14 November 2019 - Anavex Life Sciences today announced that it received the rare paediatric disease designation from the U.S. FDA for Anavex 2-73 (blarcamesine) for the treatment of Rett syndrome, a rare genetic neurological disorder associated with severe physical and cognitive impairments that afflicts mostly girls.
Rett syndrome is a devastating, non-inherited genetic post-natal progressive neurodevelopmental disorder that occurs almost exclusively in girls and leads to severe impairments, affecting nearly every aspect of the child’s life: their ability to speak, walk, eat and easily breathe.
