CDKL5 Voices | April 2023
Additional Location for Biomarker Study!
The ICCRN's clinical trials readiness work includes a biomarker study that examines evoked potentials using a painless cap system placed on the head. They have been collecting this information from patients at three CDKL5 Center of Excellence sites (Boston, Philadelphia, and Denver) and now they are able to enroll patients in this biomarker study at the Texas CDKL5 Center of Excellence as well!
Grab your popcorn and settle in for a short video update and live Q&A about the ICCRN's NIH-NINDS funded UO1 study "Multi-site validation of biomarkers and core clinical outcome measures for clinical trial readiness in CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder."
You'll hear an update from the study's Principal Investigators about the initial phase: "1 of 200"
And you'll learn more about the longitudinal phase of the study (enrolling now!)
