New drug use: Trofinetide appears to ameliorate the features of Rett syndrome, but more data are needed. Investigational drug trofinetide, an insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) analogue, helps relieve problems like anxiety and breathing problems in girls and young women with Rett syndrome, according to unpublished results from a placebo-controlled study. Rett syndrome is caused […]
