NCT ID NCT04041713
First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether an antioxidant cocktail called Rett-T can improve motor function in children and adolescents with Rett syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects movement and coordination. Participants, aged 2 to 21 and at least partially able to walk, will receive either Rett-T or a placebo. The trial measures changes in motor skills and explores biological markers of safety and response.
