    Latest is from Canada, where they look at the impact of SYNGAP1 on auditory cortex function, social behavior and ability to extinguish fear memories.

    First Principles

    Genetic disease means that gene broken since conception.Novel medicines are possible ways to fix the gene - Genetic Therapies (ASO &/or AAV), this is recent, before now, kids with these diseases were a “go home and love them” situation.These are delivered via spinal tap or directly to the brain in leading medical centers.First though, regulators must approve.

    Our job

    Develop medicines or get industry to - This is happening see PipelineGet regulators to approve trialsGet medical centers up to speed on SYNGAP1-Related Disorders (SRD)

    What we are building on

    CHOP ENDD funded externally (see #S10e92) and replicating what was built for STXBP1, check last week’s webinar https://curesyngap1.org/resources/webinars/93-endd-chop-2024-syngap1/Rare-X platform for PRO collectionRegulatory pathway being made clearer every day by Stoke (Dravet), Praxis (SCN2A), Ionis (many) all of whom are working on SYNGAP1 as well.

    What we are asking for

    We need to raise at least $500k (3rd site), preferably $1.13M (ProMMiS)Make your largest gift ever to SRFFundraise with friends and familyACES is now ProMMiS, who knew ACE meant Adverse Childhood Event, not us.

    Key slides: S1 Path to Treatment | 2024 (09.27.24)

    1. Why Now? Why is it time to go from bench to bedside (research to clinical)?At least 10 companies on our pipeline not to mention multiple small molecule effortsWe have limited resources – so the focus has to transition, clinical funding first.CHOP Gift is 1 year down…2. Why NHS?Understand SYNGAP1 better, go beyond Vlaskamp 2019 and Wiltrout 2024, see #S10e105 FYI at CHOP, as I shared in #S10e151, at year 1, we are at – 86 (Visits) + 10 (new scheduled) + 19 (2nd) + 4 (3rd) + 22 (follow up) Learn what to measure in clinical trials for SRD, remember our seizures are challengingIdeally we develop a Synthetic Control Arm if we use GCPWhy top shelf? We need institutions the FDA will take seriously and our children are very complex requiring experienced clinicians. 3. Why Multidisciplinary.Neuro, Psych, Genetics, PT, ST, OT, GI, Sleep, ENT, Ortho.Beyond the sheer burden of getting our kids out and about for multiple appointments the coordination by a parent is almost impossible.4. Why Multisite/3 sites?Replicable/scalable required by regulatorsAccessibility (not primary reason)Establish more locations where trials will be managedLaying a foundation for a national self-sustaining network3 is the minimum, look at STARR or Angelman, both had/ve 4.5. How and why so fast?Because we can. Time is Brain.Following a well trodden pathSMA, Rett, Angelman, Dravet, but we are moving FASTER.6. Does the industry really care?We are next there are so so many behind us, eager to take the resources we have access to today.Market size (Per our Census 425 US/1500 global is tip of iceberg)Multiple players reassuring each otherRelatively strong amount of scientific and clinical researchHaploinsufficiency (like Dravet – STOKE) – so relatively easy7. Expensive?No. Clinical Research is more expensive than basic scientific research.Leveraging CHOP and Rare-X, setting up required networks to prepare for clinical trials. It’s time.8. Why Bother/Help?Now is the time for SYNGAP1, we miss it at our peril.Sure, once in these places we will still see our patients, but the study, the support and the focus may pass.Our kids don’t die, regardless of patient age, what we are doing can change their future and that of their loved ones and caregivers.If not us, then who? It is a rare exception when a non-family member gives a gift, and it is always because a family member asked. We must ask.9. What can I do?Donate to, share, join our Coast2Coast Clinics Challenge – two SYNGAP1 Squads in West and East – it’s critical$500k goal by end of 2024; more than $1M needed just for the SYNGAP1ProMMiS. So far, donations from $25 to $25,000 – each and every contribution matters.This requires our entire S1 network to solicit family, friends, work colleagues, companies, etc. to contribute. Many causes out there – why not ours?Syngap.Fund/C2C

    Will not collect for biobank!

    Top 5 from Abbott webinar:

    Colorado seeing less patients than CHOP, but could see more if the interest raises. Wherever you are, get to a site. The more data you have, the more industry interest. This is a partnership between CHOP & CHCO. Data will be shared across all sites. Very good for SYNGAP1 research.Model successful with other rares, ie CDKL5 and STXBP1.Visit info: CHCO visits are split over 2 days. Visits will include behavioral support with neuropsych. Multidiciplinary clinic space itself is really nice and well-planned.SRF board approved travel reimbursement.

    Dinner on Saturday, talk to Lauren

    This write is a bit incomplete as it just says 5-HT2, which is a just receptor family:

    5-HT2A

    5-HT2B - this the receptor linked to cardiac. Fenfluramine, a nonselective serotonin-releasing agent, its adverse effects were linked to activating this receptor

    5-HT2C - bexicasarin selectively activates this.

    Prevalence:

    They are easily missed. The math is clear. Lots of data. 1% of ID = 35k+

    1/100k at 3.6m in 2023 = 36 a year, minimum with PTV.

    5/100k = 180. A YEAR.

    Caren is 65.

    36 x 65 = 2,340 PTVs vs 400 SRF knows about)

    - Last week I was at Milken Global. All diseases are talking about biomarkers & endpoints. https://milkeninstitute.org/events/global-conference-2024/program

    - This week I was at the #Ultragenyx Bootcamp with our CSO

    https://www.ultragenyx.com/video-this-bootcamp-helps-parents-advance-rare-disease-research/ So good to see Kathryn energized by this role.

    Repurposed therapies are just as important.

    Cost effective. Globally available.They are here now. We must act, the suffering is immense.They show us what is improvable and therefore inform clinical trial design.They are not compromising other trials. And to even suggest that is unethical if it suggests people should hold off on helping patients. How about we just diagnose more kids? Or think harder about which kids go to which trials?Precision Genetic Therapies are going to be more effective than repurposed drugs, people will happily participate in trials.

    Review of repurposed drugs:

    RAVICTI Rx- 10+ patients with Dr. Grinspan, not all but a few have had significant seizure reduction. I remain worried about cost and look to STXBP1 and SLC6A1 for guidance here.

    NORTRIPTYLINE Rx - Has helped me, a handful of families are getting a Rx. I am hopeful that some researcher does an investigator led trial. But until then, ask your Neuro.

    ACETYL-LEUCINE is a Nutraceutical - Update 1 has really been noticed and Update 2 will share a few potential mechanisms of action. Many are trying this drug from https://bit.ly/tanganil24 Encouraging… no, updating. Please share data with us if you are trying. We are collecting case studies for Update 3. Thank you to the team here.

    It takes a village.

    We need to support efforts to help our kids and accept that the system will always fall short, the need for a strong SRF will only grow. The more we unify, the faster it grows.

    v2 now we add Improve Clinical Care (NHS Expansion & Repurposing) - Build a sustainable organization.

    We wrote a blog, but as I’ve had this conversation a few dozen times, my answer is simpler now. Is it missense or is it truncating? If missense, do more research, if truncating, it is in the first 4 exons (p. Address of 129 or lower).

    Who else has it? Look on ClinVar and call SRF.

    The intersection of biomarkers and repurposing: The latter could help us figure out which of the former to focus on which could be the difference between a drug making it.

    Repurposing:

    Friend message - “And I wanted to tell you about the worsening behavior with treatments: a friend of mine has a son with Dravet syndrome, and many years ago they started him on a drug that reduced the seizures quite a bit, and my friend used to say “with this new treatment cleaning his brain from all those EEG interferences, we are starting to see more of his personality… and we’ve realized that we don’t like him”. Very harsh but very real to say”
