NCT ID NCT07197268

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests a custom-made drug called an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) designed specifically for one person with Bainbridge-Ropers syndrome, a rare genetic condition that causes developmental delays. The drug aims to correct the effects of a specific ASXL3 gene mutation. The main goals are to check if the drug is safe and to see if it improves motor skills over two years.
