New hope for halting rare brain disease

NCT ID NCT05662111

Summary

This study is testing whether a drug called etidronate can slow down or stop the buildup of harmful calcium deposits in the brains of people with Fahr's disease or syndrome. It will enroll 98 adults with the condition to see if the drug improves thinking, movement, and daily life over 18 months. This is the first controlled trial for a disease that currently has no treatments to stop its progression.
