Did you know Zynerba Pharmaceuticals’ RECONNECT trial has a completely at-home/virtual option for participation?  

Families can participate in the RECONNECT trial completely from their home through a combination of at-home and virtual visits! The at-home option was introduced to help lessen potential barriers for families who live far from a Fragile X clinical study site or find it too challenging to go to a site for study visits.  

To date, several families have enrolled in the RECONNECT trial using the at-home/virtual option. Many are not near a trial site and have appreciated the flexibility and convenience of this participation option. Families who have had significant challenges going to a clinic for visits have also been able to enroll. 

At-home and virtual visits are supported by Dr. David Kudrow and his team at Science 37. 

Whether you choose for your child to participate through this new at-home option or at a Fragile X clinical study site, your participation is critical to help complete the RECONNECT trial. RECONNECT is evaluating an investigational medicine in the treatment of behavioral symptoms of Fragile X syndrome. If the data is positive, it may lead to the approval of the first medicine specifically for the treatment of behavioral symptoms in Fragile X syndrome.
