    SYNGAP1 & Unmet NeedPreface Let’s separate the notion of symptoms and disease description with lived caregiver and patient experience. When you do this, charts about seizure progression and symptom list lose their sterile veneer and become horror stories. This is critical because clinicians have become desensitized to patients' complaints and SYNGAP1 caregivers are tired of trying to explain to people how this disease hits you.SRD is slow moving, but suddenly changing and completely enervating.Medical: Existing treatments/polypharmacy is woefully inadequate & worsens as patients age: Unrelenting intractable and worsening seizures cause side effects and require constant vigilance and partnership with NeurosMedication changes can cause issues such at rageLong-term side effects, e.g., bone health issues, from chronic medication useDrug-drug interactions (DDIs) are rarely addressed despite complex prescriptions from multiple specialists (Neuro, Psych, Primary, supplements, etc.)Some go to challenging non-pharma options: Not to mention tube feeding, keto diet, and neuro surgical options like VNS/CC as well as hip surgery for severe gait.Behavioral & ID: Our kids have enough physical ability to make behavior very challenging:Pain and behavior compounded by being non-verbal as they grow Violence against family—bites and scratches Violence against self, just sheer frustrationElopement & no sense of danger as a constant stress/burden ABA can be helpful if the team is high caliber but often fails due to staffing, rigidity, insurance or lack of skill.Family: Toll on caregivers & family is a heavy cost that is rarely counted: Almost all of our kids have severely disrupted sleep and that is a form of torture for the whole family. Exhaustion from the diagnostic journey, assessments, and caregiving.Marriages fall apart under the pressure.Nobody can care for our kids—no respite, no support, schools fail. Parents are afraid to die, fearing what will happen to their children.Siblings are the last to be noticed but first affected.

    Emphasize: The patients are very complex, the system isn’t working, families are in crisis, and they need real solutions.

    Parents will travel: We’ve had 100 patients go to CHOP from all over the USA, no cure here, just expertise.Example: the day I wrote this presentation I saw these 4 Facebook posts: VHM at CHOP https://www.facebook.com/virginie.herradormcnamar/posts/pfbid02NbqkEsH84XtaoNc8qma5LsPEsC16NVGmzgq6fXRb3opP4rGJjP2WjGkMUGhbBTjplB at CHCO https://www.facebook.com/beata.tarasiuk.56/posts/pfbid0YJ4AxBuxtzoeqHyHHtwP5tLR8jGgRjxzxkJ CB at WCMC https://www.facebook.com/corey.baysden/posts/pfbid0c7RZtzm8hsB3k5mTGpmiXhaq7xzL9vLptfVn5FYZ8ZcFEuxqiYETHss7eUxpwo8BlRR at UCSF https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid02JvfR1G33tAg9XRZVXMidstcZYcEjzrqFeutvepYoPVb1RbjTEF1QCJj4kbDdScKQl&id=100088305909698

  • Please give my video a watch and SAVE MEDICAID! Do it as if your child's life depends on it. I want to emphasize the importance of the current moment regarding Medicaid, not to alarm you, but to underscore the urgency of the situation. This is a critical time for the well-being of our loved ones, and the need to act has never been more pressing. For over 30 years, I’ve been advocating at the state legislature level and with congressional members, but the potential cuts to Medicaid we are facing now are unlike anything we've encountered before. We must work together to protect this vital resource. Your support could make a significant difference. To reach out to your Congressional Member consider these two resources:- Epilepsy Foundation: https://www.epilepsy.com/advocacy/advocate - ARC of US: https://p2a.co/lRPDZ5C What Medicaid means to your family: https://action.thearc.org/3jLx90b

    Responsibility to those who cannot or will not be here. 10% of Americans. 10k diseases, all chronic. Childhood. Do not have FDA approved treatments, no cures. Staggering Financial Costs aka Toxicities. Efforts to date have allowed for interventions that may still matter. We have invested so much.

    AES

    JW - Everybody who was at AES felt the temperature change. Things are getting real and timelines are moving faster. Our job now is to convince donors that we need more fuel in the tank so we don’t miss opportunities indicative in families that this is no longer one day, but this is soon and they need to get ready.

    First Principles

    Genetic disease means that gene broken since conception.Novel medicines are possible ways to fix the gene - Genetic Therapies (ASO &/or AAV), this is recent, before now, kids with these diseases were a “go home and love them” situation.These are delivered via spinal tap or directly to the brain in leading medical centers.First though, regulators must approve.

    Our job

    Develop medicines or get industry to - This is happening see PipelineGet regulators to approve trialsGet medical centers up to speed on SYNGAP1-Related Disorders (SRD)

    What we are building on

    CHOP ENDD funded externally (see #S10e92) and replicating what was built for STXBP1, check last week’s webinar https://curesyngap1.org/resources/webinars/93-endd-chop-2024-syngap1/Rare-X platform for PRO collectionRegulatory pathway being made clearer every day by Stoke (Dravet), Praxis (SCN2A), Ionis (many) all of whom are working on SYNGAP1 as well.

    What we are asking for

    We need to raise at least $500k (3rd site), preferably $1.13M (ProMMiS)Make your largest gift ever to SRFFundraise with friends and familyACES is now ProMMiS, who knew ACE meant Adverse Childhood Event, not us.

    Key slides: S1 Path to Treatment | 2024 (09.27.24)

    1. Why Now? Why is it time to go from bench to bedside (research to clinical)?At least 10 companies on our pipeline not to mention multiple small molecule effortsWe have limited resources – so the focus has to transition, clinical funding first.CHOP Gift is 1 year down
2. Why NHS?Understand SYNGAP1 better, go beyond Vlaskamp 2019 and Wiltrout 2024, see #S10e105 FYI at CHOP, as I shared in #S10e151, at year 1, we are at – 86 (Visits) + 10 (new scheduled) + 19 (2nd) + 4 (3rd) + 22 (follow up) Learn what to measure in clinical trials for SRD, remember our seizures are challengingIdeally we develop a Synthetic Control Arm if we use GCPWhy top shelf? We need institutions the FDA will take seriously and our children are very complex requiring experienced clinicians. 3. Why Multidisciplinary.Neuro, Psych, Genetics, PT, ST, OT, GI, Sleep, ENT, Ortho.Beyond the sheer burden of getting our kids out and about for multiple appointments the coordination by a parent is almost impossible.4. Why Multisite/3 sites?Replicable/scalable required by regulatorsAccessibility (not primary reason)Establish more locations where trials will be managedLaying a foundation for a national self-sustaining network3 is the minimum, look at STARR or Angelman, both had/ve 4.5. How and why so fast?Because we can. Time is Brain.Following a well trodden pathSMA, Rett, Angelman, Dravet, but we are moving FASTER.6. Does the industry really care?We are next there are so so many behind us, eager to take the resources we have access to today.Market size (Per our Census 425 US/1500 global is tip of iceberg)Multiple players reassuring each otherRelatively strong amount of scientific and clinical researchHaploinsufficiency (like Dravet – STOKE) – so relatively easy7. Expensive?No. Clinical Research is more expensive than basic scientific research.Leveraging CHOP and Rare-X, setting up required networks to prepare for clinical trials. It’s time.8. Why Bother/Help?Now is the time for SYNGAP1, we miss it at our peril.Sure, once in these places we will still see our patients, but the study, the support and the focus may pass.Our kids don’t die, regardless of patient age, what we are doing can change their future and that of their loved ones and caregivers.If not us, then who? It is a rare exception when a non-family member gives a gift, and it is always because a family member asked. We must ask.9. What can I do?Donate to, share, join our Coast2Coast Clinics Challenge – two SYNGAP1 Squads in West and East – it’s critical$500k goal by end of 2024; more than $1M needed just for the SYNGAP1ProMMiS. So far, donations from $25 to $25,000 – each and every contribution matters.This requires our entire S1 network to solicit family, friends, work colleagues, companies, etc. to contribute. Many causes out there – why not ours?Syngap.Fund/C2C
