Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 45 years (ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Aged ≥ 18 years, inclusive.
  • Diagnosis of classic RTT, according to 2010 criteria (Neul et al., 2010), and a MECP2 mutation.
  • Current pharmacological treatment regimen, including supplements, has been stable for at least 4 weeks.
  • If on antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), 1-4 AEDs allowed. Treatment must be stable (drug, dose, interval of administration) for 30 days prior to enrollment.
  • Ability to keep accurate seizure diaries or have caregiver who can keep accurate seizure diaries.
  • Confirmation from the participant that, if of childbearing potential is not pregnant through urine pregnancy testing. Female patients of childbearing potential and at risk for pregnancy must agree to abstinence.
  • Prior to the conduct of study-specific procedures, the subject's parent/caregiver/LAR must provide written informed consent. If applicable, the research team must attempt to obtain consent from both parents.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who have a progressive medical or neurological condition that in the opinion of the Investigator would interfere with the conduct of the study.
  • Current clinically significant systemic illness that is likely to result in deterioration of the patient's condition or affect the patient's safety during the study.
  • History of clinically evident stroke or clinically significant carotid or vertebrobasilar stenosis or plaque or other history of neurologic (e.g., head trauma with loss of consciousness) or psychiatric condition that the Investigator deems may interfere with interpretability of data.
  • Indication of liver disease, defined by serum levels of ALT (SGPT), AST (SGOT), or alkaline phosphatase above 3x upper limit of normal (ULN) as determined during screening.
  • Treatment with immunosuppressive medications (e.g., systemic corticosteroids) within the last 90 days (topical and nasal corticosteroids and inhaled corticosteroids for asthma are permitted) or chemotherapeutic agents for malignancy within the last 3 years.
  • Other clinically significant abnormality on physical, neurological, laboratory, or electrocardiogram (ECG) examination (e.g., atrial fibrillation) that could compromise the study or be detrimental to the participant.
  • Any known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients contained in the study drug or placebo formulation.
  • Other co-morbid or chronic illness beyond that known to be associated with RTT.
  • Subjects who plan to initiate or change pharmacologic or nonpharmacologic intervention during the course of the study.
  • Subjects on potent CYP 3A4 and CYP2C19 inhibitors and inducers.
  • Subjects taking another investigational drug currently or within the last 30 days.
  • Any other criteria (such as a clinically significant screening blood test result), which in the opinion of the Investigator could interfere with the study conduct or outcome.
  • Patients with hepatic and renal impairment.
