Abstract
The US FDA approval of trofinetide as the first pharmacological treatment to improve Rett syndrome's symptomatology marks a significant milestone with broad implications for various disorders. The LILAC trials demonstrate long-term safety and efficacy of trofinetide.1,2 While further research is needed to fully resolve the condition, insights from trofinetide trials can inform strategies for future treatments and trials.
