral and brain 
alterations in MeCP2-308 male mice51 a validated RTT model, including improvement of 
general health status, sociability, and brain weight, with partial restoration of motor 
coordination.

3.2.1.2 
Safety Pharmacology 
In a rat primary observation Irwin test of central nervous system function, no behavioral, 
physiological, or body temperature changes were observed following administration of 
CBD botanical drug substance (BDS) at 10 to 100 mg/kg.52 
In the cardiovascular system, CBD as CBD BDS inhibited human ether-à-go-go-related 
gene tail current in a concentration-dependent manner52 (no-observed-effect level 
[NOEL], 43 ng/mL) and had no effect on Purkinje fiber action potentials or QT interval 
changes52 (NOEL, 22 ng/ml).  Changes in cardiovascular parameters (heart rate, blood 
pressure, and electrocardiogram [ECG]) in the conscious dog were not considered to be 
adverse.52 
In the respiratory system, CBD as CBD BDS had no biologically significant effect on 
respiratory parameters in conscious rats.52 
3.2.1.3 
Mechanism of Action 
Cannabidiol has micromolar affinity/potency at several molecular targets, whose 
relevance to RTT is unclear.  How CBD interacts with signaling pathways and cellular 
processes modulated by MeCP2 that are important in RTT is a matter of active 
investigation and is yet to be fully elucidated.   
3.2.2 
Clinical Studies 
Human efficacy data from 3 positive Phase 3 trials in patients (predominantly pediatric 
patients) with treatment-resistant epilepsies support a role for GWP42003-P as a 
treatment for central nervous system disorders.  Overall, GWP42003-P was generally 
well tolerated at doses up to 20 mg/kg/day; adverse events (AEs) were usually mild to 
moderate in severity and transient.  Elevated liver enzymes (particularly transaminases 
alanine aminotransferase [ALT] and aspartate aminotransferase [AST], and less 
commonly reported terms of abnormal liver function tests and hepatotoxicity) have been 
reported in some patients receiving GWP42003-P for severe, refractory epilepsies, 
notably in patients taking concomitant valproic acid.  None of the cases fulfilled the Hy’s 
Law criteria for potential severe liver injury.  There were no cases with a concomitant 
increase in bilirubin > 2 × upper limit of normal (ULN).  Monitoring of the blood levels 
of enzymes that are markers of liver function is advised, particularly at the start of 
treatment and with dose increases of GWP42003-P, as well as at the time of initiation or 
dose increase of concomitant medication.

3.3 
Rationale 
A number of studies across a range of nonclinical behavioral paradigms, as discussed 
above, suggest that CBD has the potential to treat some of the core symptoms of RTT, 
such as cognition, language, social behavior, and motor function (see Section 3.2.1.1).  
Indeed, there are suggestions from clinical studies that, in addition to treating seizures, 
CBD may have beneficial effects on cognition and behavior as well as on patient 
QOL.53,54   
This open-label extension (OLE) trial will evaluate the long-term safety of GWP42003-P 
in patients with RTT who carry a MECP2 gene mutation. 
3.3.1 
Choice of Endpoints 
Overall, the range of assessments cover the key symptom domains: behavior and 
emotion, motor function, breathing abnormalities, and sleep.   
3.3.1.1 
Choice of Primary Endpoints 
Safety, selected as the primary endpoint, will be assessed by evaluating changes in AEs, 
clinical laboratory parameters, vital signs, physical examination procedures, 12-lead 
ECGs, effects on menstruation cycles, and suicidality.  Change in growth and 
development will also be measured by height, weight, serum IGF-1 levels, and Tanner 
Staging (for patients aged ≥ 7 years or earlier, if clinically indicated by the onset of 
menarche or other signs of precocious puberty).   
3.3.1.2 
Choice of Secondary Endpoints 
Secondary endpoints, scales, and assessments were selected to evaluate a wide range of 
symptoms observed in patients with RTT: 
• RSBQ.  This caregiver-completed assessment has been specifically developed for 
use in patients with RTT.55  The RSBQ total score is used as a global measure to 
assess the patient’s overall condition, whereas subscales of the RSBQ allow 
evaluation of more-specific domains (behavior and emotion, motor function, and 
breathing abnormalities).   
• CGI-I and CGI-S.  CGI-I was selected as a clinician-rated assessment that has 
been used extensively in neuropsychiatric disorders in both clinical practice and 
clinical trial settings56,57,58 and reported to have successfully been implemented in 
the RTT patient population.59  CGI-I is a global measure used to assess the

patient’s overall condition.  CGI-I assesses change in symptoms relative to the 
baseline CGI-S. 
• MBA-9.  This scale was selected as it provides a clinician assessment of a set of 
motor and behavior items of the original MBA60,61 that are deemed amenable to 
change. 
• CSHQ.  This questionnaire was selected as sleep problems are reported for the 
majority of patients with RTT.  CSHQ has been used to characterize sleep in other 
developmental disability populations (e.g., autism spectrum disorder62) and in a 
sample of patients with RTT.63  
3.3.1.3 
Choice of Exploratory Endpoints 
The required constant care and supervision of patients with RTT places a significant 
burden on the parent(s)/caregiver; as such, effects on caregiver QoL will be assessed as 
an exploratory endpoint using the SF-36 questionnaire.  In addition, caregiver-reported 
patient QoL will be assessed using CHQ-PF50.  Information on health utilization will be 
assessed using the Hospital Services Use Questionnaire, which aims to analyze the 
frequency of patient hospitalizations and hospital visits.   
The Caregiver Assessment of Rett Symptoms has been specifically developed for the 
proposed clinical trial with the intent of obtaining data on the patient’s condition and 
aims to provide additional information on selected key areas of interest: breathing, hand 
stereotypies, interactions, problem behaviors, sleep, constipation, seizures, and global 
function.   
3.3.2 
Choice of Dosing Regimen 
Given that the objective of the trial is to monitor long-term safety, a flexible dose 
escalation based on efficacy and tolerability, as judged by the investigator, will be used.  
The maximum dose of 20 mg/kg/day (10 mg/kg b.i.d.) is set in accordance with the 
maximum dose per the United States (US) prescribing information for CBD.64  
The GWP42003-P solution contains 7.9% w/v anhydrous ethanol, which is required as 
sucralose is not soluble in sesame oil.  A dose of 15 mg/kg/day (administered as 
7.5 mg/kg twice daily [b.i.d.]) in a 10 kg child will result in a blood alcohol content 
(BAC) of 0.0098 g/L, which equates to an ethanol ingestion of 5.93 mg/kg.  Both these 
amounts are well under the threshold for a BAC of 0.125 g/L and an ethanol ingestion of 
75 mg/kg for patients 6 years and older and also under the maximum BAC level of

0.01 g/L and ethanol ingestion of 6 mg/kg for children less than <6 years old.65  At the 
highest recommended therapeutic dose of 20 mg/kg/day (administered as 10 mg/kg 
b.i.d.), a single dose of 10 mg/kg cannabidiol oral solution (CBD-OS) in a 10 kg child 
theoretically results in a BAC of 0.013 g/L and an ethanol ingestion of 7.9 mg/kg, slightly 
above the recommended threshold for BAC of 0.01 g/L for children less than 6 years old.  
In light of the wide safety margins observed in toxicology studies and taking the severity 
of the condition into account, this theoretical risk is judged to be acceptable.  
Please refer to the investigator’s brochure (IB) and Development Core Safety Information 
for the most current safety data. 
3.3.3 
Benefit-risk Analysis  
There are no approved medications for RTT, neither disease modifying nor for 
symptomatic therapy.  Nonclinical and clinical data indicate that CBD-OS may benefit 
patients with RTT (see Section 3.2.1.1, Section 3.2.2, and Section 3.3). 
The key risks identified from the CBD-OS clinical development program for 
Lennox-Gestaut Syndrome (LGS) and dissosicated seziures (DS) (described in 
Section 3.2.2) are broadly expected to be the same for the RTT population - as the patient 
demographics and comorbidities have a significant amount of overlap.  Importantly, the 
risk of raised transaminases is reduced in the context of this RTT trial where lower doses 
of CBD-OS are planned and valproic acid use is expected to be lower in this population.   
In the context of the anticipated benefit of CBD-OS in RTT patients, the key risks 
identified from the CBD OS clinical development program in LGS and DS are acceptable 
given the proposed dose level (maximum dose of 20 mg/kg/day)  and the age range of 2–
18 years.  Thus, the overall benefit-risk for the development of CBD-OS in the RTT 
population is favorable. 
3.4 
Clinical Hypothesis 
There will be no formal hypothesis testing in this trial.

EXPERIMENTAL PLAN 
4.1 
Trial Design 
This is a 28-week, multicenter, OLE trial for patients with RTT who have completed the 
randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial (GWND18064). 
Entry to this OLE trial is recommended to be on the same day as Visit 9 of the 
randomized controlled trial (RCT); however, patients may enter the OLE up to the RCT 
follow-up visit (Visit 11). 
All patients entering this OLE trial will begin dosing with 5 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P 
(2.5 mg/kg b.i.d.) on Day 1.  Patients will be observed, and after 1 week, the dose may 
further be escalated, at the investigator’s discretion, up to 15 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P 
(7.5 mg/kg b.i.d.) in weekly increments of 5 mg/kg/day (2.5 mg/kg b.i.d.).   
Patients should then remain on a stable dose of GWP42003-P for the duration of the 
maintenance period of the trial (up to 28 weeks), with the option for doses to be 
decreased or increased to a maximum dose of 20 mg/kg/day (10 mg/kg b.i.d.) based on 
clinical response and tolerability, as deemed necessary by the investigator, until the 
optimal dose is found.  Patients whose dose has been decreased can have their dose 
increased again if tolerability improves.   
At the end of treatment (Visit 8 [Day 197]), the dose of GWP42003-P will be reduced 
over a 10-day taper period, and patients will enter the 4-week follow-up period.   
If a patient permanently discontinues treatment at any point during the trial, 
GWP42003-P should be gradually reduced over 10 days (unless inadvisable due to an 
AE).  The patient should attend a withdrawal visit (Visit 8) as soon as possible after the 
decision is made to permanently discontinue GWP42003-P.  If applicable, the patient will 
taper GWP42003-P, attend the End of Taper visit, and then complete the 4-week 
follow-up period.   
A schematic (Figure 1-1), presented at the end of Section 1, depicts the overall trial 
design.  More detailed information on treatment and trial procedures is provided in 
Section 8 and Section 9, respectively.

Section 5.2.4).  The center will acknowledge the GWP42003-P receipt and will complete 
any receipt forms required.  GWP42003-P will be dispensed and returned as detailed in 
Section 8.4.  As directed, all supplies, including unused, partially used, or empty 
containers, will be returned to the GW/depot or destroyed at a GW-approved center if 
agreed in writing by the trial monitor. 
5.2.4 
Investigational Medicinal Product Accountability 
The investigator has overall responsibility for the accountability of all used and unused 
GWP42003-P.  A drug accountability record for GWP42003-P must be kept current and 
should contain the following: 
• Trial code 
• PRN, treatment number, date of receipt, and quantity of GWP42003-P received 
• Patient’s trial identification and/or treatment number 
• Date and quantity of GWP42003-P dispensed 
• The initials of the dispensing/dosing party 
• Date and quantity of GWP42003-P returned to the investigator 
• GWP42003-P expiry dates 
GWP42003-P will be dispensed at Visits 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 (at Visit 8 for patients 
entering the 10-day taper period).  Caregivers will be asked to return all GWP42003-P 
(used and unused) at each relevant visit (Visits 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9).  The center will check 
the returned GWP42003-P against the expected usage.  Any discrepancies will be 
discussed with the caregiver at the time of the visit and documented accordingly within 
the patient’s source documents.   
The investigator must inform GW promptly of all missing or unaccountable 
GWP42003-P. 
A record of returned GWP42003-P must be completed and included in the shipment of 
used and unused GWP42003-P to the relevant drug distribution depot.  At the end of the 
trial, a record/statement of reconciliation must be completed and provided to GW.

PATIENT ELIGIBILITY 
Investigators are responsible for confirming patient eligibility and will be required to 
maintain a log that includes limited information about all screened patients (initials, age, 
and sex, as allowed per local regulations) and outcome of screening. 
6.1 
Inclusion Criteria 
For inclusion in the trial patients must fulfil all of the following criteria: 
6.1.1 Patient has completed all scheduled visits of the treatment phase of the RCT, 
GWND18064, and has transitioned to OLE by the point of RCT follow-up 
(Visit 11). 
6.1.2 Patient (if possessing adequate understanding, in the investigator’s opinion) 
and/or her parent(s)/legal representative is willing and able to give informed 
consent/assent for participation in the trial. 
6.1.3 Patient and her caregiver are willing and able (in the investigator’s opinion) to 
comply with all trial requirements (including the completion of all caregiver 
assessments by the same caregiver throughout the trial). 
6.1.4 Patient must have the ability to swallow the IMP provided as a liquid solution 
or the ability for the IMP to be delivered via gastrostomy (G) or nasogastric 
(NG) feeding tube (only G- or NG-tubes made from polyurethane or silicon 
are allowed). 
6.1.5 Patient and/or parent(s)/legal representative is willing to allow the responsible 
authorities to be notified of participation in the trial, if mandated by local law. 
6.1.6 Patient and/or parent(s)/legal representative is willing to allow the patient’s 
primary care practitioner (if she has one) and consultant (if she has one) to be 
notified of participation in the trial if the primary care practitioner/consultant 
is different from the investigator. 
6.2 
Exclusion Criteria  
If the RCT ‘End of Treatment’/‘End of Taper Period’ visit assessments or Visit 1 
reassessments (as applicable) raise any safety concerns, the investigator should consider 
whether it will be appropriate for the patient to continue to participate in the OLE trial or 
if the patient should be withdrawn.  The patient may not enter the trial if ANY of the 
following apply: 
6.2.1 Patient meets the withdrawal criteria (including clinically significant abnormal 
laboratory values) in the investigator’s opinion (refer to Section 10).

6.2.2 Patient met during the RCT the criteria for permanent IMP discontinuation 
(unless in case of an AE, if AE was not considered related with the IMP; 
patients that met ALT/AST elevations discontinuation criteria must be 
excluded). 
6.2.3 Patient is of childbearing potential, unless willing to ensure that they or their 
partner use a highly effective method of birth control (e.g., combined 
[estrogen and progestogen containing] hormonal contraceptiona associated 
with inhibition of ovulation [oral, intravaginal or transdermal], 
progestogen-only hormonal contraceptiona associated with inhibition of 
ovulation [oral, injectable or implantableb] intrauterine devices/hormone-
releasing systemsb, bilateral tubal occlusionb, vasectomized partnerb,c, , sexual 
abstinenced during the trial and for 3 months thereafter. 
6.2.4 Patient has been previously enrolled and dosed in this trial. 
6.2.5 Patient is unwilling to abstain from donation of blood during the trial. 
 
 
                                                 
a The effect of GWP42003-P on oral contraceptives has not been investigated.  GWP42003-P is 
not an inducer of CYP3A4 and therefore is not expected to alter the PK of hormonal 
contraceptives. 
b Contraception methods that are considered to have low user dependency 
c Provided that partner is the sole sexual partner of the trial patient of childbearing potential and 
that the vasectomized partner has received medical assessment of the surgical success. 
d Only if defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk 
associated with the trial treatments.  The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in 
relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient.

PATIENT ENROLLMENT 
Before patients may be entered into the trial, GW requires a copy of the relevant center’s 
institutional review board (IRB) or independent ethics committee (IEC) written approval 
of the protocol, informed consent/assent forms, and other patient information material.  
Patients will be considered enrolled in the trial from the time of providing written 
informed consent/assent.  All parent(s)/legal representatives must personally sign and 
date the consent forms prior to any procedures being performed (refer to Section 9.2.1 
and Section 15.2).  The nominated caregiver will be asked to consent to complete the 
QoL questionnaires.  If the patient possesses adequate understanding, assent will also be 
taken along with parent(s)/legal representative consent (refer to Section 9.2.1 and 
Section 15.2).  Due to the degree of cognitive impairment in patients with RTT, patients 
18 years of age or older will not be required to provide consent and will only be required 
to provide assent in cases where the patient possesses adequate understanding, along with 
parent(s)/legal representative consent. 
7.1 
Treatment Assignment 
As this is a single-group OLE trial, all patients will receive GWP42003-P.  Patients will 
not be informed of their allocated treatment group in the RCT.  Patients will retain the 
patient number allocated to them during the RCT. 
7.2 
Randomization 
This is an OLE of the GWND18064 trial.  Randomization will not occur.  At the start of 
the GWND18064 trial, enrolled patients were allocated a unique patient number.  Patients 
will retain this number during the OLE trial.

TREATMENT PROCEDURES 
8.1 
Investigational Medicinal Product Dosage, Administration, and 
Schedule 
GWP42003-P will be presented as an oral solution containing 100 mg/mL CBD.  For 
details regarding IMP formulations, see Section 5.  
Before the patient undergoes any assessments or observations, the patient’s 
parent(s)/legal representative is required to give written informed consent or assent (see 
Section 9.2.1 and Section 15.2).  The nominated caregiver will be asked to consent to 
complete the QoL questionnaires.   
8.1.1 
Dose Administration 
GWP42003-P will be administered orally (swallowed) b.i.d. (morning and evening) using 
the syringe(s) provided.  GWP42003-P may be taken with other concomitant 
medications, as directed by the investigator.  In patients with G- or NG-tubes but where 
oral dosing of GWP42003-P is possible, oral dosing is preferable.  Only in patients where 
oral dosing is not possible should GWP42003-P be administered via G- or NG-tubes 
made from polyurethane or silicon only.  GWP42003-P should be preferentially taken 
with food, i.e., within 30 minutes after the end of a meal and in line with the patients’ 
normal feeding schedule and dietary habits.  The time of GWP42003-P administration in 
relation to food should be kept consistent throughout the trial The investigator should 
contact the medical monitor to review IMP administration guidelines if administration via 
G-or NG-tubes is planned. 
8.1.2 
Dose Escalation and Dose Adjustments 
The daily volumes of the GWP42003-P solution to be taken will be calculated based on 
the patients’ weight, and the dosing schedule will be provided to the caregiver.  Further 
information on dispensing procedures will be provided in a separate Pharmacy Manual. 
Caregivers will be trained on dose administration during the GWND18064 trial.   
All patients entering this OLE trial will begin dosing with 5 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P 
(2.5 mg/kg b.i.d.) on Day 1.  Patients will be observed, and after 1 week the dose may 
escalate further, at the investigator’s discretion, up to 15 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P 
(7.5 mg/kg b.i.d.) in weekly increments of 5 mg/kg/day (2.5 mg/kg b.i.d.).   
Patients should then remain on a stable dose of GWP42003-P for the duration of the 
maintenance period of the trial (up to 28 weeks), with the option for doses to be

decreased or increased if deemed necessary by the investigator, to a maximum dose of 
20 mg/kg/day (10 mg/kg b.i.d.).   
If an unacceptable AE develops at any time during the dose escalation period(s), dosing 
should initially be suspended or amended, at the investigator’s discretion, until the event 
has resolved.  Patients who have escalated above 5 mg/kg/day should return to the 
previous dose level tolerated in steps of 5 mg/kg/day each week, unless a quicker 
reduction is judged to be required for safety reasons.  If a patient cannot tolerate 
5 mg/kg/day, doses should be reduced to 2.5 mg/kg/day.  If necessary, dosing may be 
temporarily suspended. 
Patients whose dose has been decreased can have their dose increased again if tolerability 
improves.  Patients unable to tolerate the target dose may stay at a lower dose.  However, 
if a patient cannot tolerate a dose of 2.5 mg/kg/day, the patient should be withdrawn from 
treatment, unless a lower dose level is agreed in discussion with the medical monitor and 
can be accurately measured (minimum single-dose volume of 0.1 mL).  Dose adjustments 
should be discussed with the GW medical monitor.  The final decision regarding dose 
adjustments should be taken by the investigator. 
Hepatic function monitoring should be carried out within 1 month following increases in 
GWP42003-P dose or introduction or dose increases of medications that are known to 
impact liver function.  If the concerned change does not occur within 1 month of a 
scheduled biochemistry assessment, the investigator should perform an additional hepatic 
monitoring within 1 month of the change.  
Transaminase elevations should be medically managed by the investigator either by 
reducing the GWP42003-P dose as described above or by reducing concomitant 
medications judged to be causing the elevation (per Section 8.2).  Dose adjustments 
should be discussed with the GW medical monitor.  For potential cases of drug-induced 
liver injury, see Section 12.8. 
At the end of treatment (Visit 8 [Day 197]), the dose of GWP42003-P will be reduced 
over a 10-day taper period, and patients will enter the 4-week follow-up period.  
Patients discontinuing GWP42003-P treatment at any other time should undergo a 10-day 
taper period (unless continued dosing is inadvisable, e.g., due to an AE).  The decision on 
whether to taper GWP42003-P or not will be left to the investigator’s clinical judgment.

8.2 
Concomitant Therapy 
It is theoretically possible that GWP42003-P may modify the metabolism of other drugs 
(including antiepileptic drugs [AEDs]) administered concurrently, and there remains the 
possibility of pharmacological interactions between GWP42003-P and other concurrently 
administered drugs.  If there are side-effects suspected of being related to an elevation in 
the concomitant concentration, the investigator should contact the GW medical monitor 
to discuss best management.  Decisions should be based on clinical symptoms and not 
plasma levels of concomitant medications.  The final decision regarding dose adjustments 
should be taken by the investigator.  Cannabidiol has the potential to induce the 
expression of hepatic CYP enzymes (CYP1A2, 2B6 and 3A4) at clinically relevant 
concentrations.  Careful titration of CBD in patients taking concomitant medications 
metabolized by CYP3A4, CYP2C19, or CYP2B6 is advised, with plasma monitoring of 
such medications or their metabolites to be undertaken at the investigator’s discretion.  
Further information on drug interactions can be found in the IB 52.  Any concerns 
regarding potential interactions with concomitant medications can be discussed with the 
trial medical monitor(s). 
Changes in concomitant medications are allowed, but increases in dose of medications 
that affect liver function should be discussed with the medical monitor.  Introduction of 
new medications is allowed, but introduction of new psychotropic and/or central acting 
agents intended as long-term treatment requires prior discussion with the medical 
monitor.  
The use of rescue medication is allowed, when necessary (i.e., AED for transient 
exacerbation of seizures).  Any medication, other than GWP42003-P, taken during the 
trial must be recorded on the electronic case report form (eCRF). 
8.3 
Prohibited Therapy During the Trial Period 
The following medications are prohibited for the duration of the trial.  However, any 
patients taking these medications after screening should not be discontinued from 
treatment, unless there are safety concerns.  
• St John’s wort 
• Recreational or medicinal cannabis or cannabinoid-based medications (including 
Sativex or CBD oral solutions) 
• Any other IMP

• Felbamate that has been taken for less than 1 year 
Care should be taken with drugs, or their metabolites, that are CYP2C19 substrates, such 
as N-desmethylclobazam.  Care should also be taken with drugs, or their metabolites, that 
are solely or primarily metabolized by uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase 
(UGT)1A9 and UGT2B7. 
8.4 
Compliance in Investigational Medicinal Product Administration 
GWP42003-P is dispensed to the patient at Visits 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 (at Visit 8 for 
patients entering the 10-day taper period).  Further guidance on GWP42003-P dispensing 
will be provided in a separate pharmacy manual.   
Caregivers will be asked to confirm dosing in the dosing schedule daily.  Caregivers 
should return all GWP42003-P (used and unused) at each of Visits 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.  
The returned medication will be checked against the expected usage, and any 
discrepancies will be discussed with the caregiver at the time of the visit and documented 
accordingly within the patient’s source documents.  Caregivers will also be asked about 
the time of GWP42003-P administration in relation to meals. 
The investigator must inform GW promptly of all missing or unaccountable 
GWP42003-P.   
Records of GWP42003-P accountability will be maintained according to Section 5.2.4.

TRIAL PROCEDURES 
A list of the required trial procedures is provided in the subsections that follow; refer also 
to the schedule of assessments (Appendix 1).  Assessments or tests that are not done and 
examinations that are not conducted must be reported as such on the eCRF. 
The location of the source data for the following procedures will be documented, per 
center, in a signed source data verification plan; for further details, see Section 16.2. 
9.1 
Trial Procedures by Visit 
Patients and their parent(s)/legal representative will be invited to take part in the trial and 
will be issued with the patient information and informed assent (if applicable) and the 
parent(s)/legal representative information and informed consent.  Due to the degree of 
cognitive impairment in patients with RTT, patients 18 years of age or older will not be 
required to provide consent and will only be required to provide assent in cases where the 
patient possesses adequate understanding, along with parent(s)/legal representative 
consent.  Following ample time to discuss the trial with the investigator, nurse, relatives, 
or caregiver, as wished, patients for whom the parent(s)/legal representatives provide 
written informed consent, and in cases where the patient possesses adequate 
understanding, patients who give their assent will be screened for entry into the trial.  The 
nominated caregiver will be asked to consent to complete the QoL questionnaires. 
Each visit should be scheduled to take place at approximately the same time of day 
(i.e., morning or afternoon), whenever possible.  Visits 2, 3, and 10 are to be conducted 
by telephone.   
The investigator should use his/her judgment and knowledge of the patient to determine 
when to best collect the blood and urine samples in order to mitigate the risk that invasive 
procedures may cause the patient to become stressed, thereby affecting the results of 
other patient assessments. 
All assessments should reflect the patient’s regular state, therefore it should be ensured 
the patient had adequate time to settle prior to each assessment.  The CGI-S and CGI-I 
assessments should be based on the entirety of the visit.

The investigator must assess adherence to the dosing schedule.   
Clinical laboratory samples (urine [where possible] and blood) will be taken for 
hematology and biochemistry for patients taking concomitant valproic acid, as well as for 
patients whose dose exceeds 15 mg/kg/day.   
The caregiver will complete the RSBQ and Caregiver Assessment of Rett Symptoms.   
The Hospital Services Use Questionnaire will be completed via interview. 
The investigator will complete CGI-S, CGI-I, and suicidality assessment. 
All GWP42003-P (used and unused) will be collected, and a check of the returned 
GWP42003-P against usage should be made.  Patients will receive sufficient 
GWP42003-P and a dosing schedule for the following 8 weeks.   
Based on Section 9.1.3, assessments may be performed at an unscheduled visit in the 
event of a safety concern, as deemed necessary by the investigator. 
9.1.1.6 
Visit 8 (Day 197 [± 7], End of Treatment/Withdrawal Visit) 
This visit will occur 56 days after Visit 7 or earlier, if the patient withdraws from the 
trial.  A visit window of ± 7 days from the scheduled visit date is permitted, but it is 
preferred that the visit is performed on the scheduled visit day, where possible. 
The patient should attend a withdrawal visit (Visit 8) as soon as possible after the 
decision is made to permanently discontinue GWP42003-P.   
Information regarding changes to concomitant medications, AEs, and menstruation cycle 
(where applicable) will be reviewed.  Physical examination (including body weight), 
height, and ECG assessments will be performed.  Vital sign assessments will be 
performed.   
Clinical laboratory samples (urine [where possible] and blood) will be taken for the 
following:

The caregiver will complete the RSBQ, CSHQ, SF-36, CHQ-PF50, and Caregiver 
Assessment of Rett Symptoms. 
The Hospital Services Use Questionnaire will be completed via interview. 
The Tanner Stage will be recorded (where appropriate).   
The investigator will complete MBA-9, CGI-S, CGI-I, and suicidality assessment. 
The investigator must assess adherence to the dosing schedule.   
Patients will receive sufficient GWP42003-P for the 10-day taper period, as applicable.  
Dosing schedules will be provided accordingly.  For patients who discontinue 
GWP42003-P early, the taper period should start at the time the decision is made to 
discontinue, unless tapering the dose of GWP42003-P is inadvisable (e.g., continued 
dosing is not possible due to an AE).  For patients who discontinue GWP42003-P early, 
the decision on whether or not to taper GWP42003-P will be left to the investigator’s 
clinical judgment.   
All GWP42003-P (used and unused) will be collected, and a check of the returned 
GWP42003-P against usage should be made.   
Based on Section 9.1.3, assessments may be performed at an unscheduled visit in the 
event of a safety concern, as deemed necessary by the investigator. 
9.1.1.7 
Visit 9 (Day 207 [+ 7], End of Taper) 
This visit will occur 10 days after the end of treatment (Visit 8).  A visit window of 
+ 7 days from the scheduled visit date is permitted, but it is preferred that the visit is 
performed on the scheduled visit day, where possible.  This visit marks the end of the 
taper period. 
Information regarding changes to concomitant medications and AEs will be reviewed.

Visits 2 (Day 8 [± 3]) and 3 (Day 15 [± 3]) 
Visits 2 and 3 will occur 7 and 14 days after randomization (Visit 1), respectively. 
A visit window of ± 3 days from the scheduled visit date is permitted, but it is preferred 
that the visit is performed on the scheduled visit day, where possible.  
Telephone visits will be conducted by a center nurse (the center investigator only needs 
to be involved if necessary, e.g., if any concerns are raised during the call).  Information 
regarding changes to concomitant medications and AEs will be reviewed.  The center (the 
nurse and, if necessary, the investigator) must assess adherence to the dosing schedule.

Visit 10 (Day 235+7, End of Trial) 
This visit will occur 28 days after Visit 9 (or Visit 8 if the patient did not taper).  A visit 
window of + 7 days from the scheduled visit date is permitted, but it is preferred that the 
visit is performed on the scheduled visit day, where possible.  This visit marks the end of 
the trial. 
Visit 10 constitutes the last scheduled safety follow-up.  The purpose of the visit is to 
ascertain the status of AEs continuing after the cessation of GWP42003-P or any new 
AEs commencing after discontinuation.  All causally related AEs that result in a patient’s 
early termination from the trial or are present at the end of the trial should be followed up 
until a satisfactory resolution occurs, i.e., until the AE resolves or is considered clinically 
insignificant, or until the investigator is satisfied that the AE is not related to 
GWP42003-P and needs no further investigation.  Information regarding changes to 
concomitant medications will be reviewed.   
9.1.3 
Unscheduled Visits 
Unscheduled visits and assessments may be performed in the event of a safety concern, 
as deemed necessary by the investigator.  Data from any unscheduled visits should be 
reported on the unscheduled visits eCRF.

Trial Procedure Listing 
9.2.1 
Informed Consent/Assent 
The parent(s)/legal representative of all patients in the trial must personally sign and date 
the IRB/IEC-approved informed consent form (ICF) before any trial-specific procedures 
are performed or any patient-related data are recorded for the trial.  The nominated 
caregiver will be asked to consent to complete the QoL questionnaires. 
In cases where the patient possesses adequate understanding in the opinion of the 
investigator, assent will be taken along with parent(s)/legal representative consent, using 
IRB/IEC-approved assent forms.  If appropriate, prior to signing, the assent form will be 
read to the patient, and the patient will be given the opportunity to ask questions and 
discuss with their parent(s)/legal representative.  If appropriate, the patient must 
personally sign and date the assent form.  Patients who cannot write can give 
consent/assent by “making their mark” on the assent form (e.g., writing an “X”).  If the 
patient possesses adequate understanding but is not physically able to sign, an impartial 
witness should be present during the entire assent discussion and should sign and 
personally date the assent form.  By signing, the witness attests that the information in the 
assent form and any other written information were accurately explained to and 
apparently understood by the patient and that assent was freely given by the patient.  
Assent is defined as the minor’s permission or affirmative agreement to participate in the 
trial.  If a minor who is capable of forming an opinion and assessing the information 
provided makes an explicit wish to refuse participation in or to be withdrawn from the 
clinical trial at any time, this wish must be considered by the investigator.  Given the 
severity of the condition, it is expected that the majority of patients will have an 
insufficient level of understanding of what is proposed, in which case solely 
parent(s)/legal representative consent will be sought.  All decisions made by the 
investigator relating to a patient’s level of understanding and ability to provide assent 
must be documented in the patient’s medical records. 
GW Research Ltd requires a physician to be present for consent and assent and to also 
sign the consent and assent forms.  The original signed informed consent/assent forms 
should be retained, and a copy should be provided to the patient and/or parent(s)/legal 
representative.  Patients’ parent(s)/legal representatives will be given the option of being 
informed about the summary outcome and results of the trial as part of the ICF.  For 
further details, see Section 15.2.

9.2.2 
Contraception Requirements 
Contraception requirements must be assessed by the investigator on a case by case basis.  
Where applicable, the patient or their partner must use highly effective contraception for 
the duration of the study and for three months thereafter.  Contraception requirements 
must be assessed by the investigator on a case-by-case basis.  Where applicable, patients 
of childbearing potential (i.e., fertile, following menarche and until becoming 
postmenopausal for ≥ 12 consecutive months, unless permanently sterile by 
hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy per the definition of 
woman of childbearing potential) must use highly effective birth control method for the 
duration of the trial and for 3 months thereafter.  Highly effective methods of birth 
control are defined as those, alone or in combination, that result in a low failure rate 
(i.e., less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly.66  Such methods 
include:  
• Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception 
associated with the inhibition of ovulationa: 
• Oral. 
• Intravaginal. 
• Transdermal. 
• Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of 
ovulationa: 
• Oral. 
• Injectable. 
• Implantableb. 
• Intrauterine devicesb 
• Intrauterine hormone-releasing systemsb. 
• Bilateral tubal occlusionb. 
 
 
                                                 
a The effect of GWP42003-P on oral contraceptives has not been investigated.  GWP42003-P is not an 
inducer of CYP3A4 and therefore is not expected to alter the PK of hormonal contraceptives. 
b Contraception methods that are considered to have low user dependency.

• Vasectomized partnera,b provided that partner is the sole sexual partner of the 
patient of childbearing potential and that the vasectomized partner has received 
medical assessment of the surgical success. 
• Abstinence, as referenced above, is only acceptable as true abstinence, i.e., when 
this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient; periodic 
abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, and postovulation methods) 
and withdrawal (coitus interruptus), spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhea 
method are not acceptable methods of contraception.67  
Serum pregnancy tests will be performed for any patients of childbearing potential at 
RCT Visit 9 and OLE Visit 8; patients must test negative for pregnancy to be eligible for 
the trial.  Additional pregnancy tests must be performed during the treatment period if 
considered clinically indicated by the investigator. 
9.2.3 
Concomitant Medication 
Details of all current medications will be recorded during the RCT.  Any changes in 
concomitant medication during the trial must be recorded on the eCRF at trial visits.  
Changes in concomitant medications are allowed, but increases in the dose of 
medications that affect liver function should be discussed with the medical monitor.  
Introduction of new medications is allowed, but introduction of new psychotropic and/or 
central acting agents intended as long-term treatment requires prior discussion with the 
medical monitor.  
9.2.4 
New Medical History 
Any changes to medical history since the RCT will be recorded. 
9.2.5 
Menstruation 
Any changes in menstrual cycles since the RCT will be captured at the end-of-treatment 
visit. 
                                                 
a Contraception methods that are considered to have low user dependency.

9.2.6 
Physical Examination 
Physical examinations will include body weight measurements.  At Visit 8, height will be 
collected.  If an accurate measurement of height is not possible, an estimate should be 
provided. 
9.2.7 
12-Lead Electrocardiogram  
Triplicate ECGs will be performed after 5 minutes rest.  Triplicate ECGs should be taken 
as close together as possible.  An ECG machine will be provided to all centers, and all 
ECGs will be reviewed by a central reader.  The central reader will provide a report 
within 24 hours of collection of the ECG.  Additional alerts will be sent to the center in 
the case of clinically relevant abnormalities.  The central reader will provide 
measurements and an overall assessment to support the investigator in his/her final 
assessment.  If needed, the investigator may update clinical relevance based on patient 
files, medical history, and any clinical symptoms.  The central reader can be supportive 
for any discussions on patient outcomes.  Any abnormal findings considered to indicate 
significant medical history or AEs must be recorded appropriately on the eCRF.  In 
addition to the scheduled assessments, additional ECG measurements can be taken at any 
time during the trial, if clinically indicated.   
9.2.8 
Vital Signs 
Vital sign measurements (blood pressure and pulse rate) will be taken in a sitting position 
at rest for 5 minutes.  Blood pressure should be recorded using the same arm throughout 
the trial, where possible. 
9.2.9 
Clinical Laboratory Sampling 
The investigator should use his/her judgment and knowledge of the patient to determine 
when to best collect the blood and urine samples in order to mitigate the risk that invasive 
procedures may cause the patient to become stressed, thereby affecting the results of 
other patient assessments.   
Laboratory tests will include hematology, biochemistry, and urinalysis (provided urine 
can be obtained), IGF-1 levels, and a serum pregnancy test (if appropriate).  Analysis of 
all clinical blood samples and pregnancy tests will be conducted at a central clinical 
laboratory. 
Urine samples for biochemistry will be analyzed at the trial center by use of a dipstick, 
with any relevant findings being sent for further urinalysis at the central laboratory

(urinalysis, microscopy, culture, and sensitivity, as applicable).  In cases where urine 
samples cannot be analyzed at the center due to local regulations, a full set of urine 
samples should be sent to the central laboratory for analysis.  Urine sample volume 
requirements and processing procedures will be detailed in a separate laboratory manual.   
The investigator and trial monitor will be provided with a list of the normal ranges used 
by the testing laboratory for all variables assayed during the trial and a statement of 
accreditation (or similar) for the laboratory.   
The investigator should be aware of blood sampling volume restrictions, particularly for 
patients with low weight, and if additional monitoring is required (maximum total daily 
volume of 0.85mL/kg of body weight68,69 maximum 4-week period volume of 
2.55 mL/kg of body weight, and maximum 8-week period volume of 50 mL).

HDL = high-density lipoprotein; INR = international normalized ratio. 
Investigators at trial centers will be notified of laboratory test results.  All laboratory 
results will be reviewed, and the reports will be signed and dated by the investigator.  
Any results considered to be of clinical significance must be addressed and followed up, 
as clinically appropriate.  In cases where after Visit 1, ALT or AST are > 3 × ULN, 
international normalized ratio (INR) testing must be requested.  If only the hepatic 
function monitoring panel was requested and ALT or AST > 3 × ULN, both INR and 
hematology panel (eosinophils) must be requested.  All laboratory results considered to 
represent an AE must be documented on the eCRF.  For reporting and follow-up of 
potential cases of drug-induced liver injury, see Section 12.8. 
Repeat samples will be taken, if required, for clinical follow-up or if the sample is lost or 
damaged.  Any abnormal end-of-treatment clinical laboratory result of clinical 
significance must be repeated at regular intervals until it returns to normal or until the 
investigator is satisfied that the abnormality is not related to GWP42003-P and needs no 
further investigation.   
Additional samples may be collected, as needed, e.g., for monitoring of hepatic function 
(hepatic function monitoring panel) (see Section 8.1.2 and Table 9.2.9-1).  
Blood sample volume requirements and processing procedures will be detailed in a 
separate laboratory manual; the maximum cumulative amount of blood taken in any 
4-week period will be 2.55 mL/kg of body weight and will not exceed a total of 50 mL 
within any 8 week period68,69 taking into account possible repeat tests.  The 
patient/caregiver must be advised that it may not be safe for the patient to undertake 
further blood tests within 1 month of any trial-related blood draws and to inform the 
investigator if the patient suffered any blood loss during the 1-month period leading up to 
a planned blood draw.

9.2.10 
Randomization and Trial Supply Management System 
The RTSM system will be used to manage the IMP supply.  The RTSM system 
information can be accessed via the eCRF.  
A member of the trial team must register in the eCRF each clinic visit in order to: 
• Obtain dispensing information (Visits 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8). 
• Provide completion/taper/early termination information (Visit 8/the withdrawal 
visit, or Visit 9, as applicable). 
Training will be given to all centers prior to the start of the trial. 
9.2.11 
Dosing Schedule/Compliance Review 
Caregivers will be provided with a dosing schedule.  Caregivers will be asked to confirm 
dosing in the dosing schedule daily from Visit 1 through Visit 9.  Dosing compliance will 
be reviewed at each clinic visit.  Any discrepancies will be discussed with the caregiver 
and documented accordingly within the patient’s source documents.  As part of the 
compliance review, caregivers will be asked at the visits about the time of GWP42003-P 
administration in relation to meals. 
9.2.12 
Questionnaires and Assessments Completed at Scheduled Visits  
Caregiver questionnaires should be completed by the identified caregiver, nominated at 
Visit 1 of the RCT.  The same person should answer/complete the 
questionnaires/assessments in order to maintain consistency.  Questionnaires should be 
completed during the scheduled visits.  The nominated caregiver must have given consent 
to complete the QoL questionnaires prior to the completion of the questionnaires.  
To ensure consistency, investigator-completed questionnaires should be completed for 
each patient by the same investigator throughout the trial.  Investigators must have 
completed the sponsor-specified training for each questionnaire before any questionnaires 
are completed. 
9.2.12.1 
Rett Syndrome Behaviour Questionnaire 
The RSBQ is a caregiver-completed questionnaire that measures the frequency of current 
disease characteristics (45 items) that may or may not apply to the patient 
(see Appendix 3.4).  Each item is rated on a 3-point numerical scale; 0 indicates an item 
that is ‘not true as far as you know,’ 1 indicates an item is ‘somewhat or sometimes true,’ 
and 2 indicates an item that is ‘very true or often true.’  The total maximum score is 90,

and higher total scores represent greater severity.  It encompasses 8 subscales: general 
mood, breathing problems, hand behaviors, face movements, body rocking/expressionless 
face, night-time behaviors, anxiety/fear, and walking/standing.55 
9.2.12.2 
Children’s Sleep Habit Questionnaire 
This is a caregiver-completed sleep screening instrument designed for school-aged 
children.70  CSHQ includes 33 items within 8 subscales reflecting the following sleep 
domains: 1) Bedtime Resistance; 2) Sleep Onset Delay; 3) Sleep Duration; 4) Sleep 
Anxiety; 5) Night Wakings; 6) Parasomnias; 7) Sleep-Disordered Breathing; and 
8) Daytime Sleepiness.  Caregivers are to answer based on the last week.  If the last week 
was unusual for a specific reason, the caregiver should choose the most recent typical 
week.  The answers to each question are provided by a choice of 3 markers: “Usually” if 
it occurs 5 or more times in a week; “Sometimes” if it occurs 2 to 4 times in a week; and 
“Rarely” if it occurs never or 1 time in a week.  Some items should be reversed in 
scoring, so a higher score reflects more-disturbed sleep behavior (see Appendix 3.9).  The 
caregiver is also asked to indicate for each item if the sleep item is a problem.   
9.2.12.3 
36-Item Short Form 
Caregivers’ health-related QoL will be assessed using the SF-36 questionnaire 
(see Appendix 3.5).  SF-36 measures 8 domains of health-related QoL within 8 scales: 1) 
limitations in physical activities because of health problems; 2) limitations in social 
activities because of physical or emotional problems; 3) limitations in usual role activities 
because of physical health problems; 4) bodily pain; 5) general mental health 
(psychological distress and well-being); 6) limitations in usual role activities because of 
emotional problems; 7) vitality (energy and fatigue); and 8) general health perceptions.  
The domains are used to calculate composite scores – physical health composite score 
(PCS) and mental health composite score (MCS).  The scores for SF-36 are based on a 
0-to-100 scale; 0 represents the lowest possible score, and 100 represents the highest 
possible score, with a higher score indicating a better health state.   
9.2.12.4 
Child Health Questionnaire Parent Form 50 
The CHQ-PF50 is a generic QoL instrument designed and normed for children from 5 to 
18 years of age.  This instrument is a well-validated general QoL measure in pediatric 
populations with chronic illness.  It measures the QoL of the child and the family by 
parent or child report.  The caregiver will be asked to complete the questionnaire on 
behalf of the patient.  The CHQ-PF50 covers mutlidimensional health concepts including

Summary (PhS) score and Standardized Psychosocial Summary (PsS) score.  Scores are 
based on a 0-to-100 scale; a higher score indicates better QoL.   
9.2.12.5 
Hospital Services Use Questionnaire 
This is a health utilization questionnaire designed to analyze the frequency of patient 
hospitalizations and hospital visits (see Appendix 3.7).  Hospitalizations will also be 
recorded in the patient’s CRF and through the serious adverse event (SAE) reporting 
process.  The questionnaire will be completed via caregiver interview.   
9.2.12.6 
Caregiver Assessment of Rett Symptoms  
Caregivers will be asked to rate, on a 0-to-10 numerical rating scale, the patient’s 
condition and performance/severity of symptoms in terms of breathing, hand stereotypies, 
interactions, problem behaviors, constipation, seizures, and sleep (see Appendix 3.10).  
This assessment corresponds to the symptom diary completed weekly in the RCT but will 
be completed at trial visits only in the OLE. 
9.2.12.7 
Rett Syndrome Motor-Behavioral Assessment Scale 
The MBA-9 scale is completed by the investigator and evaluates 9 RTT symptoms.  
MBA-9 was derived from the full MBA scale (37 RTT symptoms) by selecting the items 
that are deemed to be amenable to change and that reflect areas of meaningful clinical 
change.  It includes 5 questions from the original Behavioral/Social Assessment, 
1 question from the Orofacial/Respiratory Assessment, and 3 questions from the Motor 
Assessment/Physical Signs (see Appendix 3.1).  The severity of the current symptoms are 
rated on a 5-point numerical scale: 0 = normal or never; 1 = mild or rare; 2 = moderate or 
occasional; 3 = marked or frequent; or 4 = very severe or constant.  The total maximum 
score is 36, and higher total scores represent greater severity.61  The MBA-9 items 
address the core symptoms of RTT.   
9.2.12.8 
Clinical Global Impressions Questionnaire  
The clinical global impressions (CGI) questionnaire was developed as a clinical trial 
measure to provide a brief, stand-alone assessment of the clinician’s view of the patient’s 
global functioning prior to and after initiating a study medication.56

V1, 24Sep15 
The CGI questionnaire is split into 2 scales: the CGI-S scale and the CGI-I scale 
(see Appendix 3.2 and Appendix 3.3, respectively).  CGI-S is a 7-point scale that requires 
the clinician to rate the severity of the patient’s illness at the time of assessment relative 
to the clinician’s experience with patients who have the same diagnosis.  Considering the 
total clinical experience, a patient will be assessed on the severity of illness at the time of 
rating.  This is rated as follows: 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 second 
scale, CGI-I, is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to assess how much the patient’s 
illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the 
intervention (RCT Visit 2).  This is rated as follows: 1 = very much improved; 2 = much 
improved; 3 = minimally improved; 4 = no change; 5 = minimally worse; 6 = much 
worse; or 7 = very much worse.  
To ensure consistency, investigators will be instructed to complete the CGI referring to a 
predefined set of anchors developed specifically for the use of CGI in RTT.59 
The CGI-S and CGI-I assessments should be based on the entirety of the visit. 
9.2.12.9 
Suicidality Assessment 
The profound cognitive impairment of patients with RTT is such that the Children’s 
Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale is not considered appropriate in this trial.  
Instead, suicidality will be assessed by the investigator via a clinical interview with the 
caregiver (see Appendix 3.8).   
9.2.13 
Tanner Staging 
The pubic hair growth and breast development of all adolescent patients (i.e., ≥ 7 years of 
age71 at the time of signing the ICF or earlier, if clinically indicated by the onset of 
menarche or other signs of precocious puberty) will be assessed using Tanner Staging 
(see Appendix 3.6).72  The assessment can either be performed by examination during the 
study visit or the appropriate Tanner Stage can be indicated by the caregiver, with 
reference to the chart provided.’ 
Once a patient reaches a score of V (i.e., 5) the assessment need not be performed again. 
9.2.14 
Investigational Medicinal Product Accountability 
Records of GWP42003-P accountability will be maintained according to Section 5.2.4. 
GWP42003-P will be dispensed at each of the following visits:

Caregivers will be asked to return all GWP42003-P (used and unused) at each relevant 
visit (Visits 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9).  The center will check the returned GWP42003-P against 
the expected usage.  Any discrepancies will be discussed with the caregiver at the time of 
the visit and documented accordingly within the patient’s source documents. 
9.2.15 
Adverse Events 
All AEs (including SAEs) occurring during the trial will be reported on the running logs 
in the AE section of the eCRF.  This includes all events from the time following 
screening (Visit 1) up to and including the post-trial follow-up visit (Visit 10), whether or 
not attributed to GWP42003-P and observed by the investigator or patient. 
* For the patient’s expected seizure types, these do not routinely require documentation as 
AEs.  However, any worsening, including a change in the pattern or severity of seizures 
should be documented in the eCRF if deemed to meet the definition of an AE, in the 
investigator’s opinion.   
Any AE that meets SAE criteria should still be reported as a SAE. 
Serious adverse events must be reported to GW Pharmacovigilance Department (PVD) 
within 24 hours of discovery or notification of the event via recording in the eCRF.  
Refer to Section 12 for definitions, procedures, and further information on AE reporting.

IMP WITHDRAWAL 
In accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki73 the International Council for 
Harmonisation (ICH) Harmonised Guideline: Integrated Addendum to ICH E6(R1): 
Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) E6(R2)74 the FDA regulations relating to 
GCP and clinical trials75,76,77 the EU Clinical Trials Directive78 the EU GCP Directive79 
and/or other applicable regulations, a patient has the right to withdraw from the trial at 
any time and for any reason, with no obligation to provide a reason and without prejudice 
to her future medical care by the physician or at the institution. 
The patient must be withdrawn permanently discontinued from the trial if any of the 
following apply: 
• Administrative decision by the investigator, GW, or a regulatory authority 
• Pregnancy 
• Protocol deviation that is considered to potentially compromise the safety of the 
patient 
• Withdrawal of patient assent 
• Withdrawal of parent(s)/legal representative consent 
• ALT or AST > 3 × ULN with the appearance of fatigue, nausea, vomiting, right 
upper quadrant pain or tenderness, fever, rash, and/or eosinophilia (> 5%) 
• ALT or AST > 8 × ULN 
• ALT or AST > 5 × ULN for more than 2 weeks 
• ALT or AST > 3 × ULN and (total bilirubin [TBL] > 2 × ULN or international 
normalized ratio [INR] > 1.5) 
Note: Prior to withdrawal for the transaminase elevations noted above, the 
investigator may choose to confirm the transaminase elevations by repeating the 
following laboratory tests within 24 to 48 hours: ALT, AST, TBL, INR, % 
eosinophils, gamma-glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase, and 
eosinophils.  Should the above transaminase elevation criteria be confirmed, 
the patient must be withdrawn from the trial.  In cases where the 
transaminase elevation withdrawal criteria are not met or confirmed, the 
dose of IMP or a concomitant medication with known hepatotoxicity may be

reduced.  Dose adjustments should be discussed with the GW medical 
monitor.  The final decision regarding dose adjustments should be taken by 
the investigator. 
• Lost to follow-up 
The patient may also be withdrawn permanently from the trial for any of the following: 
• Patient or caregiver noncompliance 
• AE (including clinically significant laboratory result) that, in the opinion of the 
investigator, would compromise the continued safe participation of the patient in 
the trial 
• Failure to meet the eligibility criteria 
• Any evidence of the use of drugs of abuse or drug diversion 
• Suicidal ideation or behavior during the treatment period 
The patient should attend a withdrawal visit (Visit 8) as soon as possible after the 
decision is made to permanently discontinue GWP42003-P.  Patients who discontinue the 
IMP should have their dose of IMP gradually reduced (10% each day) over a period of 
10 days, beginning at the time the decision is made to discontinue (unless inadvisable due 
to an AE).  Patients should continue in the trial and continue to complete trial 
assessments and visits per protocol.  Patients who discontinue the IMP and complete 
tapering of the IMP prior to the completion visit do not need to attend an End of Taper 
visit. 
Should a patient request or decide to withdraw from the trial, all efforts must be made to 
complete and report the observations as thoroughly as possible up to the date of 
withdrawal.  Patients withdrawing due to an AE should be followed up according to 
Section 12.7.  All information should be reported on the applicable eCRF pages.  All 
assessments required at the withdrawal visit should be conducted, if possible.  If the 
tapered dose is administered, patients should return for Visit 9, if possible.  Wherever 
possible, a safety follow-up visit should take place 28 days from the date of last dose of 
IMP.  If the withdrawing patient declines to give a reason for withdrawal of consent, the 
investigator must respect the patient’s wishes.

URGENT SAFETY MEASURES 
The sponsor and investigator may take appropriate urgent safety measures in order to 
protect the patients of a clinical trial against any immediate hazard to their health or 
safety.  If such measures are taken by the investigator, they must notify GW immediately 
or at least within 24 hours of awareness.  GW will report urgent safety measures to 
regulatory authorities by telephone within 24 hours of awareness, wherever possible, and 
will provide a written report to the regulatory authorities and IRB/IEC within 3 days.

ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING 
12.1 
Definitions 
12.1.1 
Adverse Event 
For the purposes of this trial, an AE is defined as follows: 
Any new unfavorable/unintended signs/symptoms (including abnormal laboratory 
findings when relevant) or diagnosis or worsening of a pre-existing condition that occurs 
at any point up to the post-treatment, final safety follow-up visit (Visit 10), which may or 
may not be considered to be related to GWP42003-P.  Any event that is the result of a 
trial procedure must be recorded as an AE. 
Surgical/Investigational procedures are not AEs.  The medical reason for the procedure is 
the AE.  Elective hospitalizations for pretrial existing conditions or elective procedures 
are not AEs.  The exception may be if the patient has an AE during hospitalization that 
prolongs the scheduled hospital stay, in which case it would be considered an SAE (refer 
to Section 12.2). 
If reporting a fatal event, the SAE term should be the underlying cause of death 
(e.g., disease or medical condition leading to death). 
12.1.2 
Investigator 
The term “investigator” refers to the trial principal investigator (PI) or a formally 
delegated trial physician. 
12.2 
Serious Adverse Events 
During clinical investigations, AEs may occur, which if suspected to be 
GWP42003-P-related, might be significant enough to lead to important changes in the 
way GWP42003-P is developed (e.g., change in dose, population, monitoring need, 
consent/assent forms).  This is particularly true for events that threaten life or function.  
Such SAEs will be reported promptly to regulatory authorities, applicable IRBs/IECs, 
and investigators (expedited reporting) by GW. 
An AE must only be classed as serious, i.e., an SAE, when the event falls into one of the 
following criteria: 
• Results in death 
• Is life threatening* 
Page 70 of 265

V1, 24Sep15 
• Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
• Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
• Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
• Is medically significant** 
* The term “life threatening” in the definition of “serious” refers to an event in which the 
patient was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event that, 
hypothetically, might have caused death if it were more severe. 
** Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether SAE 
reporting is appropriate in other situations.  Important medical events may not be 
immediately life threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the 
patient or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the 
definition above.  These should also usually be considered serious.  Examples of such 
events are intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic 
bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in hospitalization, or 
development of drug dependency or use of drugs of abuse. 
12.3 
Reporting Procedures for Serious Adverse Events 
All SAEs occurring during the trial must be reported to GW with any other supporting 
information and recorded in the AE section of the eCRF.  Any ongoing SAEs should be 
followed up until resolution, wherever possible.  For all deaths, the working diagnosis or 
cause of death as stated on a death certificate, available autopsy reports, and relevant 
medical reports should be sent to GW promptly. 
All SAEs must be recorded in the eCRF within 24 hours of discovery or notification 
of the event.  GW Research Ltd PVD will be automatically notified that an SAE has 
been recorded.  Any additional information required for a case (follow-up or corrections 
to the original case) will be requested by GW PVD through eCRF queries.  
The investigator should continue to document all AEs that occur up to the last formal 
follow-up observational period (Visit 10).  If the investigator subsequently becomes 
aware of any deaths or a new GWP42003-P-related SAE after the last formal follow-up 
period of the trial, these should still be reported to GW PVD. 
Any other problem discovered after Visit 10 that is deemed to be an unexpected safety 
issue and is likely to have an impact on patients who have taken part in the trial must be

treated as an SAE and reported to GW PVD.  Such post-trial SAEs do not need to be 
recorded on the patient’s eCRF if editing rights to the eCRF have been removed due to 
the final trial data lock.  GW Research Ltd PVD may request safety follow-up 
information after the final trial visit in order to investigate a potential safety issue. 
Contact details for GW PVD are provided at the front of the center files for all trial 
centers. 
12.4 
Pregnancy 
Any patient who has become pregnant while receiving GWP42003-P or within 90 days of 
the last dose of GWP42003-P must be reported to GW PVD.  Where possible, the 
investigator should provide the outcome of the pregnancy. 
All pregnancies must be recorded in the eCRF within 24 hours of awareness.  GW PVD 
will be automatically notified that a pregnancy has been recorded.  Any additional 
information required for a case (follow-up or corrections to the original case) will be 
requested by GW PVD through eCRF queries. 
The investigator is not obliged to actively monitor for any pregnancies that commence 
more than 90 days after the final dose of GWP42003-P.  However, if the investigator 
becomes aware of a new pregnancy outside this time limit, then he/she should report it as 
above.  GW PVD will follow up for all pregnancy outcomes. 
12.5 
Causality Assessment 
Causality assessment is required for all AEs and SAEs.  Causality assessment must only 
be assigned by the investigator.  All cases judged as having a reasonable suspected causal 
relationship to GWP42003-P must be reported as such.  The expression “reasonable 
causal relationship” is meant to convey in general that there are facts (evidence) or 
arguments to suggest a causal relationship. 
The following question, which must be answered by the investigator for all AEs, is used 
to capture the reasonable causal relationship of an event to GWP42003-P: 
“In your opinion, is there a plausible relationship to the IMP?”  The answer is either 
“yes” or “no.” 
Events that start before the first dose of the IMP (pretreatment) should be considered as 
not causally related.  Where a pretreatment event worsens in severity following the first 
dose of the IMP, a new event record should be entered into the eCRF.

Considering the explanation given above, investigators are strongly encouraged to 
express their opinion on what the cause of an AE might be.  For individual patients, the 
investigator is usually in the best position to assess the underlying suspected cause of an 
AE.  For all AEs, especially SAEs, it is important that the investigator assess not only the 
possible role of GWP42003-P but also other potential contributing factors.  Factors for 
consideration of the underlying cause may include the following: 
• Medical and disease history 
• Lack of efficacy/worsening of treated condition 
• Concomitant or previous treatment 
• IMP discontinuation 
• Protocol-related procedure 
12.6 
Reporting Procedures for All Adverse Events 
All AEs (including SAEs) occurring during the trial will be reported on the running logs 
in the AE section of the eCRF.  This includes all events from the time following 
screening (Visit 1) up to and including the post-trial follow-up visit (Visit 10), whether or 
not attributed to GWP42003-P and observed by the investigator or patient. 
For the patient’s expected seizure types, these do not routinely require documentation as 
AEs.  However, any worsening, including a change in the pattern or severity of seizures, 
should be documented in the CRF if deemed to meet the definition of an AE, in the 
investigator’s opinion. 
Any AE that meets the SAE criteria should still be reported as an SAE. 
The following information will need to be provided for all AEs: 
A) Adverse Event (Diagnosis or Syndrome, if Known, or Signs and Symptoms) 
Where the investigator cannot determine a diagnosis, signs or symptoms should be 
recorded in the AE section of the eCRF.  Once a diagnosis has been determined, the AE 
section of the eCRF must be updated to reflect the diagnosis in replacement of the 
original symptoms.  In circumstances where only a provisional diagnosis is possible 
(working diagnosis), the eCRF must be updated to reflect the provisional diagnosis in 
replacement of the original symptoms.  In some circumstances, it may be relevant for the 
investigator to include the symptoms alongside the diagnosis in the verbatim event

description.  However, the diagnosis (full or provisional) should be clearly stated, 
e.g., fever and malaise due to respiratory tract infection. 
B) Adverse Event Start Date and Stop Date 
The start and stop dates of the event must be provided.  All AEs require these fields to be 
completed in full.  Partial dates or missing dates are not normally acceptable, and 
significant effort must be undertaken to obtain any unknown information.  If a precise 
date is not known, an estimated date should be provided instead.  When a complete date 
cannot be given, record as much information as possible (i.e., the month and year or, in 
exceptional circumstances, just the year).  When the actual start date becomes known, the 
eCRF must be updated to replace the previously recorded date. 
C) Outcome 
The outcome of the event must be recorded accurately and classified into one of the 
following categories: 
• Recovered 
• Recovered with sequelae 
• Continuing 
• Patient died 
D) Severity 
When describing the severity of an AE, the terms mild, moderate, or severe should be 
used.  Clinical judgment should be used when determining which severity applies to any 
AE. 
If the severity of an AE fluctuates day to day, e.g., a headache or constipation, the change 
in severity should not be recorded each time; instead, only the worst observed severity 
should be recorded, with the AE start and stop dates relating to the overall event duration, 
regardless of severity. 
A severe AE is not the same as an SAE.  For example, a patient may have severe 
vomiting, but the event does not result in any of the SAE criteria above.  Therefore, it 
should not be classified as serious. 
E) Causality 
See Section 12.5.

F) Action Taken with IMP 
This question refers to the action taken with GWP42003-P due to an AE.  The action with 
GWP42003-P must be classified as follows: 
• None 
• Dose reduced temporarily 
• Dose reduced 
• IMP interrupted 
• IMP stopped 
12.7 
Follow-up Procedures for Adverse Events 
The investigator may be asked to provide follow-up information to GW PVD for any AEs 
reported or during the investigation of potential safety issues.  Such requests for 
additional safety information may occur post Visit 10, after the trial. 
Adverse events considered related to GWP42003-P by the investigator or the sponsor 
should be followed up until resolution or the event is considered stable. 
It will be left to the investigator’s clinical judgment whether or not an AE is of sufficient 
severity to require the patient’s removal from treatment.  A patient may also voluntarily 
discontinue from treatment due to what she perceives as an intolerable AE.  Further 
details of discontinuation are presented in Section 10.  If either of these occurs, the 
patient must permanently discontinue from treatment and be given appropriate care under 
medical supervision until symptoms cease or the condition becomes stable.  If a safety 
concern is identified following withdrawal of a patient, GW may contact the investigator 
for additional follow-up information. 
12.8 
Potential Cases of Drug-induced Liver Injury 
All investigational centers are required to submit to GW PVD the laboratory results for 
any patient after randomization who meets the criteria for the selected laboratory 
parameters as follows:  
• ALT or AST > 3 × ULN with the appearance of fatigue, nausea, vomiting, right 
upper quadrant pain or tenderness, fever, rash, and/or eosinophilia (> 5%) 
• ALT or AST > 8 × ULN

V1, 24Sep15 
• ALT or AST > 5 × ULN for more than 2 weeks 
• ALT or AST > 3 × ULN and (TBL > 2 × ULN or INR > 1.5) 
These reports must be sent to GW PVD via e-mail (see Appendix 2.2) within 24 hours of 
becoming aware of the results.  In addition, a copy of the patient’s baseline laboratory 
results with all reports should be sent to GW PVD. 
Abnormal values in AST and/or ALT concurrent with abnormal elevations in TBL that 
meet the criteria outlined above are considered potential cases of drug-induced liver 
injury and will be considered as protocol-defined criteria for treatment discontinuation 
and important medical events.  The investigator will arrange for the patient to return to 
the investigational center as soon as possible (within 24 to 48 hours of notice of abnormal 
results) for a repeat assessment of ALT, AST, TBL, alkaline phosphatase, 
gamma-glutamyl transferase levels, eosinophils as well as for testing INR (prothrombin 
time), detailed history; and physical examination.  Patients should be followed this way 
until all abnormalities have normalized (in the investigator’s opinion) or returned to the 
baseline state.  However, if the above transaminase elevation criteria are confirmed by 
the first set of follow-up laboratory tests, the patient must be withdrawn from the trial. 
Elevations in ALT or AST > 3 × ULN or TBL > 2 × ULN alone are not considered 
potential cases of drug-induced liver injury but will be followed as detailed above, within 
72 hours’ notice of abnormal results.  In cases where after Visit 1, ALT or AST are > 3 
× ULN, INR testing must be requested.  If only the hepatic function monitoring panel 
was requested and ALT or AST > 3 × ULN, both INR and hematology panel 
(eosinophils) must be requested.  If the patient cannot return to the investigational center, 
repeat assessments may be done at a local laboratory, and the results should be sent to 
GW PVD. 
12.9 
Notification of Safety Information to Investigators, Regulatory 
Authorities, and IRBs/IECs 
In accordance with the EU Clinical Trials Directive78 relevant parts of the FDA Code of 
Federal Regulations80 and any national regulations, GW will inform the investigators, 
regulatory authorities, and relevant IRBs/IECs of all relevant safety information.  This 
will include the reporting of relevant SAEs and all suspected unexpected serious adverse 
reactions (SUSARs).

This information will be provided through 2 sources: 
1. IB52: A compilation of the clinical and nonclinical safety data available on the 
IMP that are relevant to the trial.  The IB is updated at least annually or when 
important new safety information becomes available. 
2. Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) reports: 
These reports are issued every time a SUSAR is reported to GW.  They provide 
information on individual case reports and are sent to all the regulatory 
authorities, the relevant central ethics committees that have approved the trial, and 
the investigators.  As required, the investigators should notify their regional 
IRBs/IECs of SAEs or SUSARs occurring at their center and other AE reports, 
i.e., CIOMS reports and any additional safety documentation received from GW, 
in accordance with local procedures. 
In the US, investigators are normally required to report promptly to their IRBs all 
unanticipated problems involving risks to patients, or others, including AEs that should 
be considered unanticipated problems.  Based on current FDA guidance75 the following 
clarification is provided in determining what constitutes an unanticipated problem: 
In general, an AE observed during the conduct of a trial should be considered an 
unanticipated problem involving risk to patients and reported to the IRB only if it were 
unexpected, were serious, and would have implications for the conduct of the trial 
(e.g., requiring a significant, and usually safety-related, change in the protocol, such as 
revising inclusion/exclusion criteria or including a new monitoring requirement, informed 
consent/assent, or IB).  An individual AE occurrence ordinarily does not meet these 
criteria, because as an isolated event, its implications for the trial cannot be understood. 
The FDA guidance80 states that, accordingly, to satisfy the investigator’s obligation to 
notify the IRB of unanticipated problems, any investigators participating in a multicenter 
trial may rely on the sponsor’s assessment and provide to the IRB a report of the 
unanticipated problem prepared by the sponsor. 
GW Research Ltd will inform the investigators, regulatory authorities, and relevant 
IRBs/IECs of any safety issues or case reports that are considered to be unanticipated and 
provide such reports as mentioned above.  It should be noted that a single SUSAR report 
notified to the investigators in the trial does not necessarily constitute an unanticipated 
problem unless identified by GW in the submission cover letter.

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
Further details of the proposed statistical analysis will be documented in a statistical 
analysis plan (SAP).  Any deviations from the original SAP will be described in the final 
clinical study report. 
13.1 
Sample Size, Power, and Significance Levels 
There is no formal sample size calculation for this trial.  All patients with RTT who 
completed the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (GWND18064) who 
wish to take GWP42003-P and who meet eligibility criteria can be included in this trial.   
Approximately 252 patients will be enrolled.  
13.2 
Interim Analysis 
No formal interim analysis will be conducted.  
13.3 
Analysis Sets 
For this trial there will be 1 analysis set: 
Safety Analysis Set 
• All patients who receive at least 1 dose of GWP42003-P in the trial will be 
included.  Only patients for whom it has been confirmed that they did not take any 
GWP42003-P will be excluded from this safety analysis set.  This analysis set will 
be used to report the safety data.  
13.3.1 
Protocol Deviations 
Protocol deviations will be listed and reasons for exclusion from the analysis population 
will be summarized.   
13.4 
General Considerations 
Unless stated otherwise, continuous variables will be summarized showing the number of 
nonmissing values (n), mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum, and 
categorical variables will be summarized showing the number and percentage of patients 
falling in each category. 
For clinic visit-based endpoints, baseline is defined as the last record or measure 
collected prior to the first dose of IMP in the RCT.

• Effects on menstruation cycles. 
• Suicidality. 
• Change in growth and development by measurement of height, weight, serum 
IGF-1 levels, and Tanner Staging (for patients aged ≥ 7 years or earlier, if 
clinically indicated by onset of menarche or other signs of precocious puberty). 
13.6.2.1 
Treatment Compliance and Extent of Treatment Exposure 
Treatment compliance and exposure to treatment will be summarized. 
13.6.2.2 
Adverse Events 
AEs will be coded according to the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 
dictionary. 
A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is one that started or worsened in severity or 
seriousness following the first dose of IMP.  
Descriptive presentations of TEAEs will be given by preferred term and system organ 
class for the safety analysis set.  The number of patients reporting at least 1 TEAE will be 
provided. 
The following summaries will be produced as a minimum: 
• All-causality TEAEs. 
• Treatment-related AEs. 
• All-causality TEAEs by maximal severity. 
• All-causality serious TEAEs. 
• Treatment-related serious TEAEs. 
• TEAEs reported as leading to permanent cessation of IMP. 
• Fatal TEAEs. 
13.6.2.3 
Vital Signs, 12-Lead Electrocardiogram, Physical Examination, 
and Other Safety Data 
Vital signs, ECG, physical examination, Tanner Staging, and serum IGF-1 levels will be 
summarized at each time point during the treatment period using appropriate summary 
statistics.  Changes in the vital signs and serum IGF-1 levels from baseline of the RCT to 
end of treatment will be summarized.

Menstruation 
Details of menstruation cycles (where appropriate) will be summarized and listed as 
appropriate. 
13.6.2.5.1 
Suicidality 
Suicidality assessment responses will be summarized and listed as appropriate. 
13.6.3 
Secondary Endpoint(s) 
There are several secondary endpoints.  For each endpoint, the change from baseline of 
the RCT will be derived in patients taking each GWP42003-P dose.  For visit-based 
endpoints, baseline will be taken as the last measurement prior to the first dose of IMP 
(e.g. Visit 1 of the RCT). 
The following secondary endpoints will be assessed by evaluating changes relative to the 
prerandomization baseline of the RCT and will be summarized using appropriate 
descriptive statistics: 
• RSBQ. 
• CGI-I.  
• CGI-S. 
• MBA-9. 
• CSHQ. 
For patients who complete the trial, regardless of whether IMP is discontinued or not, the 
visit effect used in the analysis will correspond to the score at each trial visit 
(see Appendix 1).  However, patients who withdraw from the trial are required to 
complete the procedures at Visit 8 at the time of withdrawal.  For these patients, their 
Visit 8 data will be assigned to the nearest visit (for which the assessment is scheduled to 
be performed), based on the day of the visit.  Further details will be specified in the SAP.

Initial master informed consent and assent forms will be prepared by GW and provided to 
the investigator, who will tailor these for their center by adding the center’s contact 
details and by using headed paper.  The GW clinical manager will communicate updates 
to the template by letter.  The written informed consent/assent documents should be 
prepared in the language(s) of the potential patient population. 
Before a patient’s involvement in the trial, the investigator is responsible for obtaining 
written informed consent from the patient’s parent(s)/legal representative after adequate 
explanation of the aims, methods, anticipated benefits and potential hazards of the trial 
and before any trial-specific procedures are performed or any patient-related data are 
recorded for the trial.  The nominated caregiver will be asked to consent to complete the 
QoL questionnaires.  In cases where the patient possesses adequate understanding, assent 
will be taken (if allowed per local regulations) along with parent(s)/legal representative 
consent.  Assent is defined as the minor’s permission or affirmative agreement to 
participate in the trial.  The patient and/or parent(s)/legal representative must have ample 
time to consider the information provided before giving written consent/assent.  More 
specific definitions of “ample time” may be enforced if required by IRBs/IECs or local 
regulations. 
The acquisition of informed consent/assent must be documented in the patient’s medical 
records and the informed consent/assent forms must be signed and personally dated by 
the patient and/or parent(s)/legal representative/nominated caregiver (as applicable) and 
by the person who conducted the informed consent/assent discussion.  GW Research Ltd 
also requires a physician to be present for consent/assent and to sign the consent/assent 
forms.  The original signed informed consent/assent forms should be retained and a copy

GW will ensure that the center is informed of when screening of patients can commence.  
15.5 
Patient Confidentiality 
The investigator must ensure that the patient’s anonymity is maintained.  In the eCRFs or 
other documents submitted to GW, patients should be identified by their initials and race 
(if allowed per local regulations) and their trial screening number only.  Documents that 
are not for submission to GW, e.g. signed informed consent/assent forms, should be kept 
in strict confidence by the investigator. 
In compliance with the FDA regulations relating to GCP and clinical trials75,76,77,86 and 
the EU Clinical Trials Directive78and the ICH Harmonised Guideline: Integrated 
Addendum to ICH E6(R1): Guideline for GCP E6(R2)74 it is required that the 
investigator and institution permit authorized representatives of the company, the 
regulatory authorities, and the IRB/IEC have direct access to review the patient’s original 
medical records for verification of trial-related procedures and data.  Direct access 
includes examining, analyzing, verifying, and reproducing any records and reports that 
are important to the evaluation of the trial.  The investigator is obligated to inform the 
patient that his/her trial-related records will be reviewed by the above-named 
representatives without violating the confidentiality of the patient. 
All information concerning the IMP and operations of GW such as patent applications,

ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL OBLIGATIONS 
16.1 
Protocol Amendments and End of Trial or Termination 
Protocol amendments must be made only with the prior approval of GW.  Agreement 
from the investigator must be obtained for all protocol amendments and amendments to 
the informed consent/assent documents.  The IRB/IEC and regulatory authorities must be 
informed of all substantial amendments and give approval.  Amendments for 
administrational changes can be submitted to the IRB/IEC for information only.  The 
investigator must send a copy of the approval letter from the IRB/IEC to GW. 
Both GW and the investigator reserve the right to terminate the trial, according to the 
clinical trial agreement.  The investigator must notify the IRB/IEC in writing of the trial’s 
completion or early termination and send a copy of the notification to GW. 
16.2 
Trial Documentation and Storage 
The investigator must maintain a list of appropriately qualified persons to whom he/she 
has delegated trial duties.  All persons authorized to make entries in and/or corrections to 
eCRFs will be included on the GW Delegation of Authority and Signature form. 
Source documents are original documents, data, and records containing all 
protocol-specified information from which the patient’s eCRF data are obtained.  These 
include, but are not limited to, hospital records, clinical and office charts, laboratory and 
pharmacy records, diaries, microfiches, radiographs, and correspondence.  A source data 
verification plan, identifying the source for each data point at each center, will be agreed 
with each center prior to patient recruitment.  In the rare situations of data (that would 
normally be recorded elsewhere) being recorded directly into the eCRF in error, then the 
source data from the eCRF should be transcribed into the patient’s notes with appropriate 
signature and date to provide a full audit trail. 
The investigator and trial staff are responsible for maintaining a comprehensive and 
centralized filing system of all trial-related, essential documentation (as outlined in ICH 
Harmonised Guideline: Integrated Addendum to ICH E6(R1): Guideline for GCP 
E6[R2], Section 8.274), suitable for inspection at any time by representatives from GW 
and/or applicable regulatory authorities.  Elements should include the following: 
• Patient files containing completed eCRFs, informed consent/assent forms, and 
supporting copies of source documentation.

• Trial files containing the protocol with all amendments, IB, copies of pretrial 
documentation (see Section 15.4), and all correspondence to and from the 
IRB/IEC and GW. 
• Enrollment log of all patients who consented to take part in the trial. 
• Screening and recruitment log of all patients screened and whether or not they 
were recruited into the trial (i.e. randomized and/or dosed with IMP). 
• Proof of receipt, IMP accountability record, return of IMP for destruction, final 
IMP reconciliation statement, and all drug-related correspondence. 
In addition, all original source documents supporting entries in the eCRFs must be 
maintained and be readily available. 
Following completion or termination of a clinical trial, GW will initiate proper archive of 
clinical trial-related documentation and electronic records generated by the investigator 
and/or GW.  All clinical trial-related documents and electronic records will be retained 
within an archiving system for a period dependent on the need and for a minimum of 
25 years.  Essential documents must be retained until at least 2 years after the last 
approval of a marketing application in an ICH region and until there are no pending or 
contemplated marketing applications in an ICH region or until at least 2 years have 
elapsed since the formal discontinuation of clinical development of the IMP.  These 
documents must be retained for a longer period, however, if required by the applicable 
regulatory requirements79 or if needed by GW. 
GW Research Ltd will inform the investigators for each center in writing of the need for 
record retention.  No trial document may be destroyed without prior written agreement 
between GW and the investigator.  Should the investigator wish to assign the trial records 
to another party or move them to another location, he/she must notify GW in writing of 
the new responsible person and/or the new location. 
16.3 
Trial Monitoring and Data Collection 
The GW representative and regulatory authority inspectors are responsible for contacting 
and visiting the investigator for the purpose of inspecting the facilities and, upon request, 
inspecting the various records of the trial, e.g. eCRFs and other pertinent data, provided 
that patient confidentiality is respected. 
The GW trial monitor, or designee, is responsible for inspecting the eCRFs, 
questionnaires, and dosing schedule at regular intervals throughout the trial to verify

adherence to the protocol, completeness, accuracy and consistency of the data, and 
adherence to local regulations on the conduct of clinical research.  The trial monitor must 
have access to patient medical records and other trial-related records needed to verify the 
entries on the eCRFs. 
The investigator agrees to cooperate with the trial monitor to ensure that any problems 
detected in the course of these monitoring visits are resolved. 
To ensure the quality of clinical data across all patients and centers, a clinical data 
management review will be performed on patient data received at GW or a contract 
research organization (CRO).  During this review, patient data will be checked for 
consistency, omissions, and any apparent discrepancies.  In addition, the data will be 
reviewed for adherence to the protocol and FDA regulations75,76,77,86 ICH Harmonised 
Guideline: Integrated Addendum to ICH E6(R1): Guideline for GCP E6(R2)74 and all 
other applicable regulatory requirements.  To resolve any questions arising from the 
clinical data management review process, data queries and/or center notifications will be 
sent to the center for completion and then returned to GW or the CRO, as applicable.  
Investigators and caregivers will be trained on the importance of adhering to the trial 
requirements and assessment completion.  Where issues are identified, additional training 
will be provided. 
16.4 
Quality Assurance 
In accordance with the FDA regulations75,76,77,86 the EU Clinical Trials Directive78, the 
ICH Harmonised Guideline: Integrated Addendum to ICH E6(R1): Guideline for GCP 
E6(R2),74 and the sponsor’s audit plans, representatives from GW’s Clinical Quality 
Assurance Department may select this trial for audit.  Inspection of center facilities, 
e.g. pharmacy, drug storage areas, and laboratories and review of trial-related records will 
occur to evaluate the trial conduct and compliance with the protocol, the EU Clinical 
Trials Directive,78 the ICH Harmonised Guideline: Integrated Addendum to ICH E6(R1): 
Guideline for GCP E6(R2),74 and applicable regulatory requirements. 
16.5 
Compensation 
GW will indemnify the investigator and the trial center in the event of any claim in 
respect of personal injury arising due to a patient’s involvement in the trial, provided that 
the trial protocol has been adhered to.  This would include claims arising out of or 
relating to the administration of the IMP or any clinical intervention or procedure

b To be performed to all patients completing or withdrawing from the trial.  Patients who withdraw early should commence the 10-day GWP42003-P taper 
period, if possible. 
c A safety follow-up Visit 4 weeks after last GWP42003-P dose is required for all patients who withdraw from the trial or complete the trial. 
d Informed consent must be obtained prior to any trial-related procedures.  In cases where the patient possesses adequate understanding, assent will be taken 
along with parent(s)/legal representative consent.  The nominated caregiver will be asked to complete the quality of life questionnaires. 
e Always required. 
f Required only if OLE Visit 1 is > 28 days after RCT Visit 9. 
g Required if OLE Visit 1 does not occur on the same day as RCT Visit 9.  
h Determination of serum IGF-1 levels at Visit 1 and 8 only; IGF-1 laboratory results will remain blinded throughout the trial. 
i Hepatic function monitoring is required following increases in GWP42003-P dose or introduction of medications that are known to impact liver function.  
If the concerned change does not occur within 1 month of a scheduled biochemistry assessment, the investigator should perform an additional hepatic 
monitoring within 1 month of the change.  Hepatic monitoring at Visit 7 is required for patients taking concomitant valproic acid or whose dose exceeds 
15 mg/kg/day. 
j  The dosing schedule is to be completed by the caregiver daily throughout the trial and reviewed at Visits 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

Tanner Staging 
Tanner Staging72 is to be completed by all female adolescent patients (i.e. ≥ 7 years or 
7 to less than 18 years of age71 at the time of signing the informed consent/assent form or 
earlier, if clinically indicated by onset of menarche or other signs of precocious puberty). 
Female Development and Pubic Hair 
Please check the box next to the most appropriate stage; in the event that qualifying 
characteristics are not within the same stage, defer to the lesser stage as the overall 
Tanner Score. 
Tanner Stage 1 (Prepubertal, typically 10 years and younger) 
• No glandular tissue; areola follows the skin contours of the chest. 
• No pubic hair at all. 
Tanner Stage 2 (10 to 11.5 years) 
• Breast bud forms, with small area of surrounding glandular tissue; areola begins 
to widen. 
• Small amount of long, downy hair with slight pigmentation on the labia majora. 
Tanner Stage 3 (11.5 to 13 years) 
• Breast begins to become more elevated and extends beyond the 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. 
Tanner Stage 4 (13 to 15 years) 
• 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. 
Tanner Stage 5 (15+ years) 
• Breast reaches final adult size; areola returns to contour of the surrounding breast, 
with a projecting central papilla. 
• Hair extends to medial surface of the thighs.

PROTOCOL SYNOPSIS 
Trial Title 
An Open-label Extension Trial to Investigate the Long-term Safety 
of Cannabidiol Oral Solution (GWP42003-P, CBD-OS) in Patients 
with Rett Syndrome 
Clinical Trial Type 
Phase 3 
Indication 
Rett syndrome (RTT) [typical or atypical] 
Primary Objective 
To evaluate the long-term safety of GWP42003-P in patients with 
RTT 
Secondary 
Objective(s) 
Secondary objectives: 
• To evaluate the effect of GWP42003-P in measures of disease 
severity 
o Rett Syndrome Behaviour Questionnaire (RSBQ) 
o Clinical Global Impressions - Improvement (CGI-I) 
o Clinical Global Impressions - Severity (CGI-S) 
o 9-items Motor Behavioral Assessment (MBA-9) 
o Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) 
Exploratory objectives: 
• To evaluate the effect of GWP42003-P on caregiver and 
patient quality of life (QoL) 
o 36-item Short Form [SF-36] and Child Health 
Questionnaire Parent Form 50 [CHQ-PF50], 
respectively 
• To evaluate the effect of GWP42003-P on health utilization 
o Hospital Services Use Questionnaire 
o Caregiver Assessment of Rett Symptoms 
Trial Design 
This is a multicenter, open-label extension (OLE) trial for patients 
with RTT who have completed the randomized, double-blind, 
placebo-controlled trial (GWND18064).   
Entry to this OLE trial is recommended to be on the same day as 
Visit 9 of the randomized controlled trial (RCT), GWND18064; 
however, patients may enter the OLE trial up to the point of the 
RCT follow-up visit (Visit 11).   
All patients entering this OLE trial will begin dosing with 
5 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P (2.5 mg/kg twice daily [b.i.d.]) on 
Day 1.  Patients will be observed, and after 1 week, the dose may 
be escalated further, at the investigator’s discretion, up to 
15 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P (7.5 mg/kg b.i.d.), in weekly

increments of 5 mg/kg/day (2.5 mg/kg b.i.d.).   
Patients should then remain on a stable dose of GWP42003-P for 
the duration of the maintenance period of the trial (up to 
104 weeks), with the option for doses to be decreased or increased 
to a maximum dose of 20 mg/kg/day (10 mg/kg b.i.d.) based on 
clinical response and tolerability as deemed necessary by the 
investigator, until the optimal dose is found.  Patients whose dose 
has been decreased can have their dose increased again if 
tolerability improves.  
At the end of treatment (Visit 14 [Day 729]), the dose of 
GWP42003-P will be reduced over a 10-day taper period, and 
patients will enter the 4-week follow-up period.  
If a patient permanently discontinues treatment at any point during 
the trial, GWP42003-P should be gradually reduced over 10 days 
(unless inadvisable due to an adverse event [AE]).  
The patient should attend a withdrawal visit (Visit 14) as soon as 
possible after the decision is made to permanently discontinue 
GWP42003-P. Unless inadvisable due to an AE, the patient will 
taper GWP42003-P and attend the End of Taper visit (Visit 15) 
and then complete the 4-week follow-up period.   
Primary Endpoint 
Safety: 
The long-term safety profile of GWP42003-P will be assessed by 
evaluating changes in the following, relative to the 
prerandomization baseline of the RCT: 
• AEs 
• Clinical laboratory parameters 
• Vital signs 
• Physical examination procedures 
• 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) 
• Effects on menstruation cycles 
• Suicidality 
• Change in growth and development by measurement of 
height, weight, serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) 
levels, and Tanner Staging (for patients aged ≥ 7 years or 
earlier, if clinically indicated by the onset of menarche or 
other signs of precocious puberty) 
Secondary 
Endpoint(s) 
Secondary endpoints: 
The following will be assessed by evaluating changes relative to 
the prerandomization baseline of the RCT:

the investigator’s opinion) to comply with all trial 
requirements (including the completion of all caregiver 
assessments by the same caregiver throughout the trial). 
• Patient must have the ability to swallow the investigational

allow the patient’s primary care practitioner (if the patient 
has one) and consultant (if the patient has one) to be 
notified of participation in the trial if the primary care 
practitioner/consultant is different from the investigator. 
Exclusion criteria  
If the RCT ‘End of Treatment’/‘End of Taper Period’ visit 
assessments or Visit 1 reassessments (as applicable) raise any 
safety concerns, the investigator should consider whether it will be 
appropriate for the patient to continue to participate in the OLE 
trial or if the patient should be withdrawn. 
The patient may not enter the trial if ANY of the following apply: 
• Patient meets the withdrawal criteria (including clinically 
significant abnormal laboratory values), in the 
investigator’s opinion.  
• Patient met during the RCT the criteria for permanent IMP 
discontinuation (unless in case of an AE, if AE was not 
considered related with the IMP; patients that met alanine 
aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 
elevations discontinuation criteria must be excluded). 
• Females of childbearing potential, unless willing to ensure 
that they or their partner use a highly effective method of 
birth control (e.g., combined [estrogen and progestogen 
containing] hormonal contraceptiona associated with 
inhibition of ovulation [oral, intravaginal or transdermal], 
progestogen-only hormonal contraceptiona associated with 
inhibition of ovulation [oral, injectable or implantableb] 
intrauterine devices/hormone-releasing systemsc, bilateral 
tubal occlusiona, vasectomized partnera,d, sexual 
abstinencee during the trial and for 3 months after the last 
 
a The effect of GWP42003-P on oral contraceptives has not been investigated.  GWP42003-P is 
not an inducer of CYP3A4 and therefore is not expected to alter the PK of hormonal 
contraceptives. 
b Contraception methods that are considered to have low user dependency. 
c Contraception methods that are considered to have low user dependency. 
d Provided that partner is the sole sexual partner of the trial patient of childbearing potential and 
that the vasectomized partner has received medical assessment of the surgical success. 
e Only if defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk 
associated with the trial treatments.  The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in 
relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient.

dose. 
• Patient has been previously enrolled and dosed in this trial. 
• Patient is unwilling to abstain from donation of blood 
during the trial. 
• Male participants who are fertile (i.e., after puberty unless 
permanently sterile by bilateral orchidectomy) and with a 
partner of childbearing potential unless agree to ensure that 
they use male contraception (e.g., condom) or remain 
sexually abstinent during the trial and for 3 months after the 
last dose. 
Criteria for 
Withdrawal 
Patient must be withdrawn from the trial if any of the following 
apply: 
• Administrative decision by the investigator, GW Research 
Ltd (GW), or a regulatory authority 
• Pregnancy 
• Protocol deviation that is considered to potentially 
compromise the safety of the patient 
• Withdrawal of patient assent 
• Withdrawal of parent(s)/legal representative consent 
• ALT or AST > 3 × upper limit of normal (ULN) with the 
appearance of fatigue, nausea, vomiting, right upper 
quadrant pain, or tenderness, fever, rash, and/or 
eosinophilia (> 5%) 
• ALT or AST > 8 × ULN 
• ALT or AST > 5 × ULN for more than 2 weeks 
• ALT or AST > 3 × ULN and (total bilirubin [TBL] 
> 2 × ULN or international normalized ratio [INR] > 1.5) 
Note: Prior to withdrawal for the transaminase elevations noted 
above, the investigator may choose to confirm the transaminase 
elevations by repeating the following laboratory tests within 24 
to 48 hours: ALT, AST, TBL, INR, % eosinophils, gamma-
glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase, and eosinophils.  
Should the above transaminase elevation criteria be 
confirmed, the patient must be withdrawn from the trial.  
In cases where the transaminase elevation withdrawal 
criteria are not met or confirmed, the dose of IMP or a 
concomitant medication with known hepatotoxicity may be 
reduced.  Dose adjustments should be discussed with the 
GW medical monitor.  The final decision regarding dose

adjustments should be taken by the investigator. 
• Lost to follow-up. 
The patient may also be withdrawn from the trial for any of the 
following: 
• Patient or caregiver noncompliance 
• AE (including clinically significant laboratory results) that, 
in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the 
continued safe participation of the patient in the trial 
• Failure to meet the eligibility criteria 
• Any evidence of use of drugs of abuse or drug diversion 
• Suicidal ideation or behavior during the treatment period 
Investigational 
Medicinal Product: 
Formulation, Mode 
of Administration, 
Dose, and Regimen 
GWP42003-P oral solution is formulated as follows: (100 mg/mL 
cannabidiol [CBD] in sesame oil with anhydrous ethanol, 
sweetener [sucralose], and strawberry flavoring).  
GWP42003-P is to be taken orally (swallowed) b.i.d. (morning and 
evening) using the syringe(s) provided.  GWP42003-P should be 
taken at the same time each day consistently with food, i.e., within 
30 minutes after the end of a meal and in line with the patients’ 
normal feeding schedule and dietary habits.  The time of 
GWP42003-P administration in relation to food should be kept 
consistent throughout the trial.  In patients with G- or NG-tubes but 
where oral dosing of GWP42003-P is possible, oral dosing is 
preferable.  Only in patients where oral dosing is not possible 
should GWP42003-P be administered via G- or NG-tubes made 
from polyurethane or silicon only  The investigator should contact 
the medical monitor to review IMP administration guidelines if 
administration via G-or NG-tubes is planned.  The volume of 
GWP42003-P will be determined by patient’s weight.   
All patients will begin dosing with 5 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P 
(2.5 mg/kg b.i.d.) for 1 week.  After 1 week’s treatment, depending 
on clinical response and tolerability, the patients’ dose can be 
further increased in weekly increments of 5 mg/kg/day (2.5 mg/kg 
b.i.d.) up to 15 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P (7.5 mg/kg b.i.d.).   
Patients should then remain on a stable dose of GWP42003-P for 
the duration of the maintenance period of the trial (up to 
104 weeks), with the option for doses to be decreased or increased 
to a maximum dose of 20 mg/kg/day (10 mg/kg b.i.d.) based on 
clinical response and tolerability, as deemed necessary by the 
investigator. 
Patients discontinuing GWP42003-P treatment at the end of the 
trial or at any other time if they discontinue treatment early should

undergo a 10-day taper period (unless continued dosing is 
inadvisable, e.g., due to an AE). 
Control Group 
Not applicable. 
Procedures 
Before the patient undergoes any assessments or observations, the 
patient’s parent(s)/legal representative is required to give written 
informed consent.  The nominated caregiver will be asked to 
consent to complete the QoL questionnaires.  In cases where the 
patient possesses adequate understanding, the patient’s assent will 
be taken, along with parent(s)/legal representative consent.  Due to 
the degree of cognitive impairment in patients with RTT, patients 
18 years of age or older will not be required to provide consent and 
will only be required to provide assent in cases where the patient 
possesses adequate understanding, along with parent(s)/legal 
representative consent.  Visits 2, 3, and 16 (safety visits) are to be 
conducted by telephone.   
OLE Visit 1 (Day 1): Every effort should be made for this visit to 
take place on the same day as the RCT ‘End of Treatment’ visit.  
However, patients can still enter the OLE trial up to the point of 
the RCT follow-up visit (Visit 11).   
OLE Visit 1 assessments required for all patients: 
• 
Informed consent and assent  
• 
Eligibility check 
• 
New medical history 
• 
AE review 
• 
GWP42003-P dispensing 
OLE Visit 1 assessments required if OLE Visit 1 occurs on a 
different date than RCT Visit 9: 
• 
Vital signs 
• 
Suicidality assessment 
• 
Hospital Services Use Questionnaire  
OLE Visit 1 assessments required if OLE Visit 1 occurs 
> 28 days after RCT Visit 9: 
• 
Physical examination (including weight) 
• 
ECG 
• 
Clinical laboratory blood sampling (hematology and 
biochemistry) 
• 
Dipstick urinalysis (where possible)

1 month following increases in GWP42003-P dose or 
introduction of medications that are known to impact liver 
function.  If the concerned change does not occur within 
1 month of a scheduled biochemistry assessment, the 
investigator should perform an additional hepatic monitoring 
within 1 month of the change.

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE 
3.1 
Disease 
Rett syndrome is a rare, noninherited, X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder affecting 
approximately 1 in 10,000 live female births, resulting in abnormal neuronal 
development and function.1,2  Rett syndrome is one of the leading causes of intellectual 
disability in young girls and is only rarely seen in males.  Development of RTT is 
progressive, with early onset at 6 to 18 months characterized by a subtle slowing or 
regression of development.  Infants/young children aged 1 to 4 years progress to a rapid 
destructive phase characterized by loss of purposeful hand skills with stereotypic hand 
movements, loss of spoken language, breathing irregularities such as apnea and 
hyperventilation, cardiac irregularities, microcephaly, and autistic-like behaviors such as 
social withdrawal.  After a period of regression, the disorder enters a plateau phase 
associated with apraxia, motor problems, and seizures.  Over time, motor function 
continues to deteriorate, resulting in reduced mobility, scoliosis, rigidity, muscular 
weakness, and spasticity.3,4,5  
Rett syndrome is most commonly caused by heterozygous de novo mutations in the gene 
encoding methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2).6  Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 is 
widely expressed in many tissues, with the highest expression in the brain7; MeCP2 is 
essential for nerve cell function, acting as a complex transcriptional modulator of genes 
involved in neuronal development, synaptic transmission, and plasticity, including brain-
derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).8  However, mutations in MECP2 are not 
synonymous with RTT.  Between 3% and 5% of individuals who strictly meet clinical 
criteria for RTT do not have an identified mutation in MECP2, and only 50% to 70% of 
patients with atypical RTT have an identified mutation in MECP2.9  Moreover, 
cyclin-dependent kinase-like (CDKL5) and Forkhead box protein G1 (FOXG1) gene 
mutations are associated with 2 other variant forms of RTT.  Given that MECP2 
mutations are neither necessary nor sufficient to make the diagnosis of RTT, diagnostic 
criteria are often utilized9 at initial diagnosis. 
A number of genetic mouse models of RTT are available, where the deficiency of 
MeCP2, globally or specifically in developing neurons, produces similar clinical features 
to those in humans, including tremors, motor impairments, and stereotypical 
motions.10,11,12  Genetic and pharmacological intervention can ameliorate or reverse

behavioral deficits in Mecp2 knockout (KO) mice, suggesting that there is significant 
potential for pharmacological interventions to treat RTT.13 
Aberrant synaptic plasticity and an imbalance of excitatory and inhibitory neuronal 
networks is thought to underlie the neurological phenotype in RTT.14  Besides these 
neuronal deficits in RTT, there is evidence that neuroinflammation and glial cells may 
play a role.  Selective restoration of MeCP2 in astrocytes significantly improved 
locomotion and anxiety levels, restored respiratory functions, and greatly prolonged 
lifespan in mice, with modified astrocytes compared with control Mecp2 KO mice.  
Restoration of MeCP2 in astrocytes also returned dendritic morphology to normal.15  
Microglia from Mecp2 KO mice demonstrate enhanced release of glutamate, which is 
associated with neuronal toxicity, and also show impaired phagocytosis.16  There is also 
increasing evidence that the immune system and inflammation may be involved in 
several neurodevelopmental disorders, including RTT.17  In addition, symptoms such as 
hyperventilation and apnea can be indicative of mitochondrial dysfunction, and before the 
advent of genetic testing, RTT was proposed to be a metabolic disorder.  Changes in the 
morphology of mitochondria and genes associated with these structures as well as redox 
balance have been demonstrated in patients with RTT, but it is not clear whether some of 
these changes are a primary cause or secondary to these mechanisms.18  Finally, mouse 
models have highlighted a potential role of the growth factors, BDNF and insulin-like 
growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in the pathology of RTT19 an involvement that is corroborated by 
efficacy in clinical trials targeting these agents.20 
There is currently no curative therapy for RTT, and therefore, there is a critical need for 
treatments.21  Medical management of RTT is essentially symptomatic and supportive.  
Current options for patients focus on managing the associated conditions and include the 
use of medications to control breathing problems, heart rhythm abnormalities, seizures, 
constipation, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and sleep disturbances.22  Other therapy 
options include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and feeding 
assistance (feeding tubes or other feeding aids).21 
3.2 
Investigational Medicinal Product Background 
The investigational medicinal product (IMP), GWP42003-P, is formulated from extracts 
prepared from Cannabis sativa L. plants that have a defined chemical profile and contain 
consistent levels of cannabidiol (CBD) as the principal phytocannabinoid.  Extracts from

these plants are processed to yield purified (≥ 98%) CBD that typically contains 
< 0.1% (weight by weight) Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (for oral formulations).  The 
purified CBD is subsequently dissolved in excipients with added sweetener and flavoring. 
Cannabidiol possesses very low affinity and lacks appreciable functional activity at 
cannabinoid (CB) receptors, cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) and cannabinoid receptor 
type 2 (CB2).23  In addition, CBD does not significantly interact with enzymes 
responsible for the synthesis and degradation of endocannabinoids at clinically relevant 
concentrations.24,25,26,27  Furthermore, considerable data describing the 
polypharmacology of CBD and its modulation of nonendocannabinoid system targets 
exist.  Indeed, CBD has the ability to interact with multiple 7-transmembrane receptor 
systems, ion channels, transporters, and enzymes.28,29 
At least 2 mechanisms of anticonvulsant action are proposed for CBD.  The first is 
modulation of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization via antagonism of the G protein-coupled 
receptor 55 (GPR55) and/or activation (and subsequent desensitization) of transient 
receptor potential (TRP) channels, particularly transient receptor potential cation channel 
subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1).30,31,32  The second is inhibition of adenosine 
reuptake.33,34,35 
Based on the lack of pharmacological engagement by CBD at therapeutically relevant 
concentrations, modulation of the following targets is considered not relevant to the 
anticonvulsant mechanism of action: CB1 and CB2 receptors, fatty acid amide hydrolase, 
voltage-gated sodium channels, benzodiazepine, and γ-aminobutryic acid (GABA) 
binding sites of the GABAA receptor. 
Importantly, CBD does not produce THC-like euphoric effects.  Furthermore, CBD 
demonstrates anticonvulsant, antipsychotic, anxiolytic, neuroprotective, antioxidant, and 
anti-inflammatory activity in a range of nonclinical models and has received Food and 
Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the treatment of seizures associated with the 
Lennox-Gastaut syndrome or the Dravet syndrome in patients 2 years of age and older.36

Efficacy Pharmacology 
In a subchronic phencyclidine (PCP) model in rats where there is disruption of cognition 
and deficits in social behavior, CBD reversed the PCP-induced recognition memory

deficit at doses of 2, 20, and 100 mg/kg intraperitoneal (i.p.)37 and significantly reduced 
the subchronic PCP-induced increase in avoidance behavior at 2, 10, 20, and 100 mg/kg 
i.p.38  In addition, CBD improved cognitive deficits in other nonclinical models, 
including Fmr1 KO mice, a model of Fragile X syndrome, at 100 and 200 mg/kg i.p. and 
improved bicuculline-induced memory impairments in neonatal rats at 100 mg/kg i.p.39  
Cannabidiol also improved hypoxic ischemia in rats (1 mg/kg subcutaneous)40 and 
piglets (1 mg/kg i.v.)41 when CBD was given post hypoxia-ischemia injury.   
Cellular mechanisms that are thought to be involved in the neurobehavioral deficits 
present in RTT include aberrant synaptic plasticity14, neuroinflammation15,16 and 
immune17 and metabolic malfunction.18,42  A number of studies demonstrate that CBD 
may have the potential to modulate each of these basic pathophysiological mechanisms43 
albeit not in RTT models.  For example, CBD has the potential to modulate 
excitatory/inhibitory imbalance, as demonstrated by its anticonvulsant 
activity.44,45,46,47,48  Cannabidiol also shows anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions in 
a number of accepted animal models of inflammation, notably of the gut and the joints, 
where it inhibits the tissue production of chemical mediators of inflammation, such as 
tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-2.49  Cannabidiol (1 mg/kg i.v.) also reverses 
hypoxic ischemia-induced neuroinflammation, reactive oxygen species production, and 
excitatory and metabolic derangement in rats40 and piglets41 after a hypoxic ischemic 
insult.   
Loss of language and ability to communicate is also a feature of RTT.4  In a songbird 
model of vocal learning, damage to a cortical-like premotor region of the zebra finch 
brain results in a temporary disruption of vocal patterns that recovers over about 7 days 
and is dependent on the ability of birds to hear as part of sensorimotor learning.  
Cannabidiol 10 and 100 mg/kg (intramuscular) improved the phonology and syntax of the 
zebra finch song over the first 6 to 9 days post lesion.50 
Finally, there is evidence that cannabidivarin, a cannabinoid structurally similar to CBD 
that shares molecular and behavioral pharmacology, rescued behavioral and brain 
alterations in MeCP2-308 male mice51 a validated RTT model, including improvement of 
general health status, sociability, and brain weight, with partial restoration of motor 
coordination.

3.2.1.2 
Safety Pharmacology 
In a rat primary observation Irwin test of central nervous system function, no behavioral, 
physiological, or body temperature changes were observed following administration of 
CBD botanical drug substance (BDS) at 10 to 100 mg/kg.52 
In the cardiovascular system, CBD as CBD BDS inhibited human ether-à-go-go-related 
gene tail current in a concentration-dependent manner52 (no-observed-effect level 
[NOEL], 43 ng/mL) and had no effect on Purkinje fiber action potentials or QT interval 
changes52 (NOEL, 22 ng/ml).  Changes in cardiovascular parameters (heart rate, blood 
pressure, and electrocardiogram [ECG]) in the conscious dog were not considered to be 
adverse.52 
In the respiratory system, CBD as CBD BDS had no biologically significant effect on 
respiratory parameters in conscious rats.52 
3.2.1.3 
Mechanism of Action 
Cannabidiol has micromolar affinity/potency at several molecular targets, whose 
relevance to RTT is unclear.  How CBD interacts with signaling pathways and cellular 
processes modulated by MeCP2 that are important in RTT is a matter of active 
investigation and is yet to be fully elucidated.   
3.2.2 
Clinical Studies 
Human efficacy data from 3 positive Phase 3 trials in patients (predominantly pediatric 
patients) with treatment-resistant epilepsies support a role for GWP42003-P as a 
treatment for central nervous system disorders.  Overall, GWP42003-P was generally 
well tolerated at doses up to 20 mg/kg/day; adverse events (AEs) were usually mild to 
moderate in severity and transient.  Elevated liver enzymes (particularly transaminases 
alanine aminotransferase [ALT] and aspartate aminotransferase [AST], and less 
commonly reported terms of abnormal liver function tests and hepatotoxicity) have been 
reported in some patients receiving GWP42003-P for severe, refractory epilepsies, 
notably in patients taking concomitant valproic acid.  None of the cases fulfilled the Hy’s 
Law criteria for potential severe liver injury.  There were no cases with a concomitant 
increase in bilirubin > 2 × upper limit of normal (ULN).  Monitoring of the blood levels 
of enzymes that are markers of liver function is advised, particularly at the start of 
treatment and with dose increases of GWP42003-P, as well as at the time of initiation or 
dose increase of concomitant medication.

3.3 
Rationale 
A number of studies across a range of nonclinical behavioral paradigms, as discussed 
above, suggest that CBD has the potential to treat some of the core symptoms of RTT, 
such as cognition, language, social behavior, and motor function (see Section 3.2.1.1).  
Indeed, there are suggestions from clinical studies that, in addition to treating seizures, 
CBD may have beneficial effects on cognition and behavior as well as on patient 
QOL.53,54   
This open-label extension (OLE) trial will evaluate the long-term safety of GWP42003-P 
in patients with RTT who carry a MECP2 gene mutation. 
3.3.1 
Choice of Endpoints 
Overall, the range of assessments cover the key symptom domains: behavior and 
emotion, motor function, breathing abnormalities, and sleep.   
3.3.1.1 
Choice of Primary Endpoints 
Safety, selected as the primary endpoint, will be assessed by evaluating changes in AEs, 
clinical laboratory parameters, vital signs, physical examination procedures, 12-lead 
ECGs, effects on menstruation cycles, and suicidality.  Change in growth and 
development will also be measured by height, weight, serum IGF-1 levels, and Tanner 
Staging (for patients aged ≥ 7 years or earlier, if clinically indicated by the onset of 
menarche or other signs of precocious puberty).   
3.3.1.2 
Choice of Secondary Endpoints 
Secondary endpoints, scales, and assessments were selected to evaluate a wide range of 
symptoms observed in patients with RTT: 
• RSBQ.  This caregiver-completed assessment has been specifically developed for 
use in patients with RTT.55  The RSBQ total score is used as a global measure to 
assess the patient’s overall condition, whereas subscales of the RSBQ allow 
evaluation of more-specific domains (behavior and emotion, motor function, and 
breathing abnormalities).   
• CGI-I and CGI-S.  CGI-I was selected as a clinician-rated assessment that has 
been used extensively in neuropsychiatric disorders in both clinical practice and 
clinical trial settings56,57,58 and reported to have successfully been implemented in 
the RTT patient population.59  CGI-I is a global measure used to assess the

patient’s overall condition.  CGI-I assesses change in symptoms relative to the 
baseline CGI-S. 
• MBA-9.  This scale was selected as it provides a clinician assessment of a set of 
motor and behavior items of the original MBA60,61 that are deemed amenable to 
change. 
• CSHQ.  This questionnaire was selected as sleep problems are reported for the 
majority of patients with RTT.  CSHQ has been used to characterize sleep in other 
developmental disability populations (e.g., autism spectrum disorder62) and in a 
sample of patients with RTT.63  
3.3.1.3 
Choice of Exploratory Endpoints 
The required constant care and supervision of patients with RTT places a significant 
burden on the parent(s)/caregiver; as such, effects on caregiver QoL will be assessed as 
an exploratory endpoint using the SF-36 questionnaire.  In addition, caregiver-reported 
patient QoL will be assessed using CHQ-PF50.  Information on health utilization will be 
assessed using the Hospital Services Use Questionnaire, which aims to analyze the 
frequency of patient hospitalizations and hospital visits.   
The Caregiver Assessment of Rett Symptoms has been specifically developed for the 
proposed clinical trial with the intent of obtaining data on the patient’s condition and 
aims to provide additional information on selected key areas of interest: breathing, hand 
stereotypies, interactions, problem behaviors, sleep, constipation, seizures, and global 
function.   
3.3.2 
Choice of Dosing Regimen 
Given that the objective of the trial is to monitor long-term safety, a flexible dose 
escalation based on efficacy and tolerability, as judged by the investigator, will be used.  
The maximum dose of 20 mg/kg/day (10 mg/kg b.i.d.) is set in accordance with the 
maximum dose per the United States (US) prescribing information for CBD.64  
The GWP42003-P solution contains 7.9% w/v anhydrous ethanol, which is required as 
sucralose is not soluble in sesame oil.  A dose of 15 mg/kg/day (administered as 
7.5 mg/kg twice daily [b.i.d.]) in a 10 kg child will result in a blood alcohol content 
(BAC) of 0.0098 g/L, which equates to an ethanol ingestion of 5.93 mg/kg.  Both these 
amounts are well under the threshold for a BAC of 0.125 g/L and an ethanol ingestion of 
75 mg/kg for patients 6 years and older and also under the maximum BAC level of

0.01 g/L and ethanol ingestion of 6 mg/kg for children less than <6 years old.65  At the 
highest recommended therapeutic dose of 20 mg/kg/day (administered as 10 mg/kg 
b.i.d.), a single dose of 10 mg/kg cannabidiol oral solution (CBD-OS) in a 10 kg child 
theoretically results in a BAC of 0.013 g/L and an ethanol ingestion of 7.9 mg/kg, slightly 
above the recommended threshold for BAC of 0.01 g/L for children less than 6 years old.  
In light of the wide safety margins observed in toxicology studies and taking the severity 
of the condition into account, this theoretical risk is judged to be acceptable.  
Please refer to the investigator’s brochure (IB) and Development Core Safety Information 
for the most current safety data. 
3.3.3 
Benefit-risk Analysis  
There are no approved medications for RTT, neither disease modifying nor for 
symptomatic therapy.  Nonclinical and clinical data indicate that CBD-OS may benefit 
patients with RTT (see Section 3.2.1.1, Section 3.2.2, and Section 3.3). 
The key risks identified from the CBD-OS clinical development program for 
Lennox-Gestaut Syndrome (LGS) and Dravet Syndrome (DS) (described in 
Section 3.2.2) are broadly expected to be the same for the RTT population - as the patient 
demographics and comorbidities have a significant amount of overlap.  Importantly, the 
risk of raised transaminases is reduced in the context of this RTT trial where lower doses 
of CBD-OS are planned and valproic acid use is expected to be lower in this population.   
In the context of the anticipated benefit of CBD-OS in RTT patients, the key risks 
identified from the CBD-OS clinical development program in LGS and DS are acceptable 
given the proposed dose level (maximum dose of 20 mg/kg/day)  and the age range of 2–
18 years.  Thus, the overall benefit-risk for the development of CBD-OS in the RTT 
population is favorable. 
3.4 
Clinical Hypothesis 
There will be no formal hypothesis testing in this trial.

EXPERIMENTAL PLAN 
4.1 
Trial Design 
This is a multicenter, OLE trial for patients with RTT who have completed the 
randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial (GWND18064). 
Entry to this OLE trial is recommended to be on the same day as Visit 9 of the 
randomized controlled trial (RCT), GWND18064; however, patients may enter the OLE 
up to the RCT follow-up visit (Visit 11). 
All patients entering this OLE trial will begin dosing with 5 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P 
(2.5 mg/kg b.i.d.) on Day 1.  Patients will be observed, and after 1 week, the dose may 
further be escalated, at the investigator’s discretion, up to 15 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P 
(7.5 mg/kg b.i.d.) in weekly increments of 5 mg/kg/day (2.5 mg/kg b.i.d.).   
Patients should then remain on a stable dose of GWP42003-P for the duration of the 
maintenance period of the trial (up to 104 weeks), with the option for doses to be 
decreased or increased to a maximum dose of 20 mg/kg/day (10 mg/kg b.i.d.) based on 
clinical response and tolerability, as deemed necessary by the investigator, until the 
optimal dose is found.  Patients whose dose has been decreased can have their dose 
increased again if tolerability improves.   
At the end of treatment (Visit 14 [Day 729]), the dose of GWP42003-P will be reduced 
over a 10-day taper period, and patients will enter the 4-week follow-up period.   
If a patient permanently discontinues treatment at any point during the trial, 
GWP42003-P should be gradually reduced over 10 days (unless inadvisable due to an 
AE).  The patient should attend a withdrawal visit (Visit 14) as soon as possible after the 
decision is made to permanently discontinue GWP42003-P.  If applicable, the patient will 
taper GWP42003-P, attend the End of Taper visit (Visit 15), and then complete the 
4-week follow-up period.   
A schematic (Figure 1-1), presented at the end of Section 1, depicts the overall trial 
design.  More detailed information on treatment and trial procedures is provided in 
Section 8 and Section 9, respectively.

• Instruction: “Keep out of the sight and reach of children.” 
• Any other information required by local regulatory authorities 
In addition, any local country requirements in accordance with local drug law or 
regulatory requirement will be included in the final label text. 
Directions for use and the name, address, and telephone number of the investigator (or 
the main contact for information about the product or the clinical trial) will be provided 
separately to the caregiver.  Caregivers will be instructed to retain and carry this 
information with the patient at all times. 
5.2.2 
Storage 
GWP42003-P must be stored upright at room temperature (< 30°C) and must not be 
refrigerated or frozen.  It must also be kept away from heat and direct sunlight. 
GWP42003-P must be stored in compliance with the local regulations for a controlled 
drug (if applicable to country).  The sponsor must approve the storage location and 
facilities.  Temperature records of the clinical center storage location must be maintained 
(recording a minimum of Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays) from the date of 
receipt of the first shipment until the end-of-trial dispensing period at each center.  These 
records must contain at least the minimum and maximum daily temperatures and must be 
made available to the appropriate GW personnel for review throughout the trial.  
Temperature during the transit of GWP42003-P to the center must be checked on receipt 
and compliance/noncompliance to the minimum and maximum recorded. 
Should storage conditions deviate from these specified requirements, the GW trial 
monitor must be contacted immediately to confirm if GWP42003-P remains suitable for 
use.  GWP42003-P must be placed under quarantine until written confirmation is 
received that GWP42003-P is suitable for use.

the amount received against the shipment request and the condition of the drug 
(i.e., integrity, physical appearance, and temperature during transit).  Details of 
GWP42003-P received will be recorded in the GWP42003-P accountability record (see 
Section 5.2.4).  The center will acknowledge the GWP42003-P receipt and will complete 
any receipt forms required.  GWP42003-P will be dispensed and returned as detailed in 
Section 8.4.  As directed, all supplies, including unused, partially used, or empty 
containers, will be returned to the GW/depot or destroyed at a GW-approved center if 
agreed in writing by the trial monitor. 
5.2.4 
Investigational Medicinal Product Accountability 
The investigator has overall responsibility for the accountability of all used and unused 
GWP42003-P.  A drug accountability record for GWP42003-P must be kept current and 
should contain the following: 
• Trial code 
• PRN, treatment number, date of receipt, and quantity of GWP42003-P received 
• Patient’s trial identification and/or treatment number 
• Date and quantity of GWP42003-P dispensed 
• The initials of the dispensing/dosing party 
• Date and quantity of GWP42003-P returned to the investigator 
• GWP42003-P expiry dates 
GWP42003-P will be dispensed at visits as per the Schedule of Assessments in 
Appendix 1.  Caregivers will be asked to return all GWP42003-P (used and unused) at 
each relevant visit.  The center will check the returned GWP42003-P against the expected 
usage.  Any discrepancies will be discussed with the caregiver at the time of the visit and 
documented accordingly within the patient’s source documents.   
The investigator must inform GW promptly of all missing or unaccountable 
GWP42003-P. 
A record of returned GWP42003-P must be completed and included in the shipment of 
used and unused GWP42003-P to the relevant drug distribution depot.  At the end of the 
trial, a record/statement of reconciliation must be completed and provided to GW. 
These inventories must be made available for inspection by an authorized GW 
representative and local officials or regulatory agency inspectors.

PATIENT ELIGIBILITY 
Investigators are responsible for confirming patient eligibility and will be required to 
maintain a log that includes limited information about all screened patients (initials, age, 
and sex, as allowed per local regulations) and outcome of screening. 
6.1 
Inclusion Criteria 
For inclusion in the trial patients must fulfil all of the following criteria: 
6.1.1 Patient has completed all scheduled visits of the treatment phase of the RCT, 
GWND18064, and has transitioned to OLE by the point of RCT follow-up 
(Visit 11). 
6.1.2 Patient (if possessing adequate understanding, in the investigator’s opinion) 
and/or the patient’s parent(s)/legal representative is willing and able to give 
informed consent/assent for participation in the trial. 
6.1.3 Patient and/or the patient’s caregiver are willing and able (in the investigator’s 
opinion) to comply with all trial requirements (including the completion of all 
caregiver assessments by the same caregiver throughout the trial). 
6.1.4 Patient must have the ability to swallow the IMP provided as a liquid solution 
or the ability for the IMP to be delivered via gastrostomy (G) or nasogastric 
(NG) feeding tube (only G- or NG-tubes made from polyurethane or silicon

6.1.5 Patient and/or parent(s)/legal representative is willing to allow the responsible 
authorities to be notified of participation in the trial, if mandated by local law. 
6.1.6 Patient and/or parent(s)/legal representative is willing to allow the patient’s 
primary care practitioner (if the patient has one) and consultant (if the patient 
has one) to be notified of participation in the trial if the primary care 
practitioner/consultant is different from the investigator. 
6.2 
Exclusion Criteria  
If the RCT ‘End of Treatment’/‘End of Taper Period’ visit assessments or Visit 1 
reassessments (as applicable) raise any safety concerns, the investigator should consider 
whether it will be appropriate for the patient to continue to participate in the OLE trial or 
if the patient should be withdrawn.  The patient may not enter the trial if ANY of the 
following apply: 
6.2.1 Patient meets the withdrawal criteria (including clinically significant abnormal 
laboratory values) in the investigator’s opinion (refer to Section 10).

6.2.2 Patient met during the RCT the criteria for permanent IMP discontinuation 
(unless in case of an AE, if AE was not considered related with the IMP; 
patients that met ALT/AST elevations discontinuation criteria must be 
excluded). 
6.2.3 Female patient is of childbearing potential, unless willing to ensure that they 
or their partner use a highly effective method of birth control (e.g., combined

6.2.6 Male participants who are fertile (i.e., after puberty unless permanently sterile 
by bilateral orchidectomy) and with a partner of childbearing potential unless 
agree to ensure that they use male contraception (e.g., condom) or remain 
sexually abstinentd during the trial and for 3 months after the last dose.  
 
 
 
a The effect of GWP42003-P on oral contraceptives has not been investigated.  GWP42003-P is 
not an inducer of CYP3A4 and therefore is not expected to alter the PK of hormonal 
contraceptives. 
b Contraception methods that are considered to have low user dependency 
c Provided that partner is the sole sexual partner of the trial patient of childbearing potential and 
that the vasectomized partner has received medical assessment of the surgical success. 
d Only if defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk 
associated with the trial treatments.  The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in 
relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient.

PATIENT ENROLLMENT 
Before patients may be entered into the trial, GW requires a copy of the relevant center’s 
institutional review board (IRB) or independent ethics committee (IEC) written approval 
of the protocol, informed consent/assent forms, and other patient information material.  
Patients will be considered enrolled in the trial from the time of providing written 
informed consent/assent.  All parent(s)/legal representatives must personally sign and 
date the consent forms prior to any procedures being performed (refer to Section 9.2.1 
and Section 15.2).  The nominated caregiver will be asked to consent to complete the 
QoL questionnaires.  If the patient possesses adequate understanding, assent will also be 
taken along with parent(s)/legal representative consent (refer to Section 9.2.1 and 
Section 15.2).  Due to the degree of cognitive impairment in patients with RTT, patients 
18 years of age or older will not be required to provide consent and will only be required 
to provide assent in cases where the patient possesses adequate understanding, along with 
parent(s)/legal representative consent. 
7.1 
Treatment Assignment 
As this is a single-group OLE trial, all patients will receive GWP42003-P.  Patients will 
not be informed of their allocated treatment group in the RCT.  Patients will retain the 
patient number allocated to them during the RCT. 
7.2 
Randomization 
This is an OLE of the GWND18064 trial.  Randomization will not occur.  At the start of 
the GWND18064 trial, enrolled patients were allocated a unique patient number.  Patients 
will retain this number during the OLE trial.

TREATMENT PROCEDURES 
8.1 
Investigational Medicinal Product Dosage, Administration, and 
Schedule 
GWP42003-P will be presented as an oral solution containing 100 mg/mL CBD.  For 
details regarding IMP formulations, see Section 5.  
Before the patient undergoes any assessments or observations, the patient’s 
parent(s)/legal representative is required to give written informed consent or assent (see 
Section 9.2.1 and Section 15.2).  The nominated caregiver will be asked to consent to 
complete the QoL questionnaires.   
8.1.1 
Dose Administration 
GWP42003-P will be administered orally (swallowed) b.i.d. (morning and evening) using 
the syringe(s) provided.  GWP42003-P may be taken with other concomitant 
medications, as directed by the investigator.  In patients with G- or NG-tubes but where 
oral dosing of GWP42003-P is possible, oral dosing is preferable.  Only in patients where 
oral dosing is not possible should GWP42003-P be administered via G- or NG-tubes 
made from polyurethane or silicon only.  GWP42003-P should be preferentially taken 
with food, i.e., within 30 minutes after the end of a meal and in line with the patients’ 
normal feeding schedule and dietary habits.  The time of GWP42003-P administration in 
relation to food should be kept consistent throughout the trial The investigator should 
contact the medical monitor to review IMP administration guidelines if administration via 
G-or NG-tubes is planned. 
8.1.2 
Dose Escalation and Dose Adjustments 
The daily volumes of the GWP42003-P solution to be taken will be calculated based on 
the patients’ weight, and the dosing schedule will be provided to the caregiver.  Further 
information on dispensing procedures will be provided in a separate Pharmacy Manual. 
Caregivers will be trained on dose administration during the GWND18064 trial.   
All patients entering this OLE trial will begin dosing with 5 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P 
(2.5 mg/kg b.i.d.) on Day 1.  Patients will be observed, and after 1 week the dose may 
escalate further, at the investigator’s discretion, up to 15 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P 
(7.5 mg/kg b.i.d.) in weekly increments of 5 mg/kg/day (2.5 mg/kg b.i.d.).   
Patients should then remain on a stable dose of GWP42003-P for the duration of the 
maintenance period of the trial (up to 104 weeks), with the option for doses to be

decreased or increased if deemed necessary by the investigator, to a maximum dose of 
20 mg/kg/day (10 mg/kg b.i.d.).   
If an unacceptable AE develops at any time during the dose escalation period(s), dosing 
should initially be suspended or amended, at the investigator’s discretion, until the event 
has resolved.  Patients who have escalated above 5 mg/kg/day should return to the 
previous dose level tolerated in steps of 5 mg/kg/day each week, unless a quicker 
reduction is judged to be required for safety reasons.  If a patient cannot tolerate 
5 mg/kg/day, doses should be reduced to 2.5 mg/kg/day.  If necessary, dosing may be 
temporarily suspended. 
Patients whose dose has been decreased can have their dose increased again if tolerability 
improves.  Patients unable to tolerate the target dose may stay at a lower dose.  However, 
if a patient cannot tolerate a dose of 2.5 mg/kg/day, the patient should be withdrawn from 
treatment, unless a lower dose level is agreed in discussion with the medical monitor and 
can be accurately measured (minimum single-dose volume of 0.1 mL).  Dose adjustments 
should be discussed with the GW medical monitor.  The final decision regarding dose 
adjustments should be taken by the investigator. 
Hepatic function monitoring should be carried out within 1 month following increases in 
GWP42003-P dose or introduction or dose increases of medications that are known to 
impact liver function.  If the concerned change does not occur within 1 month of a 
scheduled biochemistry assessment, the investigator should perform an additional hepatic 
monitoring within 1 month of the change.  
Transaminase elevations should be medically managed by the investigator either by 
reducing the GWP42003-P dose as described above or by reducing concomitant 
medications judged to be causing the elevation (per Section 8.2).  Dose adjustments 
should be discussed with the GW medical monitor.  For potential cases of drug-induced 
liver injury, see Section 12.8. 
At the end of treatment (Visit 14 [Day 729]), the dose of GWP42003-P will be reduced 
over a 10-day taper period, and patients will enter the 4-week follow-up period.  
Patients discontinuing GWP42003-P treatment at any other time should undergo a 10-day 
taper period (unless continued dosing is inadvisable, e.g., due to an AE).  The decision on 
whether to taper GWP42003-P or not will be left to the investigator’s clinical judgment.

8.2 
Concomitant Therapy 
It is theoretically possible that GWP42003-P may modify the metabolism of other drugs 
(including antiepileptic drugs [AEDs]) administered concurrently, and there remains the 
possibility of pharmacological interactions between GWP42003-P and other concurrently 
administered drugs.  If there are side-effects suspected of being related to an elevation in 
the concomitant concentration, the investigator should contact the GW medical monitor 
to discuss best management.  Decisions should be based on clinical symptoms and not 
plasma levels of concomitant medications.  The final decision regarding dose adjustments 
should be taken by the investigator.  Cannabidiol has the potential to induce the 
expression of hepatic CYP enzymes (CYP1A2, 2B6 and 3A4) at clinically relevant 
concentrations.  Careful titration of CBD in patients taking concomitant medications 
metabolized by CYP3A4, CYP2C19, or CYP2B6 is advised, with plasma monitoring of 
such medications or their metabolites to be undertaken at the investigator’s discretion.  
Further information on drug interactions can be found in the IB 52.  Any concerns 
regarding potential interactions with concomitant medications can be discussed with the 
trial medical monitor(s). 
Changes in concomitant medications are allowed, but increases in dose of medications 
that affect liver function should be discussed with the medical monitor.  Introduction of 
new medications is allowed, but introduction of new psychotropic and/or central acting 
agents intended as long-term treatment requires prior discussion with the medical 
monitor.  
The use of rescue medication is allowed, when necessary (i.e., AED for transient 
exacerbation of seizures).  Any medication, other than GWP42003-P, taken during the 
trial must be recorded on the electronic case report form (eCRF). 
8.3 
Prohibited Therapy During the Trial Period 
The following medications are prohibited for the duration of the trial.  However, any 
patients taking these medications after screening should not be discontinued from 
treatment, unless there are safety concerns.  
• St John’s wort 
• Recreational or medicinal cannabis or cannabinoid-based medications (including 
Sativex or CBD oral solutions) 
• Any other IMP

• Felbamate that has been taken for less than 1 year 
Care should be taken with drugs, or their metabolites, that are CYP2C19 substrates, such 
as N-desmethylclobazam.  Care should also be taken with drugs, or their metabolites, that 
are solely or primarily metabolized by uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase 
(UGT)1A9 and UGT2B7. 
8.4 
Compliance in Investigational Medicinal Product Administration 
GWP42003-P is dispensed to the patient at visits as per the Schedule of Assessments in 
Appendix 1.  Further guidance on GWP42003-P dispensing will be provided in a separate 
pharmacy manual.   
Caregivers will be asked to confirm dosing in the dosing schedule daily.  Caregivers 
should return all GWP42003-P (used and unused) at each of the visits as per the Schedule 
of Assessments in Appendix 1.  The returned medication will be checked against the 
expected usage, and any discrepancies will be discussed with the caregiver at the time of 
the visit and documented accordingly within the patient’s source documents.  Caregivers 
will also be asked about the time of GWP42003-P administration in relation to meals. 
The investigator must inform GW promptly of all missing or unaccountable 
GWP42003-P.   
Records of GWP42003-P accountability will be maintained according to Section 5.2.4.

TRIAL PROCEDURES 
A list of the required trial procedures is provided in the subsections that follow; refer also 
to the schedule of assessments (Appendix 1).  Assessments or tests that are not done and 
examinations that are not conducted must be reported as such on the eCRF. 
The location of the source data for the following procedures will be documented, per 
center, in a signed source data verification plan; for further details, see Section 16.2. 
9.1 
Trial Procedures by Visit 
Patients and their parent(s)/legal representative will be invited to take part in the trial and 
will be issued with the patient information and informed assent (if applicable) and the 
parent(s)/legal representative information and informed consent.  Due to the degree of 
cognitive impairment in patients with RTT, patients 18 years of age or older will not be 
required to provide consent and will only be required to provide assent in cases where the 
patient possesses adequate understanding, along with parent(s)/legal representative 
consent.  Following ample time to discuss the trial with the investigator, nurse, relatives, 
or caregiver, as wished, patients for whom the parent(s)/legal representatives provide 
written informed consent, and in cases where the patient possesses adequate 
understanding, patients who give their assent will be screened for entry into the trial.  The 
nominated caregiver will be asked to consent to complete the QoL questionnaires. 
Each visit should be scheduled to take place at approximately the same time of day 
(i.e., morning or afternoon), whenever possible.  Visits 2, 3, and 16 (safety follow-up) are 
to be conducted by telephone.   
The investigator should use his/her judgment and knowledge of the patient to determine 
when to best collect the blood and urine samples in order to mitigate the risk that invasive 
procedures may cause the patient to become stressed, thereby affecting the results of 
other patient assessments. 
All assessments should reflect the patient’s regular state, therefore it should be ensured 
the patient had adequate time to settle prior to each assessment.  The CGI-S and CGI-I 
assessments should be based on the entirety of the visit.

AEs commencing after discontinuation.  All causally related AEs that result in a patient’s 
early termination from the trial or are present at the end of the trial should be followed up 
until a satisfactory resolution occurs, i.e., until the AE resolves or is considered clinically 
insignificant, or until the investigator is satisfied that the AE is not related to 
GWP42003-P and needs no further investigation.  Information regarding changes to 
concomitant medications will be reviewed.

Trial Procedure Listing 
9.2.1 
Informed Consent/Assent 
The parent(s)/legal representative of all patients in the trial must personally sign and date 
the IRB/IEC-approved informed consent form (ICF) before any trial-specific procedures 
are performed or any patient-related data are recorded for the trial.  The nominated 
caregiver will be asked to consent to complete the QoL questionnaires. 
In cases where the patient possesses adequate understanding in the opinion of the 
investigator, assent will be taken along with parent(s)/legal representative consent, using 
IRB/IEC-approved assent forms.  If appropriate, prior to signing, the assent form will be 
read to the patient, and the patient will be given the opportunity to ask questions and 
discuss with their parent(s)/legal representative.  If appropriate, the patient must 
personally sign and date the assent form.  Patients who cannot write can give 
consent/assent by “making their mark” on the assent form (e.g., writing an “X”).  If the

patient possesses adequate understanding but is not physically able to sign, an impartial 
witness should be present during the entire assent discussion and should sign and 
personally date the assent form.  By signing, the witness attests that the information in the 
assent form and any other written information were accurately explained to and 
apparently understood by the patient and that assent was freely given by the patient.  
Assent is defined as the minor’s permission or affirmative agreement to participate in the 
trial.  If a minor who is capable of forming an opinion and assessing the information 
provided makes an explicit wish to refuse participation in or to be withdrawn from the 
clinical trial at any time, this wish must be considered by the investigator.  Given the 
severity of the condition, it is expected that the majority of patients will have an 
insufficient level of understanding of what is proposed, in which case solely 
parent(s)/legal representative consent will be sought.  All decisions made by the 
investigator relating to a patient’s level of understanding and ability to provide assent 
must be documented in the patient’s medical records. 
GW Research Ltd requires a physician to be present for consent and assent and to also 
sign the consent and assent forms.  The original signed informed consent/assent forms 
should be retained, and a copy should be provided to the patient and/or parent(s)/legal 
representative.  Patients’ parent(s)/legal representatives will be given the option of being 
informed about the summary outcome and results of the trial as part of the ICF.  For 
further details, see Section 15.2. 
9.2.2 
Contraception Requirements 
Contraception requirements must be assessed by the investigator on a case by case basis.  
Where applicable, the patient or their partner must use highly effective contraception for 
the duration of the study and for three months thereafter.   
To be eligible for the trial, male participants who are fertile (i.e., after puberty unless 
permanently sterile by bilateral orchidectomy) must agree that they are willing to use 
male contraception (e.g.,condom) or remain sexually abstinent during the trial and for 
3 months after the last dose. 
Where applicable, females of childbearing potential (i.e., fertile, following menarche and 
until becoming postmenopausal for ≥ 12 consecutive months, unless permanently sterile 
by hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy per the definition of 
woman of childbearing potential) must use highly effective birth control method for the 
duration of the trial and for 3 months thereafter.  Highly effective methods of birth 
control are defined as those, alone or in combination, that result in a low failure rate

(i.e., less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly.66  Such methods 
include:  
• Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception 
associated with the inhibition of ovulationa: 
• Oral. 
• Intravaginal. 
• Transdermal. 
• Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of 
ovulationa:

• Intrauterine hormone-releasing systemsb. 
• Bilateral tubal occlusionb. 
• Vasectomized partnerbb, provided that partner is the sole sexual partner of the 
patient of childbearing potential and that the vasectomized partner has received 
medical assessment of the surgical success. 
• Abstinence, as referenced above, is only acceptable as true abstinence, i.e., when 
this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient; periodic 
abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, and postovulation methods) 
and withdrawal (coitus interruptus), spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhea 
method are not acceptable methods of contraception.67  
Serum pregnancy tests will be performed for any patients of childbearing potential at 
RCT Visit 9 and OLE Visit 8; patients must test negative for pregnancy to be eligible for 
the trial.  Additional pregnancy tests must be performed during the treatment period if 
considered clinically indicated by the investigator. 
 
a The effect of GWP42003-P on oral contraceptives has not been investigated.  GWP42003-P is not an 
inducer of CYP3A4 and therefore is not expected to alter the PK of hormonal contraceptives.

Concomitant Medication 
Details of all current medications will be recorded during the RCT.  Any changes in 
concomitant medication during the trial must be recorded on the eCRF at trial visits.  
Changes in concomitant medications are allowed, but increases in the dose of 
medications that affect liver function should be discussed with the medical monitor.  
Introduction of new medications is allowed, but introduction of new psychotropic and/or 
central acting agents intended as long-term treatment requires prior discussion with the 
medical monitor.

9.2.6 
Physical Examination 
Physical examinations will include body weight measurements.  At Visits 8, 10, 12 and 
14 height will be collected.  If an accurate measurement of height is not possible, an 
estimate should be provided. 
9.2.7 
12-Lead Electrocardiogram  
Triplicate ECGs will be performed after 5 minutes of rest.  Triplicate ECGs should be 
taken as close together as possible.  An ECG machine will be provided to all centers, and 
all ECGs will be reviewed by a central reader.  The central reader will provide a report 
within 24 hours of collection of the ECG.  Additional alerts will be sent to the center in 
the case of clinically relevant abnormalities.  The central reader will provide 
measurements and an overall assessment to support the investigator in his/her final 
assessment.  If needed, the investigator may update clinical relevance based on patient 
files, medical history, and any clinical symptoms.  The central reader can be supportive 
for any discussions on patient outcomes.  Any abnormal findings considered to indicate 
significant medical history or AEs must be recorded appropriately on the eCRF.  In 
addition to the scheduled assessments, additional ECG measurements can be taken at any 
time during the trial, if clinically indicated.

Vital Signs 
Vital sign measurements (blood pressure and pulse rate) will be taken in a sitting position 
at rest for 5 minutes.  Blood pressure should be recorded using the same arm throughout 
the trial, where possible. 
9.2.9 
Clinical Laboratory Sampling 
The investigator should use his/her judgment and knowledge of the patient to determine 
when to best collect the blood and urine samples in order to mitigate the risk that invasive 
procedures may cause the patient to become stressed, thereby affecting the results of 
other patient assessments.   
Routine laboratory tests will include hematology, biochemistry, and urinalysis (provided 
urine can be obtained), IGF-1 levels, and a serum pregnancy test (if appropriate).  
Analysis of all clinical blood samples and pregnancy tests will be conducted at a central 
clinical laboratory. 
Urine samples for biochemistry will be analyzed at the trial center by use of a dipstick, 
with any relevant findings being sent for further urinalysis at the central laboratory 
(urinalysis, microscopy, culture, and sensitivity, as applicable).  In cases where urine 
samples cannot be analyzed at the center due to local regulations, a full set of urine 
samples should be sent to the central laboratory for analysis.  Urine sample volume 
requirements and processing procedures will be detailed in a separate laboratory manual.   
The investigator and trial monitor will be provided with a list of the normal ranges used 
by the testing laboratory for all variables assayed during the trial and a statement of 
accreditation (or similar) for the laboratory.   
The investigator should be aware of blood sampling volume restrictions, particularly for 
patients with low weight, and if additional monitoring is required (maximum total daily 
volume of 0.85mL/kg of body weight68,69 maximum 4-week period volume of 
2.55 mL/kg of body weight, and maximum 8-week period volume of 50 mL).  
Clinical laboratory sample parameters are detailed in Table 9.2.9-1.

laboratory results considered to represent an AE must be documented on the eCRF.  For 
reporting and follow-up of potential cases of drug-induced liver injury, see Section 12.8. 
Repeat samples will be taken, if required, for clinical follow-up or if the sample is lost or 
damaged.  Any abnormal end-of-treatment clinical laboratory result of clinical 
significance must be repeated at regular intervals until it returns to normal or until the 
investigator is satisfied that the abnormality is not related to GWP42003-P and needs no 
further investigation.   
Additional samples may be collected, as needed, e.g., for monitoring of hepatic function 
(hepatic function monitoring panel) (see Section 8.1.2 and Table 9.2.9-1).  
Blood sample volume requirements and processing procedures will be detailed in a 
separate laboratory manual; the maximum cumulative amount of blood taken in any 
4-week period will be 2.55 mL/kg of body weight and will not exceed a total of 50 mL 
within any 8 week period68,69 taking into account possible repeat tests.  The 
patient/caregiver must be advised that it may not be safe for the patient to undertake 
further blood tests within 1 month of any trial-related blood draws and to inform the 
investigator if the patient suffered any blood loss during the 1-month period leading up to 
a planned blood draw. 
9.2.10 
Randomization and Trial Supply Management System 
The RTSM system will be used to manage the IMP supply.  The RTSM system 
information can be accessed via the eCRF.  
A member of the trial team must register in the eCRF each clinic visit in order to: 
• Obtain dispensing information (Visits 1, and 4 through 14 [end of 
treatment/withdrawal visit]). 
• Provide completion/taper/early termination information (Visit 14/the end of 
treatment/withdrawal visit, or Visit 15 [end of taper], as applicable). 
Training will be given to all centers prior to the start of the trial. 
9.2.11 
Dosing Schedule/Compliance Review 
Caregivers will be provided with a dosing schedule.  Caregivers will be asked to confirm 
dosing in the dosing schedule daily from Visit 1 through Visit 15 (end of taper).  Dosing 
compliance will be reviewed at each clinic visit.  Any discrepancies will be discussed 
with the caregiver and documented accordingly within the patient’s source documents.

As part of the compliance review, caregivers will be asked at the visits about the time of 
GWP42003-P administration in relation to meals. 
9.2.12 
Questionnaires and Assessments Completed at Scheduled Visits  
Caregiver questionnaires should be completed by the identified caregiver, nominated at 
Visit 1 of the RCT.  The same person should answer/complete the 
questionnaires/assessments in order to maintain consistency.  Questionnaires should be 
completed during the scheduled visits.  The nominated caregiver must have given consent 
to complete the QoL questionnaires prior to the completion of the questionnaires.  
To ensure consistency, investigator-completed questionnaires should be completed for 
each patient by the same investigator throughout the trial.  Investigators must have 
completed the sponsor-specified training for each questionnaire before any questionnaires 
are completed. 
9.2.12.1 
Rett Syndrome Behaviour Questionnaire 
The RSBQ is a caregiver-completed questionnaire that measures the frequency of current 
disease characteristics (45 items) that may or may not apply to the patient.  Each item is 
rated on a 3-point numerical scale; 0 indicates an item that is ‘not true as far as you 
know,’ 1 indicates an item is ‘somewhat or sometimes true,’ and 2 indicates an item that 
is ‘very true or often true.’  The total maximum score is 90, and higher total scores 
represent greater severity.  It encompasses 8 subscales: general mood, breathing 
problems, hand behaviors, face movements, body rocking/expressionless face, night-time 
behaviors, anxiety/fear, and walking/standing.55 
9.2.12.2 
Children’s Sleep Habit Questionnaire 
This is a caregiver-completed sleep screening instrument designed for school-aged 
children.70  CSHQ includes 33 items within 8 subscales reflecting the following sleep 
domains: 1) Bedtime Resistance; 2) Sleep Onset Delay; 3) Sleep Duration; 4) Sleep 
Anxiety; 5) Night Wakings; 6) Parasomnias; 7) Sleep-Disordered Breathing; and 
8) Daytime Sleepiness.  Caregivers are to answer based on the last week.  If the last week 
was unusual for a specific reason, the caregiver should choose the most recent typical 
week.  The answers to each question are provided by a choice of 3 markers: “Usually” if 
it occurs 5 or more times in a week; “Sometimes” if it occurs 2 to 4 times in a week; and 
“Rarely” if it occurs never or 1 time in a week.  Some items should be reversed in 
scoring, so a higher score reflects more-disturbed sleep behavior.  The caregiver is also 
asked to indicate for each item if the sleep item is a problem.

9.2.12.3 
36-Item Short Form 
Caregivers’ health-related QoL will be assessed using the SF-36 questionnaire.  SF-36 
measures 8 domains of health-related QoL within 8 scales: 1) limitations in physical 
activities because of health problems; 2) limitations in social activities because of 
physical or emotional problems; 3) limitations in usual role activities because of physical 
health problems; 4) bodily pain; 5) general mental health (psychological distress and 
well-being); 6) limitations in usual role activities because of emotional problems; 7) 
vitality (energy and fatigue); and 8) general health perceptions.  The domains are used to 
calculate composite scores – physical health composite score (PCS) and mental health 
composite score (MCS).  The scores for SF-36 are based on a 0-to-100 scale; 0 represents 
the lowest possible score, and 100 represents the highest possible score, with a higher 
score indicating a better health state.   
9.2.12.4 
Child Health Questionnaire Parent Form 50 
The CHQ-PF50 is a generic QoL instrument designed and normed for children from 5 to 
18 years of age.  This instrument is a well-validated general QoL measure in pediatric 
populations with chronic illness.  It measures the QoL of the child and the family by 
parent or child report.  The caregiver will be asked to complete the questionnaire on 
behalf of the patient.  The CHQ-PF50 covers mutlidimensional health concepts including 
Physical Functioning, Role/Social Limitations–Emotional/Behavioral, Role/Social 
Limitations–Physical, Behavior, Mental Health, Self-Esteem, General Health, Bodily 
Pain, Family Activities, Parent Impact–Time, Parent Impact–Emotional, and Family 
Cohesion.  The CHQ-PF50 provides subscale scores as well as a Standardized Physical 
Summary (PhS) score and Standardized Psychosocial Summary (PsS) score.  Scores are 
based on a 0-to-100 scale; a higher score indicates better QoL.   
9.2.12.5 
Hospital Services Use Questionnaire 
This is a health utilization questionnaire designed to analyze the frequency of patient 
hospitalizations and hospital visits.  Hospitalizations will also be recorded in the patient’s 
CRF and through the serious adverse event (SAE) reporting process.  The questionnaire 
will be completed via caregiver interview.   
9.2.12.6 
Caregiver Assessment of Rett Symptoms  
Caregivers will be asked to rate, on a 0-to-10 numerical rating scale, the patient’s 
condition and performance/severity of symptoms in terms of breathing, hand stereotypies, 
interactions, problem behaviors, constipation, seizures, and sleep.  This assessment

corresponds to the symptom diary completed weekly in the RCT but will be completed at 
trial visits only in the OLE. 
9.2.12.7 
Rett Syndrome Motor-Behavioral Assessment Scale 
The MBA-9 scale is completed by the investigator and evaluates 9 RTT symptoms.  
MBA-9 was derived from the full MBA scale (37 RTT symptoms) by selecting the items 
that are deemed to be amenable to change and that reflect areas of meaningful clinical 
change.  It includes 5 questions from the original Behavioral/Social Assessment, 
1 question from the Orofacial/Respiratory Assessment, and 3 questions from the Motor 
Assessment/Physical Signs.  The severity of the current symptoms are rated on a 5-point 
numerical scale: 0 = normal or never; 1 = mild or rare; 2 = moderate or occasional; 
3 = marked or frequent; or 4 = very severe or constant.  The total maximum score is 36, 
and higher total scores represent greater severity.61  The MBA-9 items address the core 
symptoms of RTT.   
9.2.12.8 
Clinical Global Impressions Questionnaire  
The clinical global impressions (CGI) questionnaire was developed as a clinical trial 
measure to provide a brief, stand-alone assessment of the clinician’s view of the patient’s 
global functioning prior to and after initiating a study medication.56   
The CGI questionnaire is split into 2 scales: the CGI-S scale and the CGI-I scale.  CGI-S 
is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the patient’s illness at 
the time of assessment relative to the clinician’s experience with patients who have the 
same diagnosis.  Considering the total clinical experience, a patient will be assessed on 
the severity of illness at the time of rating.  This is rated as follows: 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 second scale, CGI-I, is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician 
to assess how much the patient’s illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline 
state at the beginning of the intervention (RCT Visit 2).  This is rated as follows: 1 = very 
much improved; 2 = much improved; 3 = minimally improved; 4 = no change; 
5 = minimally worse; 6 = much worse; or 7 = very much worse.  
To ensure consistency, investigators will be instructed to complete the CGI referring to a 
predefined set of anchors developed specifically for the use of CGI in RTT.59 
The CGI-S and CGI-I assessments should be based on the entirety of the visit.

Suicidality Assessment 
The profound cognitive impairment of patients with RTT is such that the Children’s 
Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale is not considered appropriate in this trial.  
Instead, suicidality will be assessed by the investigator via a clinical interview with the 
caregiver.   
9.2.13 
Tanner Staging 
The pubic hair growth and breast development of all adolescent patients (i.e., ≥ 7 years of 
age71 at the time of signing the ICF or earlier, if clinically indicated by the onset of 
menarche or other signs of precocious puberty) will be assessed using Tanner Staging.72  
The assessment can either be performed by examination during the study visit or the 
appropriate Tanner Stage can be indicated by the caregiver, with reference to the chart 
provided.’ 
Once a patient reaches a score of V (i.e., 5) the assessment need not be performed again. 
9.2.14 
Investigational Medicinal Product Accountability 
Records of GWP42003-P accountability will be maintained according to Section 5.2.4. 
GWP42003-P will be dispensed at Visit 1 (Day 1) and every scheduled visit thereafter 
(Visit 4 through Visit 14 [end of treatment/withdrawal visit]). 
Caregivers will be asked to return all GWP42003-P (used and unused) at each relevant 
visit (Visits 4 through Visit 15 [end of taper]).  The center will check the returned 
GWP42003-P against the expected usage.  Any discrepancies will be discussed with the 
caregiver at the time of the visit and documented accordingly within the patient’s source 
documents. 
9.2.15 
Adverse Events 
All AEs (including SAEs) occurring during the trial will be reported on the running logs 
in the AE section of the eCRF.  This includes all events from the time following 
screening (Visit 1) up to and including the post-trial follow-up visit (Visit 16), whether or 
not attributed to GWP42003-P and observed by the investigator or patient. 
* For the patient’s expected seizure types, these do not routinely require documentation as 
AEs.  However, any worsening, including a change in the pattern or severity of seizures 
should be documented in the eCRF if deemed to meet the definition of an AE, in the 
investigator’s opinion.

IMP WITHDRAWAL 
In accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki73 the International Council for 
Harmonisation (ICH) Harmonised Guideline: Integrated Addendum to ICH E6(R1): 
Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) E6(R2)74 the FDA regulations relating to 
GCP and clinical trials75,76,77 the EU Clinical Trials Directive78 the EU GCP Directive79 
and/or other applicable regulations, a patient has the right to withdraw from the trial at 
any time and for any reason, with no obligation to provide a reason and without prejudice 
to his/her future medical care by the physician or at the institution. 
The patient must be withdrawn permanently discontinued from the trial if any of the 
following apply: 
• Administrative decision by the investigator, GW, or a regulatory authority 
• Pregnancy 
• Protocol deviation that is considered to potentially compromise the safety of the 
patient 
• Withdrawal of patient assent 
• Withdrawal of parent(s)/legal representative consent 
• ALT or AST > 3 × ULN with the appearance of fatigue, nausea, vomiting, right 
upper quadrant pain or tenderness, fever, rash, and/or eosinophilia (> 5%) 
• ALT or AST > 8 × ULN 
• ALT or AST > 5 × ULN for more than 2 weeks 
• ALT or AST > 3 × ULN and (total bilirubin [TBL] > 2 × ULN or international 
normalized ratio [INR] > 1.5) 
Note: Prior to withdrawal for the transaminase elevations noted above, the 
investigator may choose to confirm the transaminase elevations by repeating the 
following laboratory tests within 24 to 48 hours: ALT, AST, TBL, INR, % 
eosinophils, gamma-glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase, and 
eosinophils.  Should the above transaminase elevation criteria be confirmed, 
the patient must be withdrawn from the trial.  In cases where the 
transaminase elevation withdrawal criteria are not met or confirmed, the 
dose of IMP or a concomitant medication with known hepatotoxicity may be

reduced.  Dose adjustments should be discussed with the GW medical 
monitor.  The final decision regarding dose adjustments should be taken by 
the investigator. 
• Lost to follow-up 
The patient may also be withdrawn permanently from the trial for any of the following: 
• Patient or caregiver noncompliance 
• AE (including clinically significant laboratory result) that, in the opinion of the 
investigator, would compromise the continued safe participation of the patient in 
the trial 
• Failure to meet the eligibility criteria 
• Any evidence of the use of drugs of abuse or drug diversion 
• Suicidal ideation or behavior during the treatment period 
The patient should attend a withdrawal visit (Visit 14) as soon as possible after the 
decision is made to permanently discontinue GWP42003-P.  Patients who discontinue the 
IMP should have their dose of IMP gradually reduced (10% each day) over a period of 
10 days, beginning at the time the decision is made to discontinue (unless inadvisable due 
to an AE).  Patients who discontinue the IMP and complete tapering of the IMP prior to 
the completion visit do not need to attend an End of Taper visit. 
Should a patient request or decide to withdraw from the trial, all efforts must be made to 
complete and report the observations as thoroughly as possible up to the date of 
withdrawal.  Patients withdrawing due to an AE should be followed up according to 
Section 12.7.  All information should be reported on the applicable eCRF pages.  All 
assessments required at the withdrawal visit should be conducted, if possible.  If the 
tapered dose is administered, patients should return for Visit 15 (End of taper), if 
possible.  Wherever possible, a safety follow-up visit should take place 28 days from the 
date of last dose of IMP.  If the withdrawing patient declines to give a reason for 
withdrawal of consent, the investigator must respect the patient’s wishes.

URGENT SAFETY MEASURES 
The sponsor and investigator may take appropriate urgent safety measures in order to 
protect the patients of a clinical trial against any immediate hazard to their health or 
safety.  If such measures are taken by the investigator, they must notify GW immediately 
or at least within 24 hours of awareness.  GW will report urgent safety measures to 
regulatory authorities by telephone within 24 hours of awareness, wherever possible, and 
will provide a written report to the regulatory authorities and IRB/IEC within 3 days.

ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING 
12.1 
Definitions 
12.1.1 
Adverse Event 
For the purposes of this trial, an AE is defined as follows: 
Any new unfavorable/unintended signs/symptoms (including abnormal laboratory 
findings when relevant) or diagnosis or worsening of a pre-existing condition that occurs 
at any point up to the post-treatment, final safety follow-up visit (Visit 16), which may or 
may not be considered to be related to GWP42003-P.  Any event that is the result of a 
trial procedure must be recorded as an AE. 
Surgical/Investigational procedures are not AEs.  The medical reason for the procedure is 
the AE.  Elective hospitalizations for pretrial existing conditions or elective procedures 
are not AEs.  The exception may be if the patient has an AE during hospitalization that 
prolongs the scheduled hospital stay, in which case it would be considered an SAE (refer 
to Section 12.2). 
If reporting a fatal event, the SAE term should be the underlying cause of death 
(e.g., disease or medical condition leading to death). 
12.1.2 
Investigator 
The term “investigator” refers to the trial principal investigator (PI) or a formally 
delegated trial physician. 
12.2 
Serious Adverse Events 
During clinical investigations, AEs may occur, which if suspected to be 
GWP42003-P-related, might be significant enough to lead to important changes in the 
way GWP42003-P is developed (e.g., change in dose, population, monitoring need, 
consent/assent forms).  This is particularly true for events that threaten life or function.  
Such SAEs will be reported promptly to regulatory authorities, applicable IRBs/IECs, 
and investigators (expedited reporting) by GW. 
An AE must only be classed as serious, i.e., an SAE, when the event falls into one of the 
following criteria: 
• Results in death 
• Is life threatening*

V1, 24Sep15 
• Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
• Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
• Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
• Is medically significant** 
* The term “life threatening” in the definition of “serious” refers to an event in which the 
patient was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event that, 
hypothetically, might have caused death if it were more severe. 
** Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether SAE 
reporting is appropriate in other situations.  Important medical events may not be 
immediately life threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the 
patient or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the 
definition above.  These should also usually be considered serious.  Examples of such 
events are intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic 
bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in hospitalization, or 
development of drug dependency or use of drugs of abuse. 
12.3 
Reporting Procedures for Serious Adverse Events 
All SAEs occurring during the trial must be reported to GW with any other supporting 
information and recorded in the AE section of the eCRF.  Any ongoing SAEs should be 
followed up until resolution, wherever possible.  For all deaths, the working diagnosis or 
cause of death as stated on a death certificate, available autopsy reports, and relevant 
medical reports should be sent to GW promptly. 
All SAEs must be recorded in the eCRF within 24 hours of discovery or notification 
of the event.  GW Research Ltd PVD will be automatically notified that an SAE has 
been recorded.  Any additional information required for a case (follow-up or corrections 
to the original case) will be requested by GW PVD through eCRF queries.  
The investigator should continue to document all AEs that occur up to the last formal 
safety follow-up (Visit 16).  If the investigator subsequently becomes aware of any deaths 
or a new GWP42003-P-related SAE after the last formal follow-up period of the trial, 
these should still be reported to GW PVD. 
Any other problem discovered after Visit 10 that is deemed to be an unexpected safety 
issue and is likely to have an impact on patients who have taken part in the trial must be

treated as an SAE and reported to GW PVD.  Such post-trial SAEs do not need to be 
recorded on the patient’s eCRF if editing rights to the eCRF have been removed due to 
the final trial data lock.  GW Research Ltd PVD may request safety follow-up 
information after the final trial visit in order to investigate a potential safety issue. 
Contact details for GW PVD are provided at the front of the center files for all trial 
centers. 
12.4 
Pregnancy 
Any patient, or patient’s partner, who has become pregnant while receiving 
GWP42003-P or within 90 days of the last dose of GWP42003-P must be reported to GW 
PVD.  Where possible, the investigator should provide the outcome of the pregnancy. 
All pregnancies must be recorded in the eCRF within 24 hours of awareness.  GW PVD 
will be automatically notified that a pregnancy has been recorded.  Any additional 
information required for a case (follow-up or corrections to the original case) will be 
requested by GW PVD through eCRF queries. 
The investigator is not obliged to actively monitor for any pregnancies that commence 
more than 90 days after the final dose of GWP42003-P.  However, if the investigator 
becomes aware of a new pregnancy outside this time limit, then he/she should report it as 
above.  GW PVD will follow up for all pregnancy outcomes. 
12.5 
Causality Assessment 
Causality assessment is required for all AEs and SAEs.  Causality assessment must only 
be assigned by the investigator.  All cases judged as having a reasonable suspected causal 
relationship to GWP42003-P must be reported as such.  The expression “reasonable 
causal relationship” is meant to convey in general that there are facts (evidence) or 
arguments to suggest a causal relationship. 
The following question, which must be answered by the investigator for all AEs, is used 
to capture the reasonable causal relationship of an event to GWP42003-P: 
“In your opinion, is there a plausible relationship to the IMP?”  The answer is either 
“yes” or “no.” 
Events that start before the first dose of the IMP (pretreatment) should be considered as 
not causally related.  Where a pretreatment event worsens in severity following the first 
dose of the IMP, a new event record should be entered into the eCRF.

Considering the explanation given above, investigators are strongly encouraged to 
express their opinion on what the cause of an AE might be.  For individual patients, the 
investigator is usually in the best position to assess the underlying suspected cause of an 
AE.  For all AEs, especially SAEs, it is important that the investigator assess not only the 
possible role of GWP42003-P but also other potential contributing factors.  Factors for 
consideration of the underlying cause may include the following: 
• Medical and disease history 
• Lack of efficacy/worsening of treated condition 
• Concomitant or previous treatment 
• IMP discontinuation 
• Protocol-related procedure 
12.6 
Reporting Procedures for All Adverse Events 
All AEs (including SAEs) occurring during the trial will be reported on the running logs 
in the AE section of the eCRF.  This includes all events from the time following 
screening (Visit 1) up to and including the post-trial safety follow-up visit (Visit 16), 
whether or not attributed to GWP42003-P and observed by the investigator or patient. 
For the patient’s expected seizure types, these do not routinely require documentation as 
AEs.  However, any worsening, including a change in the pattern or severity of seizures, 
should be documented in the CRF if deemed to meet the definition of an AE, in the 
investigator’s opinion. 
Any AE that meets the SAE criteria should still be reported as an SAE. 
The following information will need to be provided for all AEs: 
A) Adverse Event (Diagnosis or Syndrome, if Known, or Signs and Symptoms) 
Where the investigator cannot determine a diagnosis, signs or symptoms should be 
recorded in the AE section of the eCRF.  Once a diagnosis has been determined, the AE 
section of the eCRF must be updated to reflect the diagnosis in replacement of the 
original symptoms.  In circumstances where only a provisional diagnosis is possible 
(working diagnosis), the eCRF must be updated to reflect the provisional diagnosis in 
replacement of the original symptoms.  In some circumstances, it may be relevant for the 
investigator to include the symptoms alongside the diagnosis in the verbatim event

description.  However, the diagnosis (full or provisional) should be clearly stated, 
e.g., fever and malaise due to respiratory tract infection. 
B) Adverse Event Start Date and Stop Date 
The start and stop dates of the event must be provided.  All AEs require these fields to be 
completed in full.  Partial dates or missing dates are not normally acceptable, and 
significant effort must be undertaken to obtain any unknown information.  If a precise 
date is not known, an estimated date should be provided instead.  When a complete date 
cannot be given, record as much information as possible (i.e., the month and year or, in 
exceptional circumstances, just the year).  When the actual start date becomes known, the 
eCRF must be updated to replace the previously recorded date. 
C) Outcome 
The outcome of the event must be recorded accurately and classified into one of the 
following categories: 
• Recovered 
• Recovered with sequelae 
• Continuing 
• Patient died 
D) Severity 
When describing the severity of an AE, the terms mild, moderate, or severe should be 
used.  Clinical judgment should be used when determining which severity applies to any 
AE. 
If the severity of an AE fluctuates day to day, e.g., a headache or constipation, the change 
in severity should not be recorded each time; instead, only the worst observed severity 
should be recorded, with the AE start and stop dates relating to the overall event duration, 
regardless of severity. 
A severe AE is not the same as an SAE.  For example, a patient may have severe 
vomiting, but the event does not result in any of the SAE criteria above.  Therefore, it 
should not be classified as serious. 
E) Causality 
See Section 12.5.

V1, 24Sep15 
F) Action Taken with IMP 
This question refers to the action taken with GWP42003-P due to an AE.  The action with 
GWP42003-P must be classified as follows: 
• None 
• Dose reduced temporarily 
• Dose reduced 
• IMP interrupted 
• IMP stopped 
12.7 
Follow-up Procedures for Adverse Events 
The investigator may be asked to provide follow-up information to GW PVD for any AEs 
reported or during the investigation of potential safety issues.  Such requests for 
additional safety information may occur post follow-up Visit 16, after the trial. 
Adverse events considered related to GWP42003-P by the investigator or the sponsor 
should be followed up until resolution or the event is considered stable. 
It will be left to the investigator’s clinical judgment whether or not an AE is of sufficient 
severity to require the patient’s removal from treatment.  A patient may also voluntarily 
discontinue from treatment due to what he/she perceives as an intolerable AE.  Further 
details of discontinuation are presented in Section 10.  If either of these occurs, the 
patient must permanently discontinue from treatment and be given appropriate care under 
medical supervision until symptoms cease or the condition becomes stable.  If a safety 
concern is identified following withdrawal of a patient, GW may contact the investigator 
for additional follow-up information. 
12.8 
Potential Cases of Drug-induced Liver Injury 
All investigational centers are required to submit to GW PVD the laboratory results for 
any patient after randomization who meets the criteria for the selected laboratory 
parameters as follows:  
• ALT or AST > 3 × ULN with the appearance of fatigue, nausea, vomiting, right 
upper quadrant pain or tenderness, fever, rash, and/or eosinophilia (> 5%) 
• ALT or AST > 8 × ULN

V1, 24Sep15 
• ALT or AST > 5 × ULN for more than 2 weeks 
• ALT or AST > 3 × ULN and (TBL > 2 × ULN or INR > 1.5) 
These reports must be sent to GW PVD via e-mail (see Appendix 2.2) within 24 hours of 
becoming aware of the results.  In addition, a copy of the patient’s baseline laboratory 
results with all reports should be sent to GW PVD. 
Abnormal values in AST and/or ALT concurrent with abnormal elevations in TBL that 
meet the criteria outlined above are considered potential cases of drug-induced liver 
injury and will be considered as protocol-defined criteria for treatment discontinuation 
and important medical events.  The investigator will arrange for the patient to return to 
the investigational center as soon as possible (within 24 to 48 hours of notice of abnormal 
results) for a repeat assessment of ALT, AST, TBL, alkaline phosphatase, 
gamma-glutamyl transferase levels, eosinophils as well as for testing INR (prothrombin 
time), detailed history; and physical examination.  Patients should be followed this way 
until all abnormalities have normalized (in the investigator’s opinion) or returned to the 
baseline state.  However, if the above transaminase elevation criteria are confirmed by 
the first set of follow-up laboratory tests, the patient must be withdrawn from the trial. 
Elevations in ALT or AST > 3 × ULN or TBL > 2 × ULN alone are not considered 
potential cases of drug-induced liver injury but will be followed as detailed above, within 
72 hours’ notice of abnormal results.  In cases where after Visit 1, ALT or AST are > 3 
× ULN, INR testing must be requested.  If only the hepatic function monitoring panel 
was requested and ALT or AST > 3 × ULN, both INR and hematology panel 
(eosinophils) must be requested.  If the patient cannot return to the investigational center, 
repeat assessments may be done at a local laboratory, and the results should be sent to 
GW PVD. 
12.9 
Notification of Safety Information to Investigators, Regulatory 
Authorities, and IRBs/IECs 
In accordance with the EU Clinical Trials Directive78 relevant parts of the FDA Code of 
Federal Regulations80 and any national regulations, GW will inform the investigators, 
regulatory authorities, and relevant IRBs/IECs of all relevant safety information.  This 
will include the reporting of relevant SAEs and all suspected unexpected serious adverse 
reactions (SUSARs).

This information will be provided through 2 sources: 
1. IB52: A compilation of the clinical and nonclinical safety data available on the 
IMP that are relevant to the trial.  The IB is updated at least annually or when 
important new safety information becomes available. 
2. Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) reports: 
These reports are issued every time a SUSAR is reported to GW.  They provide 
information on individual case reports and are sent to all the regulatory 
authorities, the relevant central ethics committees that have approved the trial, and 
the investigators.  As required, the investigators should notify their regional 
IRBs/IECs of SAEs or SUSARs occurring at their center and other AE reports, 
i.e., CIOMS reports and any additional safety documentation received from GW, 
in accordance with local procedures. 
In the US, investigators are normally required to report promptly to their IRBs all 
unanticipated problems involving risks to patients, or others, including AEs that should 
be considered unanticipated problems.  Based on current FDA guidance75 the following 
clarification is provided in determining what constitutes an unanticipated problem: 
In general, an AE observed during the conduct of a trial should be considered an 
unanticipated problem involving risk to patients and reported to the IRB only if it were 
unexpected, were serious, and would have implications for the conduct of the trial 
(e.g., requiring a significant, and usually safety-related, change in the protocol, such as 
revising inclusion/exclusion criteria or including a new monitoring requirement, informed 
consent/assent, or IB).  An individual AE occurrence ordinarily does not meet these 
criteria, because as an isolated event, its implications for the trial cannot be understood. 
The FDA guidance80 states that, accordingly, to satisfy the investigator’s obligation to 
notify the IRB of unanticipated problems, any investigators participating in a multicenter 
trial may rely on the sponsor’s assessment and provide to the IRB a report of the 
unanticipated problem prepared by the sponsor. 
GW Research Ltd will inform the investigators, regulatory authorities, and relevant 
IRBs/IECs of any safety issues or case reports that are considered to be unanticipated and 
provide such reports as mentioned above.  It should be noted that a single SUSAR report 
notified to the investigators in the trial does not necessarily constitute an unanticipated 
problem unless identified by GW in the submission cover letter.

analysis plan (SAP).  Any deviations from the original SAP will be described in the final 
clinical study report. 
13.1 
Sample Size, Power, and Significance Levels 
There is no formal sample size calculation for this trial.  All patients with RTT who 
completed the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (GWND18064) who 
wish to take GWP42003-P and who meet eligibility criteria can be included in this trial.   
Approximately 252 patients will be enrolled.  
13.2 
Interim Analysis 
No formal interim analysis will be conducted.  
13.3 
Analysis Sets 
For this trial there will be 1 analysis set: 
Safety Analysis Set 
• All patients who receive at least 1 dose of GWP42003-P in the trial will be 
included.  Only patients for whom it has been confirmed that they did not take any 
GWP42003-P will be excluded from this safety analysis set.  This analysis set will 
be used to report the safety data.  
13.3.1 
Protocol Deviations 
Protocol deviations will be listed.   
13.4 
General Considerations 
Unless stated otherwise, continuous variables will be summarized showing the number of 
nonmissing values (n), mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum, and 
categorical variables will be summarized showing the number and percentage of patients 
falling in each category. 
For clinic visit-based endpoints, baseline is defined as the last record or measure 
collected prior to the first dose of IMP in the RCT.

took his/her first dose of IMP in the clinic at Visit 1.  All data that will be collected 
during this trial will be summarized over time using appropriate descriptive statistics.  
Changes from baseline of the RCT will also be presented where appropriate.  
13.6.2 
Primary Safety Endpoints 
The safety endpoints are listed below and will be evaluated as detailed in the following 
sections: 
• AEs. 
• Clinical laboratory parameters. 
• Vital signs. 
• Physical examination procedures. 
• 12-lead ECG.

• Effects on menstruation cycles. 
• Suicidality. 
• Change in growth and development by measurement of height, weight, serum 
IGF-1 levels, and Tanner Staging (for patients aged ≥ 7 years or earlier, if 
clinically indicated by onset of menarche or other signs of precocious puberty). 
13.6.2.1 
Treatment Compliance and Extent of Treatment Exposure 
Treatment compliance and exposure to treatment will be summarized. 
13.6.2.2 
Adverse Events 
AEs will be coded according to the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 
dictionary. 
A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is one that started or worsened in severity or 
seriousness following the first dose of IMP.  
Descriptive presentations of TEAEs will be given by preferred term and system organ 
class.  The number of patients reporting at least 1 TEAE will be provided. 
The following summaries will be produced as a minimum: 
• All-causality TEAEs. 
• Treatment-related AEs. 
• All-causality TEAEs by maximal severity. 
• All-causality serious TEAEs. 
• Treatment-related serious TEAEs. 
• TEAEs reported as leading to permanent cessation of IMP. 
• Fatal TEAEs. 
13.6.2.3 
Vital Signs, 12-Lead Electrocardiogram, Physical Examination, 
and Other Safety Data 
Vital signs, ECG, physical examination, Tanner Staging, and serum IGF-1 levels will be 
summarized at each time point during the treatment period using appropriate summary 
statistics.  Changes in the vital signs and serum IGF-1 levels from baseline of the RCT to 
end of treatment will be summarized.

Clinical Laboratory Data 
Clinical laboratory data at the end of treatment in the OLE and the change from baseline 
of the RCT to end of treatment will be summarized using appropriate summary statistics.  
Categorical shift tables will also be presented, showing the numbers of patients with 
values outside the normal range.

Menstruation 
Details of menstruation cycles (where appropriate) will be summarized and listed as 
appropriate. 
13.6.2.5.1 
Suicidality 
Suicidality assessment responses will be summarized and listed as appropriate. 
13.6.3 
Secondary Endpoint(s) 
There are several secondary endpoints.  For each endpoint, the change from baseline of 
the RCT will be derived.  For visit-based endpoints, baseline will be taken as the last 
measurement prior to the first dose of IMP (e.g. Visit 1 of the RCT). 
The following secondary endpoints will be assessed by evaluating changes relative to the 
prerandomization baseline of the RCT and will be summarized using appropriate 
descriptive statistics: 
• RSBQ. 
• CGI-I.  
• CGI-S. 
• MBA-9. 
• CSHQ. 
For patients who complete the trial, regardless of whether IMP is discontinued or not, the 
visit effect used in the analysis will correspond to the score at each trial visit 
(see Appendix 1).  However, patients who withdraw from the trial are required to 
complete the procedures at Visit 14 at the time of withdrawal.  For these patients, their 
Visit 14 data will be assigned to the nearest visit (for which the assessment is scheduled 
to be performed), based on the day of the visit.  Further details will be specified in the 
SAP.

REGULATORY AND ETHICAL OBLIGATIONS 
15.1 
Declaration of Helsinki 
The investigator will ensure that this trial is conducted in full conformity with the current 
version and subsequent amendments of the Declaration of Helsinki73 the ICH 
Harmonised Guideline: Integrated Addendum to ICH E6(R1): Guideline for GCP 
E6(R2)74 the EU Clinical Trials Directive78 the EU GCP Directive79 and the clinical trial 
regulations adopting European Commission Directives into national 
legislation.81,82,83,84,85 
15.2 
Informed Consent/Assent 
Initial master informed consent and assent forms will be prepared by GW and provided to 
the investigator, who will tailor these for their center by adding the center’s contact 
details and by using headed paper.  The GW clinical manager will communicate updates 
to the template by letter.  The written informed consent/assent documents should be 
prepared in the language(s) of the potential patient population. 
Before a patient’s involvement in the trial, the investigator is responsible for obtaining 
written informed consent from the patient’s parent(s)/legal representative after adequate 
explanation of the aims, methods, anticipated benefits and potential hazards of the trial 
and before any trial-specific procedures are performed or any patient-related data are 
recorded for the trial.  The nominated caregiver will be asked to consent to complete the 
QoL questionnaires.  In cases where the patient possesses adequate understanding, assent 
will be taken (if allowed per local regulations) along with parent(s)/legal representative 
consent.  Assent is defined as the minor’s permission or affirmative agreement to 
participate in the trial.  The patient and/or parent(s)/legal representative must have ample 
time to consider the information provided before giving written consent/assent.  More 
specific definitions of “ample time” may be enforced if required by IRBs/IECs or local 
regulations. 
The acquisition of informed consent/assent must be documented in the patient’s medical 
records and the informed consent/assent forms must be signed and personally dated by 
the patient and/or parent(s)/legal representative/nominated caregiver (as applicable) and 
by the person who conducted the informed consent/assent discussion.  GW Research Ltd 
also requires a physician to be present for consent/assent and to sign the consent/assent 
forms.  The original signed informed consent/assent forms should be retained and a copy

GW will ensure that the center is informed of when screening of patients can commence.  
15.5 
Patient Confidentiality 
The investigator must ensure that the patient’s anonymity is maintained.  In the eCRFs or 
other documents submitted to GW, patients should be identified by their initials and race 
(if allowed per local regulations) and their trial screening number only.  Documents that 
are not for submission to GW, e.g. signed informed consent/assent forms, should be kept 
in strict confidence by the investigator. 
In compliance with the FDA regulations relating to GCP and clinical trials75,76,77,86 and 
the EU Clinical Trials Directive78and the ICH Harmonised Guideline: Integrated 
Addendum to ICH E6(R1): Guideline for GCP E6(R2)74 it is required that the 
investigator and institution permit authorized representatives of the company, the 
regulatory authorities, and the IRB/IEC have direct access to review the patient’s original 
medical records for verification of trial-related procedures and data.  Direct access 
includes examining, analyzing, verifying, and reproducing any records and reports that 
are important to the evaluation of the trial.  The investigator is obligated to inform the 
patient that his/her trial-related records will be reviewed by the above-named 
representatives without violating the confidentiality of the patient. 
All information concerning the IMP and operations of GW such as patent applications,

ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL OBLIGATIONS 
16.1 
Protocol Amendments and End of Trial or Termination 
Protocol amendments must be made only with the prior approval of GW.  Agreement 
from the investigator must be obtained for all protocol amendments and amendments to 
the informed consent/assent documents.  The IRB/IEC and regulatory authorities must be 
informed of all substantial amendments and give approval.  Amendments for 
administrational changes can be submitted to the IRB/IEC for information only.  The 
investigator must send a copy of the approval letter from the IRB/IEC to GW. 
Both GW and the investigator reserve the right to terminate the trial, according to the 
clinical trial agreement.  The investigator must notify the IRB/IEC in writing of the trial’s 
completion or early termination and send a copy of the notification to GW. 
16.2 
Trial Documentation and Storage 
The investigator must maintain a list of appropriately qualified persons to whom he/she 
has delegated trial duties.  All persons authorized to make entries in and/or corrections to 
eCRFs will be included on the GW Delegation of Authority and Signature form. 
Source documents are original documents, data, and records containing all 
protocol-specified information from which the patient’s eCRF data are obtained.  These 
include, but are not limited to, hospital records, clinical and office charts, laboratory and 
pharmacy records, diaries, microfiches, radiographs, and correspondence.  A source data 
verification plan, identifying the source for each data point at each center, will be agreed 
with each center prior to patient recruitment.  In the rare situations of data (that would 
normally be recorded elsewhere) being recorded directly into the eCRF in error, then the 
source data from the eCRF should be transcribed into the patient’s notes with appropriate 
signature and date to provide a full audit trail. 
The investigator and trial staff are responsible for maintaining a comprehensive and 
centralized filing system of all trial-related, essential documentation (as outlined in ICH 
Harmonised Guideline: Integrated Addendum to ICH E6(R1): Guideline for GCP 
E6[R2], Section 8.274), suitable for inspection at any time by representatives from GW 
and/or applicable regulatory authorities.  Elements should include the following: 
• Patient files containing completed eCRFs, informed consent/assent forms, and 
supporting copies of source documentation.

V1, 24Sep15 
• Trial files containing the protocol with all amendments, IB, copies of pretrial 
documentation (see Section 15.4), and all correspondence to and from the 
IRB/IEC and GW. 
• Enrollment log of all patients who consented to take part in the trial. 
• Screening and recruitment log of all patients screened and whether or not they 
were recruited into the trial (i.e. randomized and/or dosed with IMP). 
• Proof of receipt, IMP accountability record, return of IMP for destruction, final 
IMP reconciliation statement, and all drug-related correspondence. 
In addition, all original source documents supporting entries in the eCRFs must be 
maintained and be readily available. 
Following completion or termination of a clinical trial, GW will initiate proper archive of 
clinical trial-related documentation and electronic records generated by the investigator 
and/or GW.  All clinical trial-related documents and electronic records will be retained 
within an archiving system for a period dependent on the need and for a minimum of 
25 years.  Essential documents must be retained until at least 2 years after the last 
approval of a marketing application in an ICH region and until there are no pending or 
contemplated marketing applications in an ICH region or until at least 2 years have 
elapsed since the formal discontinuation of clinical development of the IMP.  These 
documents must be retained for a longer period, however, if required by the applicable 
regulatory requirements79 or if needed by GW. 
GW Research Ltd will inform the investigators for each center in writing of the need for 
record retention.  No trial document may be destroyed without prior written agreement 
between GW and the investigator.  Should the investigator wish to assign the trial records 
to another party or move them to another location, he/she must notify GW in writing of 
the new responsible person and/or the new location. 
16.3 
Trial Monitoring and Data Collection 
The GW representative and regulatory authority inspectors are responsible for contacting 
and visiting the investigator for the purpose of inspecting the facilities and, upon request, 
inspecting the various records of the trial, e.g. eCRFs and other pertinent data, provided 
that patient confidentiality is respected. 
The GW trial monitor, or designee, is responsible for inspecting the eCRFs, 
questionnaires, and dosing schedule at regular intervals throughout the trial to verify

adherence to the protocol, completeness, accuracy and consistency of the data, and 
adherence to local regulations on the conduct of clinical research.  The trial monitor must 
have access to patient medical records and other trial-related records needed to verify the 
entries on the eCRFs. 
The investigator agrees to cooperate with the trial monitor to ensure that any problems 
detected in the course of these monitoring visits are resolved. 
To ensure the quality of clinical data across all patients and centers, a clinical data 
management review will be performed on patient data received at GW or a contract 
research organization (CRO).  During this review, patient data will be checked for 
consistency, omissions, and any apparent discrepancies.  In addition, the data will be 
reviewed for adherence to the protocol and FDA regulations75,76,77,86 ICH Harmonised 
Guideline: Integrated Addendum to ICH E6(R1): Guideline for GCP E6(R2)74 and all 
other applicable regulatory requirements.  To resolve any questions arising from the 
clinical data management review process, data queries and/or center notifications will be 
sent to the center for completion and then returned to GW or the CRO, as applicable.  
Investigators and caregivers will be trained on the importance of adhering to the trial 
requirements and assessment completion.  Where issues are identified, additional training 
will be provided. 
16.4 
Quality Assurance 
In accordance with the FDA regulations75,76,77,86 the EU Clinical Trials Directive78, the 
ICH Harmonised Guideline: Integrated Addendum to ICH E6(R1): Guideline for GCP 
E6(R2),74 and the sponsor’s audit plans, representatives from GW’s Clinical Quality 
Assurance Department may select this trial for audit.  Inspection of center facilities, 
e.g. pharmacy, drug storage areas, and laboratories and review of trial-related records will 
occur to evaluate the trial conduct and compliance with the protocol, the EU Clinical 
Trials Directive,78 the ICH Harmonised Guideline: Integrated Addendum to ICH E6(R1): 
Guideline for GCP E6(R2),74 and applicable regulatory requirements. 
16.5 
Compensation 
GW will indemnify the investigator and the trial center in the event of any claim in 
respect of personal injury arising due to a patient’s involvement in the trial, provided that 
the trial protocol has been adhered to.  This would include claims arising out of or 
relating to the administration of the IMP or any clinical intervention or procedure

a Visit to be conducted by telephone. 
b To be performed to all patients completing or withdrawing from the trial.  Patients who withdraw early should commence the 10-day GWP42003-P taper 
period, if possible. 
c A safety follow-up Visit 4 weeks after last GWP42003-P dose is required for all patients who withdraw from the trial or complete the trial. 
d Informed consent must be obtained prior to any trial-related procedures.  In cases where the patient possesses adequate understanding, assent will be taken 
along with parent(s)/legal representative consent.  The nominated caregiver will be asked to complete the quality of life questionnaires. 
e Always required. 
f Required only if OLE Visit 1 is > 28 days after RCT Visit 9. 
g Required if OLE Visit 1 does not occur on the same day as RCT Visit 9.  
h Determination of serum IGF-1 levels at Visits 1, 8, 10, and 14 only; IGF-1 laboratory results will remain blinded throughout the trial. 
i Hepatic function monitoring is required following increases in GWP42003-P dose or introduction of medications that are known to impact liver function.  
If the concerned change does not occur within 1 month of a scheduled biochemistry assessment, the investigator should perform an additional hepatic 
monitoring within 1 month of the change.  Hepatic monitoring at Visit 7, 11 and 13 is required for patients taking concomitant valproic acid or whose dose 
exceeds 15 mg/kg/day. 
j  The dosing schedule is to be completed by the caregiver daily throughout the trial and reviewed at Visits 2 through 15.

RATIONALE 
This addendum covers protocol changes which are applicable to patients who were 
affected by COVID-19 pandemic containment measures during their participation in 
the parent study GWND18064:  
• Allowance for patients to enroll into GWND19002 after the point of 
GWND18064 follow-up (Visit 11). 
• Allowance for patients who withdrew from GWND18064 due to COVID-19 
pandemic containment measures to enroll into GWND19002 at a later date, 
when appropriate. 
There are no implications for the conduct of the GWND19002 trial for patients that 
were not affected by the COVID-19 pandemic containment measures, and no changes 
are required to the Clinical Protocol currently approved at each territory.  Please see 
Section 3 for full details of changes.

SUMMARY OF THE ANNEX 
2.1 
Objective 
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, patients may have been unable to attend 
the scheduled clinic visits or local safety assessments deemed required for the safe 
continuation of investigational medicinal product (IMP) dosing.  This situation may 
have resulted in the inability to complete GWND18064 or enroll into GWND19002 
within the timeline stipulated in the protocol (up to GWND18064 Visit 11). 
The objective of this annex is to define when patients whose participation in 
Study GWND18064 was disrupted by COVID-19 pandemic containment measures 
are allowed to take part in GWND19002 despite not meeting the criterion ‘Patient has 
completed all scheduled visits of the treatment phase of the randomized controlled 
trial (RCT), GWND18064, and has transitioned to open-label extension (OLE) by the 
point of RCT follow-up (Visit 11)’ defined in the GWND19002 protocol.  The 
measures implemented via this protocol annex do not affect the primary objective of 
GWND19002, which is to evaluate the long-term safety of GWP42003-P in patients 
with Rett Syndrome.

DESIGN AND PROCEDURES 
3.1 
Patient Eligibility 
With the exception of the inclusion criterion that requires patients must have 
completed all scheduled visits of the treatment phase of the RCT, GWND18064, and 
transitioned to OLE by the point of RCT follow-up (Visit 11), all inclusion and 
exclusion criteria defined in the GWND19002 protocol must be met. In addition, the 
following inclusion criteria apply: 
Inclusion criteria 
• Patient has completed all scheduled visits of the treatment phase of the RCT, 
either in clinic or completed as many scheduled assessments as feasible 
remotely, or has withdrawn from GWND18064 after discussion with the 
medical monitor due to inability to adequately monitor safety and benefit risk.  
• Visit 1 is taking place no later than 3 months after screening of new subjects 
for study GWND18064 has reopened at their trial site.  
Exclusion criteria 
• Any history of suicidal behavior or any suicidal ideation in the last month or at 
Visit 1. 
• 
Patient has clinically relevant abnormalities in the electrocardiogram measured at 
Visit 1 (including QT interval, corrected by Bazett's correction formula [QTcB] 
> 450 msec, average of 3 measurements).  
• 
Patient has any known or suspected hypersensitivity to cannabinoids or any of 
the excipients of the IMP (active and placebo), such as sesame oil. 
• 
Patient has moderately impaired hepatic function at screening, defined as serum 
ALT or AST > 3 × ULN or total bilirubin [TBL] > 2 × ULN.  
This criterion can only be confirmed once the Visit 1 laboratory results are 
available.  If Visit 1 laboratory results indicate the patient is not eligible, the 
patient must be withdrawn.  Prior to withdrawal for the transaminase elevations 
noted above, the investigator may choose to confirm the transaminase elevations 
by repeating the following laboratory tests within 24 to 48 hours: ALT, AST, 
TBL, international normalized ratio, % eosinophils, gamma-glutamyl 
transferase, alkaline phosphatase, and eosinophils.  Should the above 
transaminase elevation criteria be confirmed, the patient must be withdrawn 
from the trial. 
• 
Patient has received an IMP (other than GWND18064 IMP) since participation in 
GWND18064.  
• 
Patient has been taking felbamate for less than 1 year prior to Visit 1

• 
Patient is currently using or has used recreational or medicinal cannabis, 
cannabinoid-based medications (including Sativex® [nabiximols]) or cannabidiol 
oral solutions (excluding GWND18064 IMP) within the 3 months prior to Visit 1 
and is unwilling to abstain for the duration of the trial.  
• 
Patient has any other systemic dysfunction (e.g., gastrointestinal, renal, 
respiratory) or significant disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the 
investigator, may either put the patient at risk because of participation in the trial, 
may influence the result of the trial, or the patient’s ability to participate in the 
trial.  
• 
Any abnormalities identified following a physical examination of the patient that, 
in the opinion of the investigator, would jeopardize the safety of the patient if the 
patient took part in the trial.  
• 
Female patient is pregnant (positive pregnancy test) or lactating. 
3.2 
Trial Procedures 
3.2.1 
Visit 1 Procedures 
Visit 1 must include the Visit 1 assessments listed in the GWND19002 protocol as 
required for patients for whom OLE Visit 1 occurs > 28 days after RCT Visit 9. 
In addition the following assessments are required: 
• Concomitant medications review (details of all current and recent medication; 
i.e., those taken within the previous 14 days of Visit 1) 
• Menstruation question (where appropriate) 
• Height 
• Serum pregnancy test (if appropriate) 
• Rett Syndrome Behaviour Questionnaire 
• Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire 
• Caregiver QoL questionnaire (SF-36) 
• Patient QoL questionnaire (CHQ-PF50) 
• Tanner Staging (where appropriate) 
• Caregiver Assessment of Rett Symptoms 
• 9-items Motor Behavioral Assessment  
• Clinical Global Impressions - Severity 
• Clinical Global Impressions - Improvement (completed in relation to the 
baseline of the RCT, GWND18064 Visit 2)

SUMMARY OF THE ANNEX 
2.1
Objective 
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, patients may have been unable to attend 
the scheduled clinic visits or local safety assessments deemed required for the safe 
continuation of investigational medicinal product (IMP) dosing.  This situation may 
have resulted in the inability to complete GWND18064 or enroll into GWND19002 
within the timeline stipulated in the protocol (up to GWND18064 Visit 11). 
The objective of this annex is to define when patients whose participation in 
Study GWND18064 was disrupted by COVID-19 pandemic containment measures 
are allowed to take part in GWND19002 despite not meeting the criterion ‘Patient has 
completed all scheduled visits of the treatment phase of the randomized controlled 
trial (RCT), GWND18064, and has transitioned to open-label extension (OLE) by the 
point of RCT follow-up (Visit 11)’ defined in the GWND19002 protocol.  This annex 
also applies to patients who withdrew from GWND18064 due to sponsor 
administrative decision.  The measures implemented via this protocol annex do not 
affect the primary objective of GWND19002, which is to evaluate the long-term 
safety of GWP42003-P in patients with Rett Syndrome.

DESIGN AND PROCEDURES 
3.1
Patient Eligibility 
With the exception of the inclusion criterion that requires patients must have 
completed all scheduled visits of the treatment phase of the RCT, GWND18064, and 
transitioned to OLE by the point of RCT follow-up (Visit 11), all inclusion and 
exclusion criteria defined in the GWND19002 protocol must be met.  
In addition, the following inclusion criteria apply:
Inclusion criteria
 Patient has completed all scheduled visits of the treatment phase of the RCT, 
either in clinic or completed as many scheduled assessments as feasible 
remotely, or has withdrawn from GWND18064 after discussion with the 
medical monitor due to inability to adequately monitor safety and benefit risk, 
or has withdrawn from GWND18064 due to sponsor administrative decision.   
For patients who enroll after the point of RCT follow-up (Visit 11) the following 
additional exclusion criteria must be confirmed:
Exclusion criteria 
 Any history of suicidal behavior or any suicidal ideation in the last month or 
at Visit 1.
 Patient has clinically relevant abnormalities in the electrocardiogram 
measured at Visit 1 (including QT interval, corrected by Bazett's correction 
formula [QTcB] > 450 msec, average of 3 measurements).  
 Patient has any known or suspected hypersensitivity to cannabinoids or any of 
the excipients of the IMP (active and placebo), such as sesame oil. 
 Patient has moderately impaired hepatic function at screening, defined as 
serum ALT or AST > 3 × ULN or total bilirubin [TBL] > 2 × ULN.  
This criterion can only be confirmed once the Visit 1 laboratory results are 
available.  If Visit 1 laboratory results indicate the patient is not eligible, the 
patient must be withdrawn.  Prior to withdrawal for the transaminase 
elevations noted above, the investigator may choose to confirm the 
transaminase elevations by repeating the following laboratory tests within 
24 to 48 hours: ALT, AST, TBL, international normalized ratio, % 
eosinophils, gamma-glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase, and 
eosinophils.  Should the above transaminase elevation criteria be confirmed, 
the patient must be withdrawn from the trial.
 Patient has received an IMP (other than GWND18064 IMP) since 
participation in GWND18064.

Overview 
This statistical analysis plan (SAP) describes the planned analysis and reporting for GW protocol 
number GWND19002 (An open-label extension (OLE) trial to investigate the long-term safety of 
cannabidiol oral solution (GWP42003-P, CBD-OS) in patients with Rett Syndrome, dated 18 
December 2019 version #2.0 and corresponding protocole annex #1, version 2 dated 11 
November 2020. Reference materials for this statistical plan include the protocol and the 
accompanying sample data collection documents. GWND19002 is the extension trial of the 
GWND18064 trial which will be referred to here as lead-in trial. Operational aspects related to 
collection and timing of planned clinical assessments are not repeated in this SAP unless relevant 
to the planned analysis. 
The study objectives listed below are according to latest Clinical Study Protocol and Annex. Due 
to potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to patients and site personnel the Sponsor made 
the decision to discontinue the randomized trial (GWND18064) as well as the extension trial. 
Specific inclusion of patients in this extension trial is covered by the Annex. As this extension trial 
is stopped prematurely some planned assessments as per protocol will not be performed, see 
Section 9.5 for complete description of the changes. 
The structure and content of this SAP provides sufficient detail to meet the requirements identified 
by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA), and 
International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) of Technical Requirements for Registration of 
Pharmaceuticals for Human Use: Guidance on Statistical Principles in Clinical Trials1.  
The planned analyses identified in this SAP may be included in clinical study reports (CSRs), 
regulatory submissions, or future manuscripts. Also, post-hoc exploratory analyses not necessarily 
identified in this SAP may be performed to further examine study data. Any post-hoc or unplanned, 
exploratory analysis performed will be clearly identified as such in the final CSR. 
The statistical plan described hereafter is an a priori plan. It will be finalized prior to any 
descriptive analysis of data pertaining to study GWND19002.

3. 
Overall Study Design and Plan 
3.1 
Overall Design 
This is a multicenter, OLE trial for patients with RTT who have completed the randomized, 
double blind, placebo-controlled trial (GWND18064). 
Entry to this OLE trial is recommended to be on the same day as Visit 9 of the randomized 
controlled trial (RCT), GWND18064; however, patients may enter the OLE up to the RCT 
follow-up visit (Visit 11). For patients impacted by COVID-19, as per Annex, they are allowed 
to enroll into GWND19002 after the point of GWND18064 follow-up (Visit 11). For the ones 
who withdrew from GWND18064 due to COVID-19 pandemic containment measures or 
withdrew from GWND18064 due to sponsor administrative decision, they are allowed to enroll 
into GWND19002 at a later date, when appropriate.  
All patients entering this OLE trial will begin dosing with 5 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P (2.5 mg/kg 
b.i.d.) on Day 1. Patients will be observed, and after 1 week, the dose may further be escalated, 
at the investigator’s discretion, up to 15 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P (7.5 mg/kg b.i.d.) in weekly 
increments of 5 mg/kg/day (2.5 mg/kg b.i.d.). Patients should then remain on a stable dose of 
GWP42003-P for the duration of the maintenance period of the trial (up to 104 weeks), with the 
option for doses to be decreased or increased to a maximum dose of 20 mg/kg/day (10 mg/kg 
b.i.d.) based on clinical response and tolerability, as deemed necessary by the investigator, until 
the optimal dose is found. Patients whose dose has been decreased can have their dose increased 
again if tolerability improves. At the end of treatment (Visit 14 [Day 729]), the dose of 
GWP42003-P will be reduced over a 10-day taper period, and patients will enter the 4-week 
follow-up period. 
If a patient permanently discontinues treatment at any point during the trial, GWP42003-P 
should be gradually reduced over 10 days (unless inadvisable due to an AE). The patient should 
attend a withdrawal visit (Visit 14) as soon as possible after the decision is made to permanently 
discontinue GWP42003-P. If applicable, the patient will taper GWP42003-P, attend the End of 
Taper visit (Visit 15), and then complete the 4-week follow-up period. 
3.2 
Sample Size and Power 
There is no formal sample size calculation for this trial.  
All patients with RTT who completed the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial 
(GWND18064) who wish to take GWP42003-P and who meet eligibility criteria or as per annex,

all patients who withdrew from GWND18064 due to COVID-19 pandemic containment 
measures or withdrew from GWND18064 due to sponsor administrative decision, are included in 
this trial. 
3.3 
Study Population 
Same study population as the one defined at entry in lead-in trial: 
- 
Female or male patients aged 2–18 years (inclusive), who weight at least 10 kg at entry in 
lead-in trial. 
- 
At entry in lead-in trial, patients must have a clinical diagnosis of RTT (typical or atypical), 
defined according to RettSearch Consortium criteria. Patients must have a confirmed 
pathogenic genetic mutation of the MECP2 gene. 
Patients can be enrolled if they qualify for inclusion criteria and if they do not meet any 
exclusion criteria for GWND19002 protocol and annex. For complete list of 
inclusion/exclusion criteria, please consult clinical study protocol and annex.  
3.4 
Treatments Administered 
The administered treatment is GWP42003-P oral solution. Mode of administration: to be taken 
orally twice daily (morning and evening) using the syringe(s) provided, preferentially with food 
i.e., within 30 minutes after the end of a meal and in line with the patients’ normal feeding schedule 
and dietary habits.  The time of IMP administration in relation to food should be kept consistent 
throughout the trial. Patients will take their first dose of IMP during GWND19002 trial at clinic 
visit Visit 1 and caregivers will be instructed how to measure and administer the IMP to the patient.   
All patients entering this OLE trial will begin dosing with 5 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P (2.5 mg/kg 
b.i.d.) on Day 1. Patients will be observed, and after 1 week the dose may escalate further, at the 
investigator’s discretion, up to 15 mg/kg/day GWP42003-P (7.5 mg/kg b.i.d.) in weekly 
increments of 5 mg/kg/day (2.5 mg/kg b.i.d.). 
Patients should then remain on a stable dose of GWP42003-P for the duration of the maintenance 
period of the trial (up to 104 weeks), with the option for doses to be decreased or increased if 
deemed necessary by the investigator, to a maximum dose of 20 mg/kg/day (10 mg/kg b.i.d.). 
Dose adjustments should be discussed with the GW medical monitor. The final decision 
regarding dose adjustments should be taken by the investigator. 
At the end of treatment (Visit 14 [Day 729]), the dose of GWP42003-P will be reduced over a 
10-day taper period, and patients will enter the 4-week follow-up period. 
Patients discontinuing GWP42003-P treatment at any other time should undergo a 10-day taper 
period (unless continued dosing is inadvisable, e.g., due to an AE). The decision on whether to 
taper GWP42003-P or not will be left to the investigator’s clinical judgment. 
3.5 
Method of Assigning Subjects to Treatment Groups  
As this is an open-label study, with no assignment to treatment group, all patients will receive the 
GWP42003-P treatment. 
3.6 
Blinding and Unblinding  
As this is an open-label study no blinding applicable.

Statistical Analysis and Reporting 
Statistical analyses will be performed after the database is locked.  
4.1 
Introduction 
Data processing, tabulation of descriptive statistics, and graphical representations will be 
performed primarily using SAS (release 9.4 or higher). If the use of other software is warranted, 
the final statistical methodology report will detail what software was used for what purposes. 
Continuous (quantitative) variable summaries will include the number of patients (n) with 
non-missing values, the number of missing values, mean, standard deviation (SD), median, 
minimum, and maximum, unless otherwise specified.  
Categorical (qualitative) variable summaries will include the frequency and percentage of patients 
who are in the particular category for each possible value. In general, the denominator for the 
percentage calculation will be based upon the total number of patients in the study population, 
unless otherwise specified. 
The number of missing values will be calculated as difference between the total number of patients 
in the study population and the number of non-missing values.  
The minimum and maximum will be reported with the same degree of precision (i.e. the same 
number of decimal places) as the observed data. Measures of location (mean and median) will be 
reported to 1 degree of precision more than the observed data and measures of spread (SD) will be 
reported to 2 degrees of precision more than the observed data. 
Percentages will be presented to 1 decimal place, unless otherwise specified. 
4.2 
Interim Analysis, Data Review 
4.2.1 
Interim analysis 
No formal interim analysis will be conducted. 
4.2.2 
Data review 
No data review meeting will take place. After database lock, descriptive statistical outputs will 
be created.  
5. 
Analysis Populations 
The following analysis sets will be used for the statistical analysis:  
Enrolled  
• 
All patients from GWND18064 lead-in trial enrolled in GWND19002 trial.

Safety Analysis Set  
• 
All patients who receive at least 1 dose of IMP in the GWND19002 trial will be included. 
Only patients for whom it has been confirmed that they did not take any IMP during the 
GWND19002 trial will be excluded from this safety analysis set. This analysis set will be 
used to report all statistical analysis.  
Analysis sets will be identified during the conduct of statistical analysis after database lock. 
6. 
General Issues for Statistical Analysis 
All data collected in the study will be listed, ordered by site, patient number and, where 
applicable, chronological order of the assessment. Visit date is not needed to be included in the 
listings, day numbers will be included where appropriate.  
Other derived variables (e.g. change from baseline values) that are calculated for analysis 
purposes or to aid interpretation of the data will be included in the data listings.

6.1.2 
Baseline 
For all endpoints, two baselines will be defined: 
- 
the last non-missing observation recorded prior to the first drug administration during 
GWND18064 lead-in trial will be used as the RCT baseline  
- 
The value reported at Visit 1 during OLE study will be used as the OLE baseline 
6.1.3 
Last Visit 
The last visit for endpoints assessed at clinic visits is defined as the last scheduled visit at which 
a patient’s last evaluation (up to Visit 15/end of treatment visit/any other last visit) is performed.  
6.1.4 
Day Numbering 
The first day of treatment (Day 1) will be the date of Visit 1. 
Any days prior to Day 1 will be numbered relative to this day and calculated as: 
Date − (Date of Day 1) 
to give Day −1, −2, −3 etc. 
Any days post Day 1 will be calculated as:  
1 + Date − (Date of Day 1)

Multiple Comparisons 
No multiple comparisons are planned as no inferential analysis are planned. 
6.1.6 
Handling of Dropouts or Missing Data 
Every effort has been made to minimize missing data for this trial. The patient reported outcomes 
will be completed by the patient’s primary caregiver on electronic devices. These assessments 
have been set up in such a way that the caregiver cannot proceed to the next question if they have 
not entered a response for the current question. In addition, on the off chance that the device does 
not function correctly, paper alternatives of the assessments are available.  
6.1.6.1 
Handling of Missing Data for Efficacy Endpoint (Primary, Secondary and 
Exploratory) 
If a questionnaire has subscales then the missing items in a subscale can be imputed as the mean 
of the non-missing items in that subscale, provided that at least half of the items in the subscale 
were answered. If more than half the items in the subscale are missing then the missing items will 
be imputed as LOCF. 
If a questionnaire does not have subscales (eg MBA-9, CSHQ single item scale) the missing 
items will be imputed using LOCF. 
6.1.6.1.1 SF-36 
The SF-36 assessment will be scored by the QualityMetric Health Outcomes Scoring Software 5.0 
(Maruish, 2011) which assumes that the response to a missing item in a particular scale is the same 
as the mean of the responses to the scale’s answered items. This approach cannot be used to 
estimate item responses on the physical functioning scale due to the hierarchical nature of the items 
included in this scale. If items on the physical functioning scale are missing, the QualityMetric 
Health Outcomes Scoring Software v5.0 estimates the PF score using item response theory. If any 
SF-36 is logged as completed by an alternative caregiver, it will be counted as missing. 
6.1.6.1.2 CHQ-PF50 
Appendix 5 describes the methods of handling missing data for the CHQ-PF50 health scales. 
6.1.6.1.3 Adverse Events 
Missing and/or incomplete dates for AEs will be imputed in a manner resulting in the earliest onset 
or the longest duration during the treatment period, while ensuring that the start date is not after 
the stop date, i.e. missing start dates will be imputed as the first day of the month/first month of 
the year and missing stop dates will be imputed as the last day of the month/last day of the year, 
while ensuring that the start date is not after the stop date. Upper and lower limits of imputation 
will be date of Visit 1 and last visit date as defined in section 6.1.3, and events occurring on date 
of Visit 1 will be assumed post-IMP. Stop dates will not be imputed if the AE is ongoing. 
Imputed dates will be used for calculation of time to first onset and time to AE resolution, they 
will not be presented in AE listings. 
A worst-case approach will be followed in the event of missing severity or causality data.  If the

severity is missing, ‘Severe’ will be imputed.  If causality data is missing for a treatment emergent 
AE (TEAE), ‘Yes’ will be imputed for the question ‘Plausible relationship to study medication’. 
6.1.6.1.4 Concomitant Medication 
Missing concomitant medication dates will be handled in a similar fashion as described for AEs 
in Section 6.1.6.1.3. 
6.1.7 
Pooling of Sites 
As there are expected to be relatively few patients per site, the site will not be taken into account 
in the analyses. Therefore the question of pooling of sites does not arise.  
6.1.8 
Derived Variables 
For derivations of the efficacy variables, see Section 8.  The following additional derived and 
computed variables have been initially identified as important for the analyses to be performed for 
this trial.  
In case additional derived variables may be required: the SAP will not be amended for additional 
variables that are not related to the primary or secondary endpoints. Any additional derived or 
computed variables will be identified and documented in the SAS programs that create the analysis 
files. If the SAP is not amended, further derivations related to the primary and secondary endpoints 
will be described in the CSR.  
6.1.8.1 Adverse events 
Any adverse events occuring between last dose of RCT and OLE visit 1 will not be considered 
Treatment Emergent Adverse events (Aes occuring during study break). All other adverse events 
will be considered as treatment-emergent adverse events. 
A TEAE will be considered treatment-related if the plausibility relationship to IMP is recorded on 
the eCRF as ‘yes’.  If the data on plausibility relationship to IMP is missing then the TEAE will 
be considered treatment-related. 
A TEAE will be considered leading to permanent discontinuation of IMP (leading to withdrawal) 
if the action taken with IMP is recorded on the eCRF as ‘trial medication stopped’ or the outcome 
is recorded on the eCRF as ‘patient died’. 
A treatment-related TEAEs leading to withdrawal is a TEAE leading to permanent IMP 
discontinuation and considered treatment-related as per above definition.  
A TEAE will be considered leading to IMP temporary discontinuation if the action taken with IMP 
is recorded on the eCRF as ‘trial medication interrupted’. 
A TEAE will be considered leading to permanent IMP dose reduction excluding permanent 
discontinuation if the action taken with IMP is recorded on the eCRF as ‘dose reduced’. 
A TEAE will be considered fatal if the outcome is recorded on the eCRF as ‘patient died’. 
The time to first onset of AE will be calculated for TEAEs as: 
Start date of AE – Day 1 + 1

The time to AE resolution will be calculated for TEAEs as: 
Stop date of AE – Start date of AE + 1 
6.1.8.2 Concomitant medications  
A concomitant medication is defined as any medication that was administered during the treatment 
period (from Visit 1 of OLE trial). This includes medications that started before the treatment 
period and continued while on treatment and medications that started during the treatment period.  
6.1.8.3 Age 
Age will be calculated as: 
(Date of Visit 1 – date of birth) ÷ 365.25. 
6.1.8.4 Exposure 
The total number of dosing days in the treatment period will be calculated as: 
(Date of last IMP dose from Study Outcome eCRF form – Date of Day 1) + 1

at the end of taper visit under DS2 form. Total number of dosing days will be reported.  
8. 
Efficacy Analysis 
The efficacy analyses will use the safety analysis set. No formal hypothesis testing will be carried 
out for this study. Statistical analysis will be descriptive.  
8.1 
Rett Syndrome Behaviour Questionnaire (RSBQ) 
The RSBQ is a caregiver-completed questionnaire that measures the frequency of current disease 
characteristics (45 items) that may or may not apply to the patient.  Each item is rated on a 3-point 
numerical scale, where all items except for item 31 (“Uses eye gaze to convey feelings, needs and 
wishes”) is scored as follows: 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 is to be reverse scored, where 0 indicates that this item is ‘very true or often true’, 1 
indicating that this item is ‘somewhat or sometimes true’, and 2 indicating that this item is ‘not 
true as far as you know’. The total maximum score is 90 and higher total scores represent greater 
severity. 
The RSBQ score and its change from baseline (RCT Baseline and OLE Baseline) will be 
summarized on a numerical scale by visit. 
8.1.1 
RSBQ Subscales 
The RSBQ includes 8 subscales: general mood, breathing problems, hand behaviors, face 
movements, body rocking/expressionless face, night-time behaviors, anxiety/fear, and 
walking/standing.  The items included in each subscale are presented in Table 4.

* Item 31 is to be reverse scored as described in section 5.5.2. 
The subscale scores are calculated by summing the scores of the items in each subscale. 
Subscale scores and their change from baseline will be summarized by visit for each subscale.  
8.2 
Clinical Global Impressions - Improvement (CGI-I) 
The CGI-I is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to assess how much the patient’s illness has 
improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the intervention. This is 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 CGI-I score will be summarized on both a categorical scale and a numerical scale by visit. 
8.3 
Caregiver Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) 
The CGI-S is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the patient's illness at 
the time of assessment, relative to the clinician’s experience with patients who have the same 
diagnosis. Considering total clinical experience, a patient will be assessed on severity of illness at 
the time of rating. This is 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. 
CGI-S scores and their change from baseline (RCT baseline and OLE baseline) will be 
summarized by treatment and visit. Frequency table will be created for CGI-S categories by 
treatment and visit.  
8.4 
9-items Motor Behavioral Assessment (MBA-9) 
The MBA-9 scale is completed by the investigator and addresses core symptoms of RTT. MBA-9 
was derived from the full MBA scale (37 RTT symptoms) by selecting the items that are deemed 
to be amenable to change and that reflect areas of meaningful clinical change. The severity of 
current symptoms is rated on a 5-point numerical scale; 0 = normal or never; 1 = mild or rare; 2 = 
moderate or occasional; 3 = marked or frequent; 4 = very severe or constant. The MBA-9 score is 
calculated by summing the scores of the individual items.  The maximum score is 36 and higher 
scores represent greater severity. 
MBA-9 scores and their change from baseline (RCT baseline and OLE baseline) will be 
summarized by visit.  
8.4.1 
Children’s Sleep Habit Questionnaire (CSHQ) 
The CSHQ includes a total sleep disturbance score and 8 sleep subscales: bedtime resistance, sleep 
onset delay, sleep duration, sleep anxiety, night wakings, parasomnias, sleep disordered breathing 
and daytime sleepiness.  The items included in each subscale are presented in Table 5.

8.5 
Exploratory Efficacy Endpoints 
8.5.1 
Caregiver Quality of Life Questionnaire 
The caregiver’s health-related quality of life will be assessed using the 36-item short form (SF-
36). The SF-36 measures 8 domains of health-related quality of life: 1) limitations in physical 
activities because of health problems; 2) limitations in social activities because of physical or 
emotional problems; 3) limitations in usual role activities because of physical health problems; 4) 
bodily pain; 5) general mental health (psychosocial distress and well-being); 6) limitations in usual 
role activities because of emotional problems; 7) vitality (energy and fatigue); and 8) general health 
perceptions.  These domains are used to calculate 2 composite scores, the physical health 
composite score (PCS) and the mental health composite score (MCS). 
The items included in each subscale are presented in Table 6. 
Table 5 SF-36 Subscales

The raw SF-36 data will be sent to Optum via Rave Web Services so that the subscales and 
composite scales can be scored by the QualityMetric Health Outcomes™ Scoring Software 5.0.  
The scores will then be uploaded into the electronic database. 
The scoring of the SF-36 questionnaire via the QualityMetric Health Outcomes™ Scoring 
Software 5.0 is based on norm-based scoring which ensures that the scores for the subscales have 
a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10, based on the 2009 US general population (Maruish, 
2011). A higher score is indicative of a better health state. 
The steps that the software follows to score the scales and composite scales are summarized below: 
1. Some of the items are recoded to ensure that a higher score corresponds to a better health 
state for all items in the SF-36. 
2. The raw scores for the health domain scales are calculated as the sum of the final response 
values for the items included in each scale. 
3. Transform the score to a 0-100 scale score: 
Transformed scale score = (Actual raw score - Lowest possible raw score)/Possible raw 
score range x 100

4. Transform to z-scores ~ Normal(0,1) according to the 2009 US general population norms. 
5. Calculate T scores for each domain = T score = 50 + (domain z-score x 10).  T scores 
calculated to aid interpretation. 
6. Finally calculate MCS and PCS using a 3 step procedure: 
First, the eight health domain scales are standardized using means and standard deviations 
from the 2009 U.S. general population. Second, these standardized scores are aggregated 
using weights (factor score coefficients) from the 1990 U.S. general population. Third, 
aggregate PCS and MCS scores are standardized using a linear Tscore transformation with 
a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. 
SF-36 composite scores and SF-36 subscale scores along with their change from baseline (RCT 
baseline and OLE Baseline) will be summarized by visit.  
8.5.2 
Patient Quality of Life Questionnaire 
This instrument is a well-validated general QoL measure in pediatric populations with chronic 
illness. It measures QoL of the child and the family by parent or child report. The caregiver will 
be asked to complete the questionnaire on behalf of the patient. The CHQ-PF50 covers 
multidimensional health concepts including Physical Functioning, Role/Social Limitations–
Emotional/Behavioral, Role/Social Limitations– Physical, Behavior, Mental Health, Self-Esteem, 
General Health , Bodily Pain, Family Activities, Parent Impact–Time, Parent Impact–Emotional, 
and Family Cohesion. Scores for specific items and subscales, as well as a standardized physical 
summary (PhS) score and a standardized psychosocial summary (PsS) score, can be calculated 
from the CHQ-PF50 questionnaire. Scores are based on a 0 to 100 scale and higher scores indicate 
better quality of life.

Hospital Services Use Questionnaire 
The Hospital Services Use Questionnaire captures the frequency of hospital visits and patient 
hospitalizations.  The responses to this questionnaire will be listed only. 
8.5.4 
Caregiver Assessment of Rett Symptoms 
The Caregiver Assessment of Rett Symptoms is a symptom diary, including 12 items, each scored 
between 0 and 10, where a higher score for all items except items 1 and 9 represents a greater 
severity.  Items 1 and 9 will be reverse-scored and a total score will be calculated as the sum of 
items 1 to 10, 11a and 12a. For items 11 and 12, if 11 is ‘No’ then 11a should be scored 10 and if 
12 is ‘No’ then 12a should be scored 0.  A visit score will be derived for each item and for the total 
score as the mean of the scores since the previous visit. 
The total scores and the scores for each item of the Caregiver Assessment of Rett Symptoms along 
with change from baseline (RCT baseline and OLE baseline) will be summarized by visit.

Summary of TEAEs leading to IMP dose reduction excluding permanent discontinuation 
(by resolution and overall).

Summary of treatment-related TEAEs leading to IMP dose reduction excluding permanent 
discontinuation (by resolution and overall). 
• 
Summary of TEAEs leading to IMP interrupted (by resolution and overall). 
• 
Summary of treatment-related TEAEs leading to IMP interrupted (by resolution and 
overall). 
• 
Summary of fatal TEAEs. 
• 
Summary of TEAEs by time of first onset of AE. 
• 
Summary of TEAEs by time to AE resolution. 
• 
Summary of TEAEs reported in ≥ 2% of patients (after rounding)  
• 
List of patients experiencing TEAEs by SOC and preferred term. 
For the summary of TEAEs by maximal severity, for each patient, the worst severity recorded by 
PT, SOC and overall will be used for summary purposes.  If severity is missing, the worst case 
(severe) will be assumed. 
For summaries by resolution, AEs with an outcome of ‘recovered’ or ‘recovered with sequelae’ 
will be summarized as ‘Resolved’ and AEs with an outcome of ‘continuing’, ‘patient died’ or those 
with a missing outcome will be summarized as ‘Not resolved’. 
For the summary of TEAEs by time of first onset of AE, data will be summarized under the 
following categories: 
• 
Month 1 (Day 1–29). 
• 
Month 2 (Day 30–59).  
• 
Month 3 (Day 60–89). 
• 
Month 4-6 (Day 90–179). 
• 
Month 7-9 (Day 180–269). 
• 
Month 10-12 (Day 270–359). 
• 
>1 year (> Day 359). 
If patients have multiple occurrences of an AE then the AE will be counted once for the first 
occurrence only.  Percentages will be based on the number of patients in the safety analysis set 
who have a visit or follow-up call within each time period above. In case there is no planned visits 
in the interval, percentages will be based on the number of patients in the safety analysis set. 
For the summary of TEAEs by time to AE resolution, data will be summarized under the following 
categories: 
• 
1 week (≤7 days). 
• 
2 weeks (8–14 days). 
• 
3 weeks (15–21 days). 
• 
4 weeks (22–28 days). 
• 
>4 weeks (>28 days). 
• 
Ongoing (for AEs not resolved). 
If patients have multiple occurrences of an AE then the AE will be counted once for the occurrence 
with the longest time to AE resolution.  However, if any of the AEs are not resolved then the AE 
will be counted once within the ‘Ongoing’ category.

The start and stop day of the AE relative to Day 1 will be calculated as per Section 6.1.4.  
All TEAEs will be listed.  Listings will include the start and stop day of the AE, and limited 
demographic information about the patient (age, sex, race and weight at screening). A separate 
listing will be provided for serious AEs and events of special interest (see APPENDIX ). 
9.2 
Clinical Laboratory Evaluation 
9.2.1 
Hematology and Biochemistry 
Hematology and biochemistry safety parameters are measured at Visit 1, Visit 4, Visit 5, Visit 6, 
Visit 8, Visit 9, Visit 10, Visit 12 and Visit 14 (end of treatment). 
Summaries will be presented for each laboratory parameter at each visit. Change from baseline 
(RCT and OLE baseline) and percent change from baseline to each post-baseline visit will also be 
presented. 
If values for any of the parameters are below or above the limit of quantification of the assay (BLQ 
or ALQ), then they will be included in the summary tables at the BLQ or ALQ thresholds.   
Where laboratory samples are repeated, the baseline value is defined as the final recorded value 
prior to the first dose of IMP during the lead-in trial or prior to Visit 1 in OLE trial. 
Shift tables for hematology and biochemistry parameters will be produced, based upon normal 
ranges and GW toxicity limits (See Appendix 3), to determine the categorical shifts from each 
baseline (RCT and OLE) to each post-baseline visit.  Values will be categorized as ‘Normal’, 
‘Low’ or ‘High’ based on normal ranges and ‘Toxically Low’, ‘Toxically Normal’ or ‘Toxically 
High’ based on GW toxicity limits. 
For eGFR, results will be assigned to the following grades: 
• 
Normal: >60 ml/min/1.73 m2 
• 
Grade 1: 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 
• 
Grade 2: ≥30 and <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 
• 
Grade 3: ≥15 and <30 ml/min/1.73 m2 
• 
Grade 4:  <15 ml/min/1.73 m2 
A separate shift table will be produced for eGFR based upon the above grades to determine the 
categorical shifts from baseline to each post-baseline visit. 
An additional table will be produced, summarizing the number of patients meeting the following 
criteria:  
• 
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 1×ULN at baseline 
• 
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 1×ULN at baseline 
• 
AT > 1×ULN at baseline 
• 
Treatment-emergent ALT > 3×ULN, > 5×ULN and > 8×ULN 
• 
Treatment-emergent AST > 3×ULN, > 5×ULN and > 8×ULN 
• 
Treatment-emergent AT > 3×ULN, > 5×ULN and > 8×ULN 
• 
Treatment-emergent AT > 3×ULN and either bilirubin > 2×ULN or INR > 1.5 
where AT is AST or ALT, and treatment emergent is defined as criteria not met at baseline, but

• 
Clobazam use (as a concomitant medication) (Yes, No).  
• 
Valproic acid use and Clobazam use (as concomitant medications) (Yes/Yes, Yes/No, 
No/Yes, No/No).  
(A medication will be considered concomitant if it has a start date on or after the first dose 
of IMP or if it was started prior to the first dose of IMP and was ongoing.) 
• 
Patients taking 3 or more current AEDs.  
• 
Patients taking 4 or more current AEDs.  
All laboratory data will be listed; listings will include limited demographic information about the 
patient (age, sex, race and weight at baseline).  Abnormal laboratory values will be listed 
separately.  A further listing will be created for the laboratory reference ranges and toxicity limits.  
A listing of liver parameters (ALT, AST, bilirubin and INR) will be produced that includes the 
baseline result, result at the particular visit, change from baseline, upper limit of normal (ULN) 
value, ratio of result to baseline and ratio of result to ULN. 
9.2.2 
Urinalysis 
Urinalysis is assessed using dipsticks at Visit 8, Visit 10, Visit 12, and Visit 14 (end of treatment). 
Urinalysis results will be listed only. 
9.2.3 
Pregnancy Test  
Serum pregnancy test results will be summarized by visit. 
9.3 
Vital Signs, Other Physical Findings and Other Safety Data 
9.3.1 
Vital Signs 
Vital signs (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate) are measured at Visit 
1 , Visit 4, Visit 5, Visit 6, Visit 7, Visit 8, Visit 9 , Visit 10, Visit 12, Visit 14 (end of treatment) 
and Visit 15 (end of taper). 
Summaries will be presented for each vital sign parameter at each visit.  Change from baseline 
RCT and OLE baseline) to each post-baseline visit will also be presented. 
A separate table will be produced, by visit, presenting the incidence of patients with vital signs 
indicative of a medical condition at Visit 1 and indicative of an AE after Visit 1. 
Based on the criteria presented in Appendix 3, potentially clinically significant changes from 
baseline (RCT and OLE baseline) in vital signs measurements and other defined flagged values 
will be identified at each visit. The number of patients with a potentially clinically significant 
change from baseline will be summarized by parameter, and visit.  The number of patients with at 
least one post-baseline flagged vital sign parameter value will be summarized by parameter, and 
flagged criteria.

Based on the criteria presented in Appendix 3, defined flagged values will be identified at each 
visit.  The number of patients with at least one post-baseline flagged ECG parameter value will be 
summarized by parameter, and flagged criteria. 
9.3.3 
Physical Examination 
A physical examination which includes body weight measurements will be performed at Visit 1, 
Visit 4, Visit 6, Visit 8, Visit 9, Visit 10, Visit 12, and Visit 14 (end of treatment).  Height will be 
collected as part of the physical examination at Visit 8, Visit 10, Visit 12, Visit 14 (end of 
treatment). 
Any relevant findings at screening are included as part of the patient’s medical history. Any 
changes seen after screening that are indicative of an AE are to be recorded as such on the AE 
form and included as part of the AE summaries. 
Weight along with weight change and height data will be summarized by visit where applicable.  
9.3.4 
Suicidality Assessment 
The profound cognitive impairment of RTT patients is such that the Children’s Columbia-Suicide 
Severity Rating Scale is not considered appropriate in this trial. Instead, suicidality will be assessed 
by the investigator via a clinical interview with the caregiver. 
Responses to the suicidality assessment will be summarized by visit. 
9.3.5 
Growth and Development 
IGF-1 levels will be analyzed as part of the clinical laboratory testing.  IGF-1 levels will be 
summarized on a continuous scale, including change from baseline. 
Change from baseline (RCT and OLE baseline) to the end of treatment visit for IGF-1 levels will 
also be plotted against the Tanner Stages, weight, and height recorded at baseline. 
The pubic hair growth (both sexes), genital (males only) and breast (females only) development 
of all adolescent patients (i.e., > 7 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form, 
or earlier if clinically indicated by onset of menarche or other signs of precocious puberty) will be 
assessed using Tanner Staging.  The assessment can either be performed by examination during 
the study visit or the appropriate Tanner Stage can be indicated by the caregiver, with reference to 
the chart provided. 
Patients will be examined at Visit 8, Visit 10 and Visit 14 (end of treatment).  Once a patient

Visit 1; any changes in normal cycles will be captured at Visit 8, Visit 10, and Visit 14 (end of 
treatment). 
Menstruation details will be summarized as appropriate by visit. 
9.4 
Other Measures 
9.4.1 
Concomitant Medication 
Medications will be coded using the World Health Organization Drug Dictionary WHO-DD 
Enhanced (v.WhoDrugGlobalB3 ̽201903) or later version. 
All medication will be considered concomitant. 
For summaries and listings of medications the following approach will be used to determine the 
Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) term to be presented: 
• 
If coded to level 4 then the level 4 coded term will be presented. 
• 
If coding is not performed at level 4 but level 3 coding is present then level 3 coded term 
will be presented. 
• 
If coding is not performed at level 3 but level 2 coding is present then the level 2 coded 
term will be presented. 
• 
If coding is not performed at level 2 but level 1 coding is present then the level 1 coded 
term will be presented. 
Concomitant medications by ATC term and preferred term will be summarized by absolute counts 
(n) and percentages (%). 
The ATC term, preferred term, reported generic name and reported brand name will be listed. 
9.4.2 
Procedures and Non-Drug Therapies 
Procedures and non-drug therapies will be summarized overall. 
9.4.3 
Pregnancy Monitoring Form 
Any patient who has become pregnant whilst receiving IMP, or within 90 days of last dose of IMP, 
must be reported to the GW PVD. Where possible the investigator should provide the outcome of 
the pregnancy and complete the pregnancy monitoring form.  Details of pregnancies will be listed.

Patients Impacted by COVID-19  
A listing of all patients impacted by COVID-19 related study disruption will be provided. The 
listing will include patient ID, site and a description of how the patient’s participation was 
altered.  
Protocol Deviations related to COVID will be provided in a data listing.  
9.5 
Changes in the Conduct of the Trial or Planned Analysis 
After carefully evaluating the study performance and the potential impact of the COVID-19 
pandemic to patients and site personnel the Sponsor made the decision to discontinue the lead-in 
trial. The significant challenges to conducting studies in this vulnerable group of patients were 
magnified by the COVID-19 pandemic leading to the conclusion that it was no longer feasible to 
conduct the studies. All patients enrolled in GWND18064 continued the study as per plan and if 
agreed, entered the OLE extension. When entering the OLE extension, patients will complete this 
trial as per protocol and annex. The annex described conditions for patients entering the extension 
trial if they withdrew from RCT trial due to Covid, due to sponsor administrative decision or 
delayed entry into GWND19002 due to Covid. All OLE trial Visit 1 data will be summarized for 
patients enrolling in the OLE under this protocol annex. Their data will be summarized in the same 
way as that of patients enrolling in the OLE under the GWND19002 protocol. The summary tables 
will present data from patients enrolling in the OLE under the protocol annex combined with that 
of patients enrolling in the OLE under the GWND19002 protocol. Their data will also be presented 
separately.’ 
As a result the analyses described in this SAP differ from those that were initially intended and 
presented in the protocol. Initially only comparison towards RCT baseline was planned, in this 
SAP both comparison with RCT and OLE baseline is planned.

in the format “page xx of yy”. Note that programming notes may be added or modified if 
appropriate after each TLF shell.  
The final statistical output will be provided as fully bookmarked pdf file including a table of 
contents. 
All listings, tables, and graphs will have a header showing the sponsor company name and protocol 
and a footer showing the version of SAS, the file name and path, and the source of the data (eCRF 
page or listing number). 
In general, one listing will be produced per eCRF domain. All listings will be sorted by site, and 
patient number. 
In all listings a blank line will be placed between each patient. Within a data listing, if an item 
appears line after line (eg, repetition of patient number), then only the first occurrence will be 
displayed. 
In data listings, the information for one patient will be kept on one page if at all possible, rather 
than splitting a patient’s information across pages.

APPENDIX 5 Scoring the CHQ-PF50 
The CHQ-PF50 provides information on various health concepts, as well as the PhS and PsS 
scales.  Details for scoring each of these concepts and scales are based on the CHQ scoring and 
interpretation manual (HealthActCHQ, 2013).  
Global Health Item 
The global health item (item 1.1) of the CHQ-PF50 is calculated using the steps below. 
1. The scores for this item are recoded as presented below, where missing scores remain 
missing.

2. The final scores are then transformed so that they range from 0 to 100 in the following 
way: 
(Final item value – 1) / 4 × 100 
Physical Function 
Items 2.1 (a to f) are included in this health concept.  Each item is coded with a value from 1 to 
4, where 1 corresponds to a response “Yes, limited a lot”, 2 “Yes, limited some”, 3 “Yes, limited 
a little“ and d 4 corresponds to the response “No, not limited”. 
The score for the physical function health concept is calculated using the following steps: 
1. The mean of the scores (raw score) for items 2.1 (a to f) is calculated if at least 3 of the 
items have been answered.  If less than 3 items have responses this concept is set to missing. 
2. The standardized score which ranges from 0 to 100 is then calculated as follows: 
(Raw score – 1) / 3 × 100 
Role/Social Limitations Due to Emotional or Behavioral Difficulties 
This health concept is based on items 3.1 (a to c).  Each item is coded with a value from 1 to 4, 
where 1 corresponds to a response “Yes, limited a lot” and 4 corresponds to the response “No, 
not limited”. 
The steps below are followed to score this health concept 
1. If at least 2 of the 3 items have been answered, the mean of the scores (the raw score) for 
items 3.1 (a to c) is calculated, otherwise this concept is set to missing. 
2. The standardized score which ranges from 0 to 100 is then calculated as follows: 
(Raw score – 1) / 3 × 100 
Role/Social Limitations Due to Physical Health 
Items 3.2 (a and b) are included in this health concept.  Each item is coded with a value from 1 to

4, where 1 corresponds to a response “Yes, limited a lot” and 4 corresponds to the response “No, 
not limited”. 
The steps below are followed to score this health concept 
1. The raw score is calculated as the mean of the scoresif at least 1 of the items has been 
answered, otherwise this concept is set to missing. 
2. The standardized score which ranges from 0 to 100 is then calculated as follows: 
(Raw score – 1) / 3 × 100 
Bodily Pain and Discomfort 
The Bodily Pain and Discomfort scale includes items 4.1 and 4.2.  The scores for these items are 
to be reversed as presented in Table 13 and Table 14.

The Bodily Pain and Discomfort scale score is then calculated as follows: 
1. The mean of the two scores (the raw score) is calculated if at least one of the items has 
been answered. 
2. The standardized score which ranges from 0 to 100 is then calculated as follows: 
(Raw score – 1) / 5 × 100 
Behavior 
Items 5.1 (a to e) and 5.2 are included in this health concept.  Items 5.1 (a to e) are coded with a 
value from 1 to 5, where 1 corresponds to a response “Very often”, 2 to “Fairly often”, 3 to 
“Sometimes”, 4 to “Almost never”, and 5 corresponds to the response “Never”.  
Responses to item 5.2 are recoded using the rules in Table 15.

If at least 3 of the items 7.1 (a to f) have been answered the mean of the scores is calculated.  The 
mean score is then standardized to range from 0 to 100 as follows: 
(Raw score – 1) / 4 × 100 
General Health Perceptions 
Items 8.1 (a to e) and item 1.1 are included in this scale.  Items 8.1 (a, c, e) are scored from 1 to 5 
where 1 represents the response “Definitely true” and 5 represents “Definitely False”.  Items 8.1 
(b and d) are reverse scored as is seen in Table 19.

The emotional impact on parent scale score is then calculated as follows: 
1. If at least 2 of the items in this scale have been answered, the raw score is obtained by 
computing the mean of the responses, otherwise this scale is set to missing. 
2. The raw score is then standardized so that it ranges from 0 to 100 as follows: 
(Raw score – 1) / 4 × 100 
Time Impact on Parent 
Items 9.2 (a to c) are included in the time impact on parent scale.  The responses range from 1 to 
4 where 1 corresponds to “Yes, limited a lot” and 4 corresponds to a response of “No, not 
limited”.  If at least 2 items in this scale have been answered the raw score is calculated as the 
mean of the items.  If less than 2 items have been answered the scale is set to missing. 
Finally, the standardized score which ranges from 0 to 100 is calculated as  
(Raw score – 1) / 3 × 100 
Family Activities 
The family activities health concept is comprised of items 9.3 (a to f).  The responses range from 
1 to 5 where 1 represents the response “Very often” and 5 the response of “Never”.  If at least 3 
items in this scale the raw score is calculated as the mean of the responses, otherwise the scale is 
sent to missing.   
The raw score is then standardized as: 
(Raw score – 1) / 4 × 100

Standardized Physical Summary and Standardized Psychosocial Summary 
The PhS and PsS scales are scored using norm-based methods based on data from from the 
general U.S. population and six clinical samples of children. Table 24 includes the sample means 
and standard deviations, as well as factor score coefficients, used to derive the PhS and PsS scale 
scores.

The steps used in calculating PsS and PhS are summarized below: 
1. Calculate each of the CHQ-PF50 scales presented in Table and using the methods outlined 
in this appendix. 
2. Each scale is then standardized using a z-score transformation as follows: 
ݏ݈ܿܽ݁ݏܿ݋ݎ݁െ݉݁ܽ݊݋݂ݏ݈ܿܽ݁
ݏݐ݀݀݁ݒ݅ܽݐ݅݋݊݋݂ݏ݈ܿܽ݁
 
 
where the mean and standard deviation for each scale are obtained from Table 24 
3. Calculate PhS and PsS as a weighted sum of each standardized scale, using the factor score 
coefficients from Table 24 as the weights for each item in each scale. 
4. Transform each scale score to obtain t-score with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 
10 as follows: 
PhS = PhS weighted sum × 10 + 50 
PhS = PhS weighted sum × 10 + 50.
