NCT ID NCT06315699
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a drug called clomastine fumarate in 28 children aged 3-12 with Williams syndrome, a genetic condition that causes developmental delays. The goal was to see if the drug could improve thinking, movement, and social skills by repairing brain myelin. The study used brain scans and developmental tests to measure effects.
