Trials for AS Patients
Behavioural Intervention
Virtual Therapy for Developmental Disabilities
This trial tests a virtual therapy program to help people with intellectual and developmental disorders better communicate and manage their behavior. Participants will do assessments and have weekly or biweekly virtual visits with a therapist.
GABA Receptor Agonist
Alogabat for Angelman Syndrome
This trial tests Alogabat, a medication, to see if it can help children aged 5-17 with deletion Angelman Syndrome. Researchers will give the medication daily and check for improvements in brain activity over a few months.
Antisense Oligonucleotide
ION582 for Angelman Syndrome
This trial is testing a drug called ION582, given directly into the spinal fluid, to see if it is safe for people with Angelman syndrome. The study will check how well patients tolerate different doses of the drug.
RO7248824 for Angelman Syndrome
This trial is a study to test a new drug for safety, tolerability, and how well it works. The study will enroll two groups of children, those aged 5-12 and those aged 1-4, and will test different doses of the drug in each group.

Frequently Asked Questions
Introduction to angelman syndrome
What are the top hospitals conducting angelman syndrome research?
In the realm of clinical trials focused on Angelman syndrome, several prominent hospitals are making significant strides in research and treatment. At Rush Medical Center in Chicago, Columbia University Medical Center in New york, Carolina Institute for Development Disabilities at the University of North carolina/School of Medicine in Carrboro, Rush University Medical Center also located in Chicago, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, researchers are actively engaged in exploring this rare genetic disorder. Each hospital currently has one active trial dedicated to Angelman syndrome. While their numbers may seem modest with only two completed trials each thus far (except for UNC Chapel Hill with one), it is important to note that these endeavors mark a pivotal moment as they have all recorded their first-ever Angelman syndrome trials within recent years: 2020 or 2021.
Angelman syndrome is a complex neurological condition characterized by developmental delays, intellectual disability, severe speech impairment, and a distinctive happy demeanor that includes frequent laughter and smiling. It affects approximately 1 in every 12-20 thousand live births globally. The collaboration between medical professionals across different locations showcases not only their commitment to understanding and treating this challenging condition but also serves as an example of how collective efforts can advance scientific knowledge and improve patient outcomes.
The ongoing research being conducted by these renowned hospitals brings hope to individuals affected by Angelman syndrome and their families worldwide. By pushing boundaries through cutting-edge trials, scientists aim to unlock potential therapies that could alleviate symptoms associated with this rare disorder while unraveling the underlying mechanisms behind its manifestation. Through international collaboration alongside dedicated patients and caregivers who participate in these studies—the true heroes driving progress—we move closer towards transforming lives impacted by Angelman syndrome for generations to come.
Which are the best cities for angelman syndrome clinical trials?
The best cities for Angelman syndrome clinical trials include Chicago, Illinois and Carrboro, North carolina, both with 2 active trials focused on Part 1 Optional Cohort and ION582. Additionally, New york City in New York has 1 ongoing trial investigating the Part 1 Optional Cohort, while Boston in Massachusetts and Houston in Texas each have 1 trial studying ION582. These cities offer individuals affected by Angelman Syndrome opportunities to participate in cutting-edge research aimed at advancing understanding and potential treatments for this rare genetic disorder.
Which are the top treatments for angelman syndrome being explored in clinical trials?
Clinical trials exploring treatments for Angelman syndrome have identified two promising options. Leading the way is ION582, currently in one active trial dedicated to this condition. Introduced in 2021, it offers hope for potential breakthroughs in managing Angelman syndrome symptoms. Another contender is GTX-102, which entered the scene in 2020 and is also being tested in one ongoing clinical trial specifically targeting Angelman syndrome. These innovative treatment avenues hold promise as researchers strive to enhance the quality of life for individuals affected by this complex neurological disorder.
What are the most recent clinical trials for angelman syndrome?
Exciting advancements are being made in the realm of angelman syndrome research, with recent clinical trials offering hope for improved treatments. Notably, Phase 2 of a trial focusing on an optional cohort has become available, providing an opportunity to further explore potential therapeutic options. Additionally, another trial involving ION582 has progressed to both Phase 1 and Phase 2 stages, showcasing its promising prospects as a treatment for angelman syndrome. Furthermore, GTX-102 is under investigation in a combined Phases 1 and 2 study that commenced in February 2020. These ongoing trials represent significant strides towards enhancing the understanding and management of angelman syndrome and bring optimism to those affected by this condition.
