A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Cross-over Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Oral Ketamine for Patients With Rett Syndrome
This 4 cohort, sequential, ascending dose study will assess the safety, tolerability and
efficacy of oral ketamine dosed in a single 5-day BID regimen in addition to placebo, in a
4-week cross-over design in patients with Rett Syndrome. Approximately 12 patients per cohort
and up to approximately 48 patients in total are anticipated to participate for approximately
8-10 weeks at approximately 7 US study centers.

and up to approximately 48 patients in total are anticipated to participate for approximately
8-10 weeks at approximately 7 US study centers.
This study is designed to assess oral ketamine for the treatment of Rett Syndrome and
consists of up to 4 ascending dose cohorts, each assessing 1 dose level of ketamine vs
placebo. Patients will receive in either order, a 5-day BID regimen of both placebo and the
cohort-specified dose level of oral ketamine. Patients may only participate in 1 cohort.
Safety and tolerability will be assessed via patient disposition, vital signs, physical
examination, adverse events and concomitant medication use. Efficacy will be assessed via
physician and caregiver questionnaires and assessments, and continuous, wearable, at-home
biosensor data collection. An independent safety committee will review safety data from each
cohort to determine if the subsequent ascending dose cohort is warranted. A total of 12
patients per cohort and up to 48 patients in total is anticipated at approximately 7 sites.
The screening period will last between 2 and 4 weeks, the cross-over treatment period will
last 4 weeks, and the safety follow-up period will last 2 weeks. Total patient participation
is approximately 8-10 weeks.
