First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a drug called N-acetyl-L-leucine for people aged 4 and older with CACNA1A gene disorders, which can cause coordination problems, dizziness, and migraines. About 60 participants will receive either the drug or a placebo, then switch, to see if it improves movement and balance. The goal is to find a safe treatment that eases symptoms, not to cure the condition.
