Clinical Trials Hope Northrup is currently running
PTC923
for Phenylketonuria
This trial is testing the safety of a medication called PTC923 in people with phenylketonuria (PKU). PKU patients need to manage their blood phenylalanine levels carefully. PTC923 aims to help control these levels, making it easier for patients to manage their condition. PTC923 is a newer treatment for PKU, following earlier treatments like sapropterin and pegvaliase.

Sirolimus
for Tuberous Sclerosis
This trial is testing sirolimus, a medication that helps control symptoms of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), in infants. The goal is to prevent or delay seizures, which can impact long-term brain development. Sirolimus works by turning down the activity of a center in the body that doesn't function properly in TSC. Sirolimus has been studied for its potential to control seizures in pediatric patients with TSC and has shown promising results in improving seizure control.
