“This will be the 10th year of hosting the Mark Charamella Memorial Golf Outing & Dinner. I know that my Dad would be so proud of his family, friends, and colleagues who come from near and far to join us year after year to raise money for Rett syndrome. Each year, when we gather for a fun day on the golf course, I definitely feel his presence and know this is exactly what he would want us to be doing. Please join us for our 10th year and our goal of raising $35,000 in honor of a great man!”
– Deb McLaughlin, Event Chair, daughter to Mark and sister to Deirdre

Physician Panel: Answering Your Questions About Trofinetide
May 23 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

Date: Tuesday, May 23, 2023
Time: 1-2 p.m. ET

INFORMATION & REGISTRATION

In March our community celebrated a first for Rett: trofinetide, now known commercially in the US as DAYBUE™, became the first-ever FDA-approved treatment for Rett syndrome. This approval was the culmination of a journey that began more than a decade ago and succeeded only thanks to the perseverance and commitment of the researchers and families who participated in every stage of the clinical trials.

During this 1-hour live webcast, join IRSF and a panel of physicians who treat individuals with Rett syndrome. As principal investigators for the trials, our panel has firsthand knowledge of the potential benefits and side effects of trofinetide. They’ll answer your pre-submitted questions, share their anecdotal learnings, and provide information important for any parent considering DAYBUE for their child.

Our Panelists:

  • Dr. Tim Benke, Professor of Pediatrics, Pharmacology, & Neurology at the University of Colorado/Children’s Hospital Colorado
  • Dr. Robin Ryther, Director of the Rett Spectrum Clinic at Washington University School of Medicine

The panel will be moderated by Carmen Luna, IRSF Clinical Network Manager, and include questions submitted by our community.
