I've heard about a new medication coming out called Epidiolex. Does anyone know if this will treat partial seizures?

Epidiolex was trialed in kids

Epidiolex was trialed in kids with severe uncontrolled epilepsies - Dravet and Lennox-Gastaut. Not sure how available that drug will be even after FDA approves it (thought that decision is sometime later this month even though it was recommended for approval).
