Summary

"This trial aims to see if GTX-102 can improve thinking and memory in people with Angelman Syndrome."

This trial is for children with Angelman Syndrome who can walk (with or without help) and have a specific genetic deletion. They must be able to handle anesthesia without needing a breathing tube, follow the study plan, and their blood clotting tests should be close to normal. Sexually active participants must use effective birth control.
What is being tested?
