• All medications or interventions for epilepsy (including ketogenic diet and anyneurostimulation devices for epilepsy) must have been stable for 4 weeks prior toscreening and any major changes to treatment regimens should be discussed with themedical monitor.

  1. Is naïve to CBD-OS treatment or has been off CBD-OS treatment for at least 3 monthsprior to Screening.

  2. Is willing to maintain any factors expected to affect seizures stable (eg, alcoholconsumption, smoking, concomitant medication usage).

  3. Is male or female

  4. Male participants: • Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the followingduring the intervention period and for at least 2 weeks, corresponding to thetime needed to eliminate the study intervention after the last dose of studyintervention:

  • Refrain from donating fresh unwashed semen. PLUS
  • Use a male condom in addition to a second method of acceptablecontraception used by their female partners when having sexual intercoursewith a women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who is not currentlypregnant.

  • Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective,preferably with low user dependency during the study interventionperiod and for at least 3 months after the last dose of studyintervention. The investigator should evaluate the potential forcontraceptive method failure (eg, noncompliance, recently initiated)in relationship to the first dose of study intervention.
  • A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test within 28days before the first dose of study intervention.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Has a clinically significant unstable medical condition other than epilepsy.

  2. Has an illness during the 4 weeks prior to screening other than epilepsy which, inthe investigator's opinion, could affect study outcomes.

  3. Has TSC-specific tumor growth which, in the investigator's opinion, could affect theeffectiveness endpoints.

  4. Has previously undergone significant surgery for epilepsy that, in theinvestigator's opinion, may impact the assessment of outcomes.

  5. Has initiated felbamate within the last 12 months prior to Screening.

  6. Is currently using or has in the past used recreational or medicinal cannabis orsynthetic cannabinoid-based medications within the 3 months prior to Screening andis not willing to undergo a 1-month washout period before being rescreened.

  7. Has received an investigational medicinal product within the 3 months prior to theScreening Visit.

  8. Has previously been assigned study intervention for this study or is currentlyenrolled in any other interventional study.

  9. Has laboratory values at the Baseline Visit that are abnormal and of clinicalsignificance in the investigator's opinion.

  10. Participant has significantly impaired hepatic function at the Baseline Visit.

  11. Has any history of suicidal behavior or any suicidal ideation of type 4 or 5 asevaluated with C-SSRS or Children's C-SSRS at the Screening Visit (for participants ≥ 4 years of age).
