Rett Syndrome
Conditions
Brief summary
This is an exploratory, Phase 2, multicenter, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of oral treatment with VYNT-0126 in female subjects 18-45 years of age with Rett syndrome.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Females age 18-45 (inclusive) * Diagnosis of classic/typical Rett syndrome with a documented mutation of the MeCP2 gene * Severity rating of between 10 and 36 (Rett Syndrome Natural History/Clinical Severity Scale) * Concomitant medications (including approved medications for treatment of Rett syndrome) must be stable for \>4 weeks prior to enrollment * Able to receive liquid study drug orally or via gastrostomy tube (G-tube)
Exclusion criteria
* Actively undergoing neurological regression; * Abnormal QT interval, prolongation or significant cardiovascular history * Excluded concomitant medications * Current clinically significant (as determined by the investigator). cardiovascular, endocrine, hepatic, renal, or respiratory disease * Gastrointestinal disease which may interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of the study medication * History of, or current cerebrovascular disease or brain trauma * History of, or current, malignancy * Clinically significant abnormalities in safety laboratory tests, vital signs, or ECG, as measured at screening or baseline * Any condition which in the investigator's opinion would affect the ability of the subject to participate in the study * Allergy to VYNT-0126 or any ingredients of the liquid formulation
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Adverse Events | Through study completion, approximately 14 weeks | Incidence of adverse events (AEs), including serious adverse events (SAEs), will be compared across the two VYNT-0126 doses and placebo. SAEs and AEs will be examined throughout the study. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change from Baseline in the Rett Syndrome Behavioral Questionnaire (RSBQ) | Obtained at baseline, end of dose titration, and end of treatment (approximately 14 weeks). |
| Change from Baseline in the 24-Item Motor-Behavioral Assessment (MBA) | Obtained at baseline, end of dose titration, and end of treatment (approximately 14 weeks). |
| Change from Baseline in Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) | Obtained at baseline, end of dose titration, and end of treatment (approximately 14 weeks). |
| Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) | Obtained at the end of dose titration and end of treatment (approximately 14 weeks). |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Quantitative Electroencephalograms (EEGs) | Obtained at baseline, end of dose titration, and end of treatment (approximately 14 weeks). | Quantitative EEGs will be explored as potential biomarkers of intervention effects on brain function and clinical severity. |
| Electrophysiological Evoked Potentials | Obtained at baseline, end of dose titration, and end of treatment (approximately 14 weeks). | Evoked potential following auditory and visual stimuli will be explored as potential biomarkers of intervention effects on brain function and clinical severity. |
