Sage & Biogen ET Clinical Trial
​About the KINETIC 2 TRIAL. Sage & Biogen are looking for adults ages 18 to 80 years old who have been formally diagnosed with essential tremor for at least three years to take part in the KINETIC 2 TRIAL. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three different doses of an investigational drug compared to a placebo on tremor reduction. A placebo is an inactive pill that looks like the investigational drug but contains no active medication. Participation in the KINETIC 2 TRIAL lasts approximately 19 weeks, including 11 clinic visits and five phone calls from the study team.
 
Interested individuals will be evaluated to determine their eligibility to participate in this study. Each patient who participates will receive either the investigational drug or a placebo, as well as study-related medical exams and study-related laboratory tests, at no cost. To learn more, visit KINETIC2TrialET.com.

Talking about living with Essential Tremor
Ask Your Legislator to Support an FDA Neuroscience Center of Excellence
Congress needs to hear from you now. Please urge your member of Congress to support the creation of a Neuroscience Center of Excellence by co-sponsoring the BRAIN Act and signing the letter in support of the creation of a Neuroscience Center of Excellence today. ​
​Leaders of the Congressional Neuroscience Caucus and the Brain Injury Task Force are circulating a sign-on letter to the Energy & Commerce Committee in support of the creation of a Neuroscience Center of Excellence (NCOE) at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A Neuroscience Center of Excellence would help the more than ten million people living with essential tremor by creating a more transparent and patient-focused process at the FDA to speed the delivery of safe and effective treatments to patients.
