Vulnerable Population
The trial enrols a paediatric vulnerable population (female subjects aged 5–12 years). Free written Informed Consent Form (ICF) must be provided by parent(s)/legal guardian(s) or authorized legal representative(s) prior to any study procedures. No separate assent process for participants is specified in the available criteria.

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Free written Informed Consent Form (ICF) by their parent(s)/legal guardian(s) or authorized legal representative(s) prior to any procedure required by the study.\n- Female subjects aged ≥5 and ≤12 years, at the time of signing the ICF.\n- Diagnosis of classical/typical RTT, according to 2010 criteria with a documented mutation of the MECP2 gene\n- Severity rating of between 10 and 36 (RTT Natural History/Clinical Severity Scale).\n- Be able to swallow the study treatment provided as an oral liquid suspension.\n- A female subject is eligible if she meets one of the following criteria: − is of non-childbearing potential, see Contraception Requirements; or − is of childbearing potential and agrees to use an accepted contraceptive method from at least 4 weeks prior to Enrolment until 4 weeks after the End of Treatment (EOT) or Premature Discontinuation Visit (PDV), see Contraception Requirements"}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Actively undergoing neurological regression.\n- Conditions that could modify absorption of the study drug.\n- Known hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI).\n- Positive result in serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) pregnancy test, if childbearing potential or lactating girl.\n- Other medical, neurologic, psychiatric, or social condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, is likely to unfavourably alter risk-benefit of study participation, confound interpretation of safety or efficacy results, or interfere with the satisfactory completion of study requirements.\n- Has any of the following: − QT interval (corrected by Bazett’s formula) of >460 ms at Screening or Baseline (before dosing). − History of a risk factor for torsade de pointes (e.g., heart failure or family history of long QT syndrome). − History of clinically significant QT prolongation that is deemed to put the subject at increased risk of clinically significant QT prolongation or treatment for known QTc prolongation with drugs such as betablockers\n- Reduced left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ˂ 50%, or other clinically significant cardiac abnormalities on echocardiogram that in the Investigator’s opinion could predispose the subject to volume overload or its attendant consequences.\n- Non-stable epilepsy/status epilepticus in the last 8 weeks.\n- Previous or current history of cancer, unless surgically resected and without evidence of recurrence for a minimum of 5 years.\n- Known type 1 or type 2 diabetes.\n- Use of pioglitazone or other thiazolidinediones within the past 6 months prior to screening.\n- Known hypersensitivity/allergic reaction or intolerance to pioglitazone or any other thiazolidinedione.\n- Known hypersensitivity/allergic reaction to the study drug substance or any of the excipients.\n- Has a requirement for treatment with a prohibited concomitant medication, specified in Protocol (Previous and Concomitant Medication), including the antiepileptic medication (Carbamazepine, Clobazam, Perampanel and/or Zonisamide), the antipsychotic medication (Risperidone), and medications known to prolong QTc interval.\n- Clinically significant anemia with hemoglobin <10 g/dL.\n- Abnormal liver enzyme tests for aspartate transaminase (AST) or alanine transaminase (ALT) of >2.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN).\n- Subject has moderate to severe renal impairment (GFR ˂ 60 mL/min)\n- Participation in any clinical trial within the previous 3 months.\n- Subject has mild, moderate, or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classification groups A, B or C)."}
