The documentation for cerebral arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy is limited primarily due to its rarity, which affects fewer than 1 in 100,000 individuals worldwide. This rarity has led to a lack of systematic clinical studies and comprehensive characterization of the disease. The genetic basis was only recently identified, and ongoing clinical characterization is necessary to better understand the condition.
To navigate your care effectively, seek a neurologist with expertise in hereditary cerebrovascular disorders, as they can provide specialized guidance. Additionally, consider reaching out to the CADASIL Eradication Project at https://notch3.org for support and resources. Participating in patient registries or natural history studies can also be beneficial, as these opportunities may provide insights into your condition and connect you with others facing similar challenges.
Currently, there are two orphan drugs designated for this condition: palm tocotrienol complex and a peptide fraction derived from porcine brain protein, both of which are still in development. Additionally, there are 20 active clinical trials exploring various aspects of cerebral arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy. For more information on these trials, you can visit ClinicalTrials.gov at https://clinicaltrials.gov/search?cond=cerebral%20arteriopathy%20with%20subcortical%20infarcts%20and%20leukoencephalopathy.
