Information about current UK clinical trials can be found below. We look forward to clinical trials to come, which will include trials of gene therapies that we hope will treat the underlying cause of Rett Syndrome. You can find information about all current clinical trials for Rett Syndrome worldwide at the searchable website clinicaltrials.gov website.
Reverse Rett is currently supporting the Anavex 2-73 clinical trial by recruiting patients from the UK Rett Syndrome Patient Registry, conducting pre-screening and making referrals to trial sites, making travel/accommodation arrangements for families attending study visits.
The Anavex trial is currently only open in the UK to patients over the age of 18 at trial sites at CIPP Rett Centre, King’s College Hospital in London and Manchester Royal Infirmary/Manchester Clinical Research Facility. For more information about this clinical trial, please contact andy@reverserett.org.uk
