More on the Cyclodextrin Trial

Below you will find the lastest on the Cyclodextrin Trial at the NIH.  Unfortunately Tylor is not a candidate for this first trial because he is on more than one anti-seizure medication.  We will be following this trial closely and we are hopeful that Tylor will be able to participate in the upcoming trial involving Cyclodextrin.
