AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Females who are between the ages of ≥4 and ≤10 years for Arms 1 and 2 (Arms closed). Females who are ≥11 years of age or older for Arm 3 (Arm closed). Females who are ≥3 for Arm 4, the pivotal cohort.
* Diagnosis of typical Rett syndrome with a documented disease-causing mutation in the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene
* Current anti-epileptic drug regimen has been stable for at least 12 weeks
* Participant must be in the post-regression stage
* Participant and caregiver should reside within a 2-hour drive of the study center for at least 3 months following treatment
* Participant must have never taken trofinetide or have taken trofinetide and discontinued due to tolerability, lack of efficacy, or other reasons. Following NGN-401 dosing, trofinetide may be initiated after a specified time period and with the support of the treating clinician.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Normal or near normal hand function
* Has a current clinically significant condition other than Rett syndrome
* Presence of a concomitant medical condition that precludes intracerebroventricular administration, or use of anesthetics or immune suppression needed for study related procedures
Other inclusion and exclusion criteria apply.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
