What is the SYNAPSE-CMT Clinical Trial?
CMTA-STAR Alliance Partner NMD Pharma has recently started screening and enrolling patients in the SYNAPSE-CMT Phase II trial. This trial aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and potential effectiveness of an investigational medication, NMD670.
NMD670 is a novel medication that works by enhancing communication between nerves and muscles, a common issue for people living with CMT. The hope is that this treatment will improve your strength, endurance, and overall daily functioning. By joining the study, you’ll play a critical role in determining whether this therapy could help others with CMT in the future.
Why Participate in the SYNAPSE-CMT Clinical Trial?
By participating, you contribute to critical research that could pave the way for new therapies for CMT. Participants will receive all study-related evaluations, medications, and supplies at no cost. Reasonable travel expenses will be reimbursed, and you will play a direct role in advancing potential treatments for the CMT community.
Who Can Participate?
If you are between the ages of 18-70 and have been diagnosed with CMT1 or CMT2, you are able to complete basic walking tests without the assistance of ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs), you may qualify. During the study, you’ll either receive NMD670 or a placebo over a 21-day period, with regular assessments to monitor your progress.
