To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ZYN002 administered as a transdermal gel formulation, for up to 38 weeks, in patients ages 4 to \< 18 years, in the treatment of 22q.11.2 Deletion Syndrome (22qDS).
This is an open-label study to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of cannabidiol (CBD) administered as ZYN002, a transdermal gel, for the treatment of child and adolescent patients with 22qDS. Male and female patients with 22qDS will be treated in Period 1 for 14 weeks. Patients that meet study criteria will be allowed to continue to Period 2 for an additional 24 weeks of treatment. At the end of study, patients taking antiepileptic drug (AED) medication(s) will have an additional one or two week Taper Period. Approximately 20 male and female patients, ages 4 to \< 18 years, will receive ZYN002.

Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (safety and tolerability)
Safety assessment will include collection of any treatment-emergent adverse events (safety and tolerability).
Time frame: Adverse Event time frame is from admission to a study completion, an average of 9 months
Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC-C) Pre-specified Subscale 1
ABC-C is a standard parent/caregiver reported behavioral outcome measure for use in developmental disability clinical trials.
Time frame: Screening, Visit 2, Visit 3, Visit 4, Visit 5, Visit 6, and Visit 7 EOS/ET, over a 38 week period
Clinical Global Impression-Severity and Improvement (CGI-S and CGI-I)
CGI-S is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the patient's illness at the time of assessment, relative to the clinician's past experience with patients who have the same diagnosis. CGI-I is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to assess how much the patient's illness has improved or worsened relative to a Baseline state at the beginning of the intervention and rated as: 1 - very much improved; 2 - much improved; 3 - minimally improved; 4 - no change; 5 - minimally worse; 6 - much worse; or 7 - very much worse.
Time frame: CGI-S is collected at Screening, Visit 2, Visit 3, Visit 4, Visit 5, Visit 6, and Visit 7 EOS/ET, over a 38 week period and CGI-I will be assessed at Visit 3 and Visit 4/EOS/ET, over 14 week period
Anxiety, Depression and Mood Scale (ADAMS)
The ADAMS is comprised of 28 items, which are rated on a scale of "0 - not a problem" to "3 - severe problem." The ADAMS yields a total score as well as five subscale scores: "Manic/Hyperactive Behavior," "Depressed Mood," "Social Avoidance," "General Anxiety," and "Compulsive Behavior."
Time frame: Screening, Visit 2, Visit 3, Visit 4, Visit 5, Visit 6, and Visit 7 EOS/ET, over a 38 week period

Qualitative Caregiver Reported Behavioral Problems Survey
The parent/caregiver will be asked the following question "What are the three behavioral, emotional, or social problems that most impacted your son/daughter and his/her family in approximately the past year?" At each study visit the parent/caregiver will be reminded of their responses from the Screening Visit in order to rate the three questions for improvement or worsening.
Time frame: Visit 3, Visit 4, Visit 5, Visit 6, and Visit 7 EOS/ET, over a 38 week period
Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale-Revised (PARS-R)
