Sunday, September 6, 2026 — Week 36 🛑 If you're reading this on social media, these show notes are going to get cut off. Please go to the podcast homepage and click on episode 217 to get the full show notes. https://curesyngap1.org/podcasts/syngap10 ALEXANDER DISEASE On September 3, the FDA approved ZANVASTRO — zilganersen — from Ionis (IONS) for Alexander disease. It is the first FDA-approved treatment for Alexander disease and the first therapy to directly target the underlying protein buildup driving the disease. Alexander disease is caused by mutations in GFAP. Zilganersen reduces production of abnormal GFAP protein. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-drug-treat-alexander-disease ANGELMAN — ULTRAGENYX ASPIRE FAILS On September 2, Ultragenyx (RARE) announced results from its Phase 3 Aspire trial of apazunersen, formerly GTX-102, for Angelman syndrome. The trial failed its primary endpoint — change from baseline in Bayley-4 cognitive raw score. It also failed its key secondary endpoint — the Multidomain Responder Index, or MDRI. And there were no differences between the treated and control groups supporting efficacy in Bayley cognition, the MDRI, or any of the five individual domains that make up the MDRI. https://ir.ultragenyx.com/news-releases/news-release-details/ultragenyx-announces-phase-3-aspire-results-angelman-syndrome WHAT HAPPENED? Financial analyst take on the failure was brutal: “A complete double miss, with no data to argue about.” But this does not conclude that the underlying Angelman ASO strategy has been disproven. Broader read-through: “We think the mechanism still works, and the constraint was dose.” GTX-102 had a history of transient lower-extremity weakness. OAK HILL BIO (RACC) BASICALLY CALLED IT (Good to have multiple shots on goal.) Look at slides 10 and 11 of Oak Hill Bio's July investor presentation filed with the SEC. Oak Hill had already been making the case that the Angelman ASOs are not interchangeable. On slide 10, Oak Hill presents primate data showing nearly full restoration of paternal UBE3A production after a single dose of rugonersen, versus a much more modest reported effect from GTX-102. Importantly, Oak Hill itself notes that this was not a head-to-head study. Then look at slide 11. Oak Hill presents data claiming rugonersen is 20–100 times more potent at inducing UBE3A protein than the other Phase 3 Angelman ASOs. And its description of the Ultragenyx molecule is remarkably direct: “GTX-102 was dose limited.” These are Oak Hill's claims and company-presented preclinical data — but they made this argument before Aspire failed. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2118032/000119312526316954/d101725dex992.htm THIS IS WHY PHASE 3 MATTERS Ultragenyx had encouraging earlier-stage data. Families appeared to be seeing improvements. Investigators saw improvements. The company saw improvements. Then came a randomized, sham-controlled Phase 3 trial. And it did not confirm efficacy. That is an important lesson for all of us in rare disease drug development: Phase 1/2 data are not Phase 3 data. THE NEW YORK TIMES — GETTING TO A CLINICAL TRIAL IS HARD There was also a New York Times piece this week that I think everyone following drug development should read. How extraordinarily difficult it has become to actually run clinical trials and get experimental medicines into patients. That means companies are looking outside the United States for places where trials can move more efficiently. CAMP4 has regulatory clearance to begin its first-in-human SYNGAP1 trial in Australia and Argentina. That's not an accident. The geography of clinical drug development is changing. The New York Times article is largely looking at this through the lens of cancer drug development today — but rare genetic disease is confronting the same challenges. Cancer today → rare genetic disease tomorrow. — read this article. NEW YORK TIMES — GIFT LINK: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/04/opinion/clinical-trials-drugs-science.html?unlocked_article_code=1.-lA.gxCw.n2L6DEBVdtFd&smid=nytcore-ios-share ANGELMAN COMMUNITY IS A MODEL One more thing. A failed Phase 3 trial is devastating for a patient community.

Tony with us for a week after five months away… Way less screen addicted More independent Chubby - Less exercise, worse food Depressed Adam’s Camp was great as usual The support model was striking: the camper-to-therapist ratio was close to one-to-one, with skilled professionals in speech, occupational, physical, and behavioral therapy. SYNGAP1 Connection at Camp! This was Tony’s fifth consecutive year at https://adamscamp.org/. That continuity made a difference. The Adam’s Camp team knew Tony well, and he was a known quantity to them. The team did a fabulous job. Even though Tony can be challenging at this age, and is bigger and sometimes aggressive, everything went smoothly at camp. More time in Denver. We visited Dr. Abbott at CHOC. For families looking for pediatric dental support in Denver, see Dr. Z at https://www.lakesidekidsdentistry.com/. Who will also start seeing kids at https://www.childrenscolorado.org/doctors-and-departments/departments/dental/ The hard parts There were still a couple of moments of aggression within our family. I do not want to pretend those moments disappeared; there is more work to do. The harder news came after Tony returned to school. His unhappiness about being there has increased after being with family, and it feels as though aggression may be moving in the wrong direction again. We are told this kind of transition is common for kids at his school, but that does not make the incident reports any less heartbreaking. Bringing him back was heartbreaking. Lorazepam. Open Questions What stayed with me is how well Tony did with people who knew him and a deeply skilled team supporting him. At his residential program, he also receives remarkable support. But at the end of the school year, he is expected to come home, and we are expected to recreate enough of that support with ABA and whatever additional help we can find. I do not have a neat conclusion. I am trying to understand what is best for Tony, what is best for John, and what is best for our whole family. I am sharing these questions because I suspect many families carry versions of them too.
