1 . CBD effect on CLB and N-desmethylclobazam (id=NPDI-kJ7mIQ)

In Vivo Interaction Study

Increased systemic exposure was detected.

clobazam

cannabidiol

Study GWEP1543

cannabidiol

Study GWEP1428 (p 106)

Results

Test ratios indicate the Day33:Day 1 ratio for individuals allocated to active drug.
Control ratios indicate the Day 33:Day ratio for individuals allocated to placebo.

CBD did not alter Cmax or AUC of clobazam but did increase exposure to the N-desmethylclobazam metabolite.

11 . CBD Effect on Midazolam (id=NPDI-d2rDLg)

In Vivo Interaction Study

No Effect (based on bioequivalence limits) was detected.

midazolam 708298

cannabidiol

Systemic exposure to midazolam was relatively unaffected by concomitant administration of CBD indicating lack of inhibition or induction of CYP3A4. The increased exposure to 1'-hydroxymidazolam may be due to downstream inhibition of glucuronidation by UGT2B7. Further details can be found in "Clinical Pharmacology Biopharmaceutics Review(s)"

Information from Study GWEP17028 (starting page 109)

Subjects received a single 2.5 mg oral midazolam dose on Day -1 (reference). Subjects then recieved "escalating doses of CBD from Day 1 (250 mg once daily) to Day 11 (750 mg twice daily), followed by 14 days of 750 mg CBD b.i.d. (Days 12-25). On Day 25, subjects received a 2.5 mg oral dose of midazolam concurrently with the morning dose of CBD (test)"
