776772000640 CANNABINOID COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATMENT OF POST-TRAUMATIC EPILEPSY CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Nos. 63/614,441, filed December 22, 2023, and 63/638,863, filed April 25, 2024, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. FIELD [0002] The present disclosure relates generally to treatment of post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE), and more specifically to the use of certain cannabinoid compositions for treating PTE. BACKGROUND [0003] Post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) is a debilitating condition characterized by recurrent seizures that develop as a result of a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Estimates suggest that approximately 30% to 50% of patients with PTE may have refractory epilepsy, where seizures persist despite treatment with multiple antiseizure medications (ASMs) and other therapeutic interventions. Additionally, debilitating side effects of medications often impact treatment compliance and quality of life. For this reason, the search for alternative treatments that can offer improved outcomes and quality of life for these patients is of great importance. Thus, what is needed in the art are alternative treatments for PTE. BRIEF SUMMARY [0004] In some aspects, provided is a method of treating post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) in a human in need thereof. In some embodiments, the method comprises: administering a cannabinoid composition comprising cannabidiol (CBD), cannabigerol (CBG), and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) present as a major component therein. [0005] In certain embodiments, the CBD, CBG and/or THC may be provided as: (i) one or more botanical drug substances (“BDS”); (ii) one or more extracts from cannabis plants (“extracts”); (iii) one or more extracts from cannabis plants blended with additional sources of CBD, CBG and/or THC (“blended extracts”); (iv) purified CBD, CBG and/or THC, e.g., obtained from purifying the extracts or blended extracts; or (v) isolates of CBD, CBG and/or THC. In some variations, the cannabinoid composition further comprises other cannabinoids 1 sf-6205389 776772000640 and non-cannabinoids (e.g., terpenes) formulated in a vehicle (e.g., a lipid vehicle) to yield the final product composition that may be administered to a human in need thereof. Such other cannabinoids and non-cannabinoids (e.g., terpenes) are present from the source from which the composition is obtained. DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0006] The following description sets forth exemplary compositions, methods, parameters and the like. It should be recognized, however, that such description is not intended as a limitation on the scope of the present disclosure but is instead provided as a description of exemplary embodiments. [0007] Cannabinoids are compounds structurally or pharmacologically related to the constituents of the cannabis plant or to the endogenous agonists (endocannabinoids) of the cannabinoid receptors CB1 or CB2. Cannabinoids may be naturally derived from cannabis plants or synthetically derived. Cannabis plants comprise a highly complex mixture of compounds, and hundreds of such compounds have been identified. [0008] Traditionally, crude extracts from cannabis plants containing CBD have been used by patients suffering from various diseases and disorders. However, such crude products are generally unsuitable for use in pharmaceutical formulations. Those seeking to prepare more consistent CBD formulations for use in treating diseases or disorders have made an effort to either prepare CBD synthetically or attempt to remove all compounds other than CBD, particularly psychoactive compounds such as THC, from plant derived cannabinoids. [0009] The present invention encompasses the surprising discovery that particular compositions comprising CBD in combination with CBG and THC have an improved therapeutic efficacy for treating seizures in post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE). Cannabinoid Compositions [0010] In some aspects, provided are cannabinoid compositions comprising a combination of CBD, CBG and THC, which are collectively present as the major components of the cannabinoids in the compositions. In certain embodiments, the compositions herein, including the compositions administered in the methods herein, are drug formulations that comprise a combination of extracts or isolated compounds from one or more cultivars that are blended to achieve certain ratios of CBD, CBG and THC. For example, in some variations, 2 sf-6205389 776772000640 extracts from genetically identical clones of three different cultivars (e.g., high CBD cultivars, high CBG cultivars, and high THC cultivars) may be used to produce the drug formulations. The components of the cannabinoid compositions provided herein are described in further detail below. [0011] In some variations, the CBD, CBG and THC are collectively greater than 50%, greater than 60%, greater than 70%, greater 80%, greater than 85%, greater than 90%, greater than 95%, greater than 96%, greater than 97%, greater than 98%, or greater than 9%; or between 50% and 99.9%, between 60% and 99%, between 70% and 99%, between 80% and 99%, between 85% and 99%, between 85% and 95%, or between 90% and 99% by weight of the cannabinoids present in the composition. [0012] It should be understood that in addition to the cannabinoids, in some embodiments, the cannabinoid compositions may include other cannabinoids as well as non- cannabinoids formulated in a vehicle, such as a lipid vehicle, as described in further detail below. Such other cannabinoids as well as non-cannabinoids are present from the cannabis plant from which the compositions are obtained. Thus, in some variations, the composition comprises CBD, CBG and THC in the ratios and amounts as described herein, as well as other components, such as terpenes, and lipid excipients. [0013] The structures of CBD, CBG and THC are well understood in the art. In some embodiments, the THC present in the compositions herein is primarily in the form of (–)- delta-9-trans-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC). [0014] In some variations, the CBD, CBG and THC are present in a molar ratio between about 100:100:1 and about 1:1:1; or between about 100:50:1 and about 20:1:1. In certain variations, the CBD and CBG are present in a molar ratio between about 100:1 and about 1:1. In certain variations, the molar ratio of CBD and THC is between about 50:1 and about 1:1. [0015] In some variations, the CBD, CBG and THC are present in a weight ratio between about 100:100:1 and about 1:1:1; or between about 100:50:1 and about 20:1:1. In some variations, the CBD, CBG and THC are present in a weight ratio between about 1:0.016- 0.15:0.003-0.03. In certain variations, the CBD and CBG are present in a weight ratio between about 100:1 and about 1:1. In certain variations, the weight ratio of CBD to THC is between about 50:1 and about 1:1. In certain variations, the weight ratio of CBD to CBG is 3 sf-6205389 776772000640 between about 1:0.016-0.15. In certain variations, the weight ratio of CBD to THC is between about 1:0.003-0.03. [0016] In some variations, the CBD is greater than half of the cannabinoids present in the composition by weight. In certain variations, the CBD is greater than 49% by weight, or between 49% and 98% by weight of the cannabinoids present in the composition. In other variations, the combination of CBD and CBG is greater than half of the cannabinoids present in the composition by weight. [0017] In some variations, the CBD is greater than 5 mg/ml, between about 50 mg/ml and 150 mg/ml, or between about 5mg/ml and 500 mg/ml in the total composition; and the CBG is between about 5 mg/ml and 95 mg/ml, between about 5 mg/ml and 50 mg/ml, between about 5 mg/ml and 20 mg/ml, or between about 2.5 mg/l and 7.5 mg/ml in the total composition. In certain variations, the CBD is between about 50 mg/ml and 150 mg/ml. In certain variations, the CBG is between about 2.5 mg/ml and 7.5 mg/ml in the total composition. In a variation of the foregoing, the “total composition” includes cannabinoids, non-cannabinoids (e.g., terpenes, if present), and a vehicle (e.g., lipid vehicle). [0018] It should be understood that any suitable methods and techniques known in the art may be employed to measure the amounts of the components in the compositions. For example, gravimetric or volumetric methods may be employed to quantify the components present in the composition. One of skill in the art would appreciate how to convert the mg/ml units to other suitable units, such as mg/g. [0019] In other variations, the CBD is greater than 1% by weight, or between 1% and 90% by weight of the total composition; and the CBG is greater than 0.3% by weight, or between 0.3% and 49% by weight of the total composition. In a variation of the foregoing, the “total composition” includes cannabinoids, non-cannabinoids (e.g., terpenes, if present), and a vehicle (e.g., lipid vehicle). [0020] In some variations, the THC is present in an amount less than the limit set forth by the appropriate regulatory agencies, including for example, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) or the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) (e.g., with respect to the 2018 Farm Bill for Hemp products). In certain variations, the THC is less than 0.3% by weight, or between 0.05 % and 0.3% by weight of the cannabinoids present in the composition. In certain variations, the 4 sf-6205389 776772000640 THC is less than 2 mg/ml, or between about 0.5 mg/ml and 1.5 mg/ml in the total composition. In a variation of the foregoing, the “total composition” includes cannabinoids, non-cannabinoids (e.g., terpenes, if present), and a vehicle (e.g., lipid vehicle). [0021] In some embodiments, the CBD is about 100 mg/ml, the CBG is about 5 mg/ml, and the THC is about 1 mg/ml. In some variations of the foregoing, the THC is less than 0.3% by weight of the cannabinoids present in the composition. In certain variations, the minor cannabinoids are less than about 5%, less than about 2.5%, or less than about 1% by weight of the cannabinoids present in the composition. [0022] In some embodiments, the cannabinoid compositions provided herein further comprise additional components, including other cannabinoids and/or non-cannabinoids. For example, in some variations, the composition further comprises one or more of the following: cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), cannabichromene (CBC), and terpenes (such as alpha-bisabolol, guaiol, beta-caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide, alpha-humulene or alpha-caryophyllene, limonene, linalool, beta-myrcene, trans-nerolidol, (E)-b-ocimene, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, terpineols, terpnolene, and valencene).

[0025] In addition to the above cannabinoids, the carboxylic acids which are biosynthetic precursors of each are contemplated as cannabinoids that may be present in the compositions described herein. In such instances, such cannabinoids are present as a minor component in the composition. In some variations, the cannabinoid precursors are not present in a detectable amount in the composition. [0026] In some variations, minor cannabinoids present are collectively less than about 5% or less than about 2.5% by weight of the total composition. In a variation of the foregoing, the “total composition” includes cannabinoids, non-cannabinoids (e.g., terpenes, if present), and a vehicle (e.g., lipid vehicle). [0027] In other variations, the compositions further comprise terpenes.

In one variation, depending on the source of the cannabinoids as described in further detail below, no detectable amounts of terpenes may be found. [0028] In yet other variations, the composition further comprises flavonoids. In one variation, depending on the source of the cannabinoids as described in further detail below, no detectable amounts of flavonoids may be found. 7 sf-6205389 776772000640 [0029] It should be understood that the minor cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids, if present in the composition, may be from the BDS and/or extracts used to provide the CBD, CBG and THC, and such sources are described in further detail below. Source of CBD, CBG and THC [0030] In some embodiments of the cannabinoid compositions provided herein, the CBD, CBG and THC are provided as a combination of extracts or isolated from at least two cannabis cultivars. [0031] In some variations when the compositions comprise a combination of BDS, extracts or blended extracts (as described in further detail below), such compositions are polymodal compositions that include multiple active components that affect multiple targets and implicate multiple mechanisms of action simultaneously. The polymodality of such compositions may positively affect efficacy and safety profile. Such polymodal compositions may be viewed as distinct from fixed dose combinations (“FDCs”) that typically will use highly purified or isolated cannabinoid components. BDS [0032] In some embodiments, one or more of CBD, CBG and THC are provided in the form a botanical drug substance (BDS). In some variations, the CBD, CBG and THC are each in the form of BDS. In some variations, a “botanical drug substance” or “BDS” is defined in the Guidance for Industry Botanical Drug Products Draft Guidance, August 2000, US Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administration Centre for Drug Evaluation and Research as: “A drug derived from one or more plants, algae, or microscopic fungi. It is prepared from botanical raw materials by one or more of the following processes: pulverisation, decoction, expression, aqueous extraction, ethanolic extraction or other similar processes.” A botanical drug substance does not include a highly purified or chemically modified substance derived from natural sources. Thus, in the case of cannabis, BDS derived from cannabis plants do not include highly purified pharmaceutical grade cannabinoids. [0033] In some embodiments, the cannabinoid composition consists essentially of CBD, CBG and THC, in the form of botanical drug substance, wherein CBD, CBG and THC collectively a major component of the cannabinoids present in the composition, in the ratios and amounts as described herein. 8 sf-6205389 776772000640 Extracts [0034] In other embodiments, one or more of CBD, CBG and THC are provided as extracts from the cannabis plant. Such extracts may be obtained using any suitable methods and techniques known in the art. For example, dried cannabis flowers are soaked in water or alcohol to obtain the trichomes from the plant. The trichomes undergo solvent extraction and optionally additional purification steps to obtain a cannabinoid-rich oil, also referred to as an “extract”. [0035] In some variations, the CBD, CBG and THC are provided as a combination of cannabis extracts or isolated from 2-4 cannabis cultivars. In certain variations, the CBD, CBG and THC are provided as a combination of cannabis extracts from genetically identical clones of 3 different cannabis cultivars. In one variation for the foregoing, the 3 different cultivars are a high CBD cultivar, a high CBG cultivar and a high THC cultivar. In some variations, the cannabis cultivars are Cannabis sativa cultivars. [0036] In some variations, when the CBD, CBG and THC are provided as extracts, the compositions provided herein further include terpenes. In certain variations, when the CBD, CBG and THC are provided as extracts, the compositions provided herein further include terpenes and flavonoids. Blended Extracts [0037] In other embodiments, one or more of the CBD, CBG and THC are provided as a blend of the extracts described above in combination with additional CBD, CBG and/or THC obtained from other sources to achieve the particular ratios and amounts of CBD, CBG and THC as described herein. For example, in some variations, the composition comprises CBD, CBG and THC provided as extracts from the cannabis plants, blended with additional CBD provided in a purified form or as an isolate to achieve the ratios and amounts of CBD, CBG and THC as described herein. Purified Forms [0038] In yet other embodiments, one or more of the CBD, CBG and THC are provided in a purified form. Such purified forms of the cannabinoids may be obtained using any suitable methods and techniques known in the art. For example, the extract or blended 9 sf-6205389 776772000640 extracts described above may undergo distillation (e.g., molecular distillation) to remove certain constituents, such as terpenes and lipids, that are non-cannabinoids, and also separate out specific cannabinoids. In some variations, the purified extracts are oils. [0039] In certain variations, the CBD, CBG and THC are a combination of highly purified CBD, highly purified CBG and highly purified THC, wherein each of which are extracted from a cannabis plant and purified to the extent that other cannabinoids and a majority of non-cannabinoid components that are co-extracted with the cannabinoids have been removed. In one variation, the highly purified CBD is greater than or equal to 90% (w/w) pure; the highly purified CBG is greater than or equal to 90% (w/w) pure; and the highly purified THC is greater than or equal to 90% (w/w) pure. Isolates [0040] In some variations, one or more CBD, CBG and THC are provided as isolates. Such isolates may be obtained using any suitable methods and techniques known in the art. For example, the isolates may be obtained by crystallization or precipitation of a purified extract as described above to isolate a specific cannabinoid, followed by filtration to yield a powder that is essentially a pure cannabinoid with excess solvent removed. In some variations the isolates are powders. In one variation, the CBD isolate is greater than or equal to 99% (w/w) pure; the CBG isolate is greater than or equal to 99% (w/w) pure; and the THC isolate is greater than or equal to 99% (w/w) pure. [0041] In certain variations, CBD, CBG and THC are provided a combination of isolates, which may be with or without BDS, extracts or blended extracts. In one variation, the CBD, CBG and THC are provided as a combination of isolates and BDS. Natural vs. Synthetic Sources [0042] In some variations, the CBD, CBG and THC are all naturally derived. In other variations, at least a portion of the CBD, CBG and/or THC is naturally derived, and the other portion is synthetic and/or biosynthetic. Synthetic cannabinoids may include compounds that have a cannabinoid-like structure and are manufactured using chemical processes rather than by the plant. Biosynthetic cannabinoids may include compounds that have a cannabinoid- like structure and are produced using biological processes rather than by the plant. In certain embodiments, at least a portion of CBD present in the composition is prepared synthetically 10 sf-6205389 776772000640 or biosynthetically. In certain embodiments, at least a portion of CBG present in the composition is prepared synthetically or biosynthetically. In certain embodiments, at least a portion of THC present in the composition is prepared synthetically or biosynthetically. [0043] It should be understood that the compositions provided herein may include CBD, CBG and THC provided in a combination of different forms described above. For example, in certain variations, the CBD, CBG and THC are provided in the form of BDS in combination with additional refined or synthetic or biosynthetic CBD, CBG and THC to achieve the ratios and amounts described herein. Lipid Vehicles [0044] In some embodiments, the combination of cannabinoids described herein are formulated in lipid vehicles to yield the compositions, e.g., the drug formulation. In some variations, the compositions herein may further comprise at least one lipid excipient. In certain variations, suitable excipients may include glyceryl monolinoleate. [0045] In some variations, the lipid vehicle comprises a winterized oil composed of long- chain mono-, di-, and triglycerides. In certain variations, the lipid vehicle comprises mono-, di- and triglycerides of mainly linoleic (C18:2) and oleic (C18:1) acids. In one variation of the foregoing, the diester fraction is predominant. [0046] In other embodiments, the lipid vehicle comprises self-emulsifying drug delivery systems.

For example, in some variations, the compositions further comprise at least one fatty acid. In certain variations, the compositions further comprise long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (O-3s). In one variation, the compositions further comprise docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). [0048] In some embodiments, the drug substance compositions comprise (i) CBD, CBG and THC, collectively a major component of the cannabinoids present in the composition, in the ratios and amounts as described herein, (ii) fats and fatty acids, and (iii) terpenes. In certain embodiments, the drug substance consists essentially of (i) CBD, CBG and THC, 11 sf-6205389 776772000640 collectively a major component of the cannabinoids present in the composition, in the ratios and amounts as described herein; (ii) fats and fatty acids; and (iii) terpenes.

For example, in one variation, the composition comprises (i) about 80% cannabinoids in the ratios and amounts as described herein, (ii) about 15% fats and fatty acids, and (iii) about 5% terpenes. In certain variations, the drug substance compositions consist essentially of (i) between 70% and 90% cannabinoids in the ratios and amounts as described herein, (ii) between 10% and 15% fats and fatty acids, and (iii) between 1% and 5% terpenes. [0050] In some embodiments, the drug product compositions comprise (i) CBD, CBG and THC, collectively a major component of the cannabinoids present in the composition, in the ratios and amounts as described herein, (ii) fats and fatty acids, (iii) terpenes, and (iv) at least one lipid, such as a winterized oil composed of long-chain mono-, di-, and triglycerides. In certain embodiments, the drug product compositions consist essentially of (i) CBD, CBG and THC, collectively a major component of the cannabinoids present in the composition, in the ratios and amounts as described herein, (ii) fats and fatty acids; terpenes, (iii) and at least one lipid, such as a winterized oil composed of long-chain mono-, di-, and triglycerides. Preparation Methods [0051] The cannabinoid compositions provided herein may be obtained from combining plant-derived, synthetic and/or biosynthetic CBD, CBG and THC, in order to achieve the appropriate amounts and ratios of these components. [0052] As discussed above, when CBD, CBG and THC are plant-derived, they may be obtained from a cannabis plant. Various methods, techniques and conditions to cultivate, harvest and process cannabis plants are generally known in the art. Further, the resulting cannabis extract may be characterized using methods known in the art. Any suitable processes known in the art may be employed to obtain the CBD, CBG and THC used herein. [0053] For example, bulk plant material is isolated from dried cannabis flower. The bulk plant material is separated from the botanical starting material. The botanical starting 12 sf-6205389 776772000640 materials are weighed and stored in an amber jar. The botanical starting material are added to an extraction vessel with solvent. The solvent is removed via vacuum distillation until only refined cannabis oil is present, with a low solvent concentration. The crude cannabis oil is then heated to for a suitable time to convert the THCA to THC to yield a refined cannabis oil. The main cannabinoids, THCA, CBDA and CBGA are converted to the base molecule THC, CBD and CBG, respectively. [0054] The cannabinoid extracts described above may undergo further purification using methods and techniques known in the art to obtain purified extracts or isolates. The purified extracts are typically in oil form, whereas the isolates are typically in powder form. In some variations, cannabis extracts may undergo distillation to remove certain constituents, such as terpenes and lipids, that are non-cannabinoids, and also separate out specific cannabinoids to yield a purified extract. In other variations, such purified extract may undergo crystallization or precipitation to isolate a specific cannabinoid, followed by filtration to yield a powder that is essentially a pure cannabinoid with excess solvent removed. [0055] The cannabinoid compositions provided herein are pharmaceutical cannabinoid compositions, formulated based on the mode of intended administration. For example, in some embodiments, administration may be ocular, oral, parenteral, topical, etc. In one variation, the cannabinoid composition is formulated for oral administration.
