The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the monoclonal antibody ublituximab can treat Down Syndrome Regression Disorder (DSRD) by assessing its safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy in affected individuals. This study is conducted in adults aged 18-40 years with Down syndrome who have DSRD and have had an inadequate or partial response to first-line therapies. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does ublituximab demonstrate acceptable safety and tolerability, as measured by treatment-emergent adverse events from baseline through Week 24? * Does ublituximab lead to improvement in cognitive, neuropsychiatric, motor, and functional outcomes from baseline to Weeks 12 and 24? This is a single-arm study, so there is no comparison group. Participants will: * Receive two intravenous infusions of ublituximab (150 mg on Day 1 and 450 mg on Day 15) * Attend study visits at Screening, Baseline (Day 1) , Week 2 (Day 15), Week 3, Week 6, Week 12, and Week 24 * Undergo clinical assessments, including neurological and physical exams and safety monitoring labs throughout the study * Complete cognitive, behavioral, and functional evaluations at Baseline, Week 12, and Week 24 * Provide blood samples for safety monitoring and research biomarker analyses
Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 to 40 years, inclusive at time of consent * Diagnosis of Down syndrome (trisomy 21 or translocation type) * Diagnosis of possible or probable Down Syndrome Regression Disorder (DSRD) based on 2022 International Consensus Criteria * History of partial response or non-response to first-line treatment (e.g., lorazepam, SSRIs, corticosteroids, and/or IVIg). Partial response = 10-50% improvement, Non-response = \<10% improvement, Based on BFCRS or NPI-Q after 3 months of treatment. * Ability to attend all study visits with a study partner or legally authorized represen…
Participants assigned to the Ublituximab arm will receive a fixed two-dose intravenous regimen consisting of 150 mg on Day 1 and 450 mg on Day 15. All participants will be followed for 24 weeks with regular safety monitoring, clinical assessments, and evaluation of cognitive, neuropsychiatric, and functional outcomes.
