They are not compromising other trials.  And to even suggest that is unethical if it suggests people should hold off on helping patients.  How about we just diagnose more kids?  Or think harder about which kids go to which trials? Precision Genetic Therapies are going to be more effective than repurposed drugs, people will happily participate in trials.   Review of repurposed drugs: RAVICTI Rx- 10+ patients with Dr. Grinspan, not all but a few have had significant seizure reduction.  I remain worried about cost and look to STXBP1 and SLC6A1 for guidance here.
