Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - NTI164

Experimental: Active NTI164 Arm - Participants in this arm receive Full-Spectrum Medicinal Cannabis Plant Extract containing 0.08% THC (NTI164), targeted at treating symptoms of Rett syndrome (RTT) in children and young people. The intervention starts with a daily initial dose of 5 mg/kg, which is increased gradually over a four-week up-titration phase to a maximum of 20 mg/kg per day, depending on individual tolerance. Participants then continue at their maximum tolerated dose for eight weeks during the treatment phase. The study concludes with a four-week down-titration phase, where the dosage is reduced by 5 mg/kg each week. The effectiveness of the treatment is monitored through specialized questionnaires and full blood examinations throughout the study duration.


Treatment: Drugs: NTI164
Full-Spectrum Medicinal Cannabis Plant Extract containing 0.08% THC, administered orally starting with a dose of 5 mg/kg, titrated up to 20 mg/kg based on tolerance, followed by a maintenance phase at the maximum tolerated dose, and concluding with a gradual dose reduction.
