Assessment of Potential for Chronic Liver Injury in Participants Treated With Epidiolex (Cannabidiol) Oral Solution
Study Purpose
This study will monitor for potential chronic liver injury and liver fibrosis, in
participants treated with cannabidiol oral solution.
Recruitment Criteria
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms
No
Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.
An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

disorder or is to be started on Epidiolex for treatment of an Food and Drug
Administration (FDA)-approved indication.
- Participant is willing to refrain from strenuous exercise 48 to 72 hours prior to
all study visits with the exception of unscheduled visits.
- Any non-pharmacological therapies (e.g., ketogenic diet) must also be stable up to 4
weeks prior to Screening Visit and expected to be stable throughout the duration of
the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Participant is currently using or within 3 months of screening has used recreational
or medicinal cannabis, or synthetic cannabinoid-based medications, not including
Epidiolex if currently prescribed.
- Participant is not planning to abstain from using recreational cannabinoids or

at risk because of participation in the study, may influence the result of the
study, or may affect the participant's ability to take part in the study.
- Participant has diseases or disorders which are associated with liver fibrosis with
a FibroScan score of ≥ 6.5 Kilopascals (where FibroScan results are available).
- Positive serology panel (including hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis C virus
antibody) and/or positive human immunodeficiency virus antibody/p24 antigen screens
at screening.
- Following a physical examination, if the participant has any abnormalities that, in
the opinion of the investigator, would prevent the participant from safe
participation in the study.
- Participant has significantly impaired hepatic function at Screening Visit alanine
aminotransferase or aminotransferase > 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN), and total
bilirubin > 2 x ULN or international normalized ratio > 1.5.
- Participant is planning to have epilepsy surgery or other major surgery within five
years.
- Participant has or plans to have any medical device implanted that is
contraindicated for use with FibroScan (only applicable for FibroScan subset), with

within 3 months prior to the Screening Visit or at any point during this study.
Trial Details
Trial ID:
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.
Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.
Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.
Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
