Cannabis extract shows promise for rare genetic disorder in new trial

NCT ID NCT07257978

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a cannabis plant extract called NTI164, which has very low THC (the compound that causes a high), in 40 females aged 4-25 with Rett syndrome, a rare genetic condition causing severe physical and mental challenges. Participants will receive either NTI164 or a placebo, then switch after a period, to see if the treatment safely reduces symptoms like anxiety, breathing problems, and trouble communicating. The goal is to improve daily life, not to cure the condition.
