Intellectual Disability clinical trials at UCSF
3 in progress, 2 open to eligible people
Intellectual disability affects learning and everyday functioning. UCSF is conducting trials on a computer program for cognitive rehabilitation and a registry for Rett syndrome. These studies aim to improve our knowledge of intellectual disabilities.
Intervention Utilizing a Computerized Cognitive Rehabilitation Program (D-kit/EF1)
open to eligible people ages 4-8
The goal of this exploratory clinical trial is to test the effects of the computerized cognitive rehabilitation program (D-kit/EF1) for children with borderline intellectual functioning or mild intellectual disability after its use. Participants will use the D-kit/EF1 program on an iOS device 5 times a week for 30 minutes each session, for a duration of 12 weeks. Researchers will compare treatment group that uses D-kit/EF1 with sham group that watches educational videos on the same iOS device.

Rett Syndrome Registry
open to eligible people ages 0-99
The Rett Syndrome Registry is a longitudinal observational study of individuals with MECP2 mutations and a diagnosis of Rett syndrome. Designed together with the IRSF Rett Syndrome Center of Excellence Network medical directors, this study collects data on the signs and symptoms of Rett syndrome as reported by the Rett syndrome experts and by the caregivers of individuals with Rett syndrome. This study will be used to develop consensus based guidelines for the care of your loved ones with Rett syndrome and to facilitate the development of better clinical trials and other aspects of the drug development path for Rett syndrome.
