Brief Summary
The primary goal of this Phase 2 clinical trial is to determine the effects of a selective negative allosteric modulator (NAM) of GABAA α5 receptor, Basmisanil (NTX-1511), on brain wave (EEG) characteristics in children and adolescents with Dup15q syndrome. The main questions this trial aims to answer are:
- How does NTX-1511 affect brain waves (as measured by EEG) in subjects with Dup15q syndrome?
- Does NTX-1511 impact other developmental features of subjects with Dup15q syndrome? Researchers will compare the effects of NTX-1511 with matching placebo (look-alike granules that contain no drug). Participants will:
- Take NTX-1511 or matching placebo 3 times every day for 12 weeks
- Visit the clinic 7 times over the course of 23 weeks
