Curemark Announces Further Expansion of Clinical Sites For Its Phase 3 Clinical Trial for Children with Autism – The Blüm Study
RYE, New York (PRWEB) February 23, 2017 -- Curemark, LLC announced today that the Blüm Study, a Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CM-AT in children aged 3-8 with Autism, is now enrolling at three new sites. These new sites are in addition to the 30 clinical sites already enrolling children across the United States.
“There are currently no approved drugs that address the core symptoms of autism,” said Dr. Joan Fallon, founder and CEO of Curemark. “Making our clinical trial available to as many children across the United States as possible, is an important step toward seeking FDA approval of CM-AT.”
This 14-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study is being conducted to determine if CM-AT may help improve core and non-core symptoms of Autism. CM-AT, which has been granted Fast Track designation by FDA, is designed to enhance protein digestion thereby potentially restoring the pool of essential amino acids. Essential amino acids play a critical role in the expression of several genes important to neurological function and serve as precursors to key neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine.
The three new Blüm trial sites are:
Colorado
IMMUNOe Research Centers (Thornton)
Florida
Segal Institute for Clinical Research (Miami)
New Jersey
Children's Specialized Hospital (Egg Harbor Township)
