In October 2018 our achievements were recognized by TIME magazine which named GW as one of the 'Top 50 Genius companies of 2018 that are inventing the future'. Having developed the world's first prescription medicine derived from the cannabis plant, Sativex, which treats spasticity due to multiple sclerosis,GW has now developed an oral formulation of purified cannabidiol (CBD), (approved as Epidyolex in Europe) for use as adjunctive therapy of seizures associated with Lennox Gastaut syndrome (LGS) or Dravet syndrome (DS), in conjunction with clobazam, for patients 2 years of age and older. Lennox-Gastaut syndrome or Dravet Syndrome are two rare and severe early-onset, drug-resistant epilepsy syndromes. CBD is approved in the US as Epidiolex. This is in addition to our deep pipeline of clinical stage cannabinoid candidates under development for both orphan and non-orphan indications with a particular focus on neurological conditions. In the UK, we have close to 550 employees from a diverse range of backgrounds and disciplines based on four sites in Cambridge, Kent, London and Andover, along with employees working in the field. We also have a strong presence in the U.S. with around 250 U.S. employees, based both in Carlsbad, CA and in the field.
