We look forward to clinical trials to come, which will include trials of therapies that we hope will treat the underlying cause of Rett Syndrome. You can find information about all current clinical trials for Rett Syndrome at the searchable clinicaltrials.gov website.
Reverse Rett are currently supporting the first UK clinical trial for a potential treatment for Rett Syndrome, the Sarizotan Clinical Trial (STARS) which is taking place at King’s College Hospital in London, under the leadership of Professor Paramala Santosh. The STARS study is sponsored by Newron Pharmaceuticals. Reverse Rett are supporting the study by: – Funding a Full-Time Clinical Trials Coordinator based at the Trial site – Recruiting patients from the UK Rett Syndrome Patient Registry – Conducting pre-screening and making referrals to the trial site – Making travel/accommodation arrangements for families on study visits The STARS study is a multi-centre, international clinical trial. If you have a child with Rett who has breathing irregularities in this age group and you have not yet registered them on the UK Rett Syndrome Patient Registry at Reverse Rett, please register today.
