Introduction
In this talk, we will be discussing the OV101 clinical trial conducted by Ovid Therapeutics. The trial focuses on the use of Gaboxadol, a compound that has shown potential in treating Angelman Syndrome. We will provide an overview of the trial, including its design, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and how to find more information about participating.
OV101 Clinical Trial
The OV101 clinical trial is a Phase 2 study conducted by Ovid Therapeutics. The trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Gaboxadol in adults with Angelman Syndrome. Gaboxadol is a compound that has previously been studied in adults with insomnia and has shown a good safety profile.
The trial is randomized and double-blind, meaning that participants are assigned to one of three treatment arms (two active doses and one placebo) by chance, and neither the participants nor the investigators know which treatment they are receiving. The trial lasts for 12 weeks, with regular visits and phone calls to monitor progress.
Efficacy Measures
The trial measures various efficacy markers, including gait and balance, motor activity, sleep parameters, behavior, and health-related quality of life. These measures are designed to assess the potential impact of Gaboxadol on the symptoms of Angelman Syndrome.
Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria
To participate in the trial, individuals must be between 18 and 49 years old and have a molecular confirmation of Angelman Syndrome. They must also be on stable doses of medications and be able to swallow the study drug. Informed consent from a legally authorized representative is required.
Participating Sites
The trial is being conducted at 15 sites across the United States, with plans to open a site in Israel in the future. The sites are listed on the Ovid Therapeutics website, and individuals can choose the site closest to them when enrolling in the trial.
