Juvenile Onset GM1 and GM2 Patient-led Listening Session

On August 28, 2025, members of the juvenile‑onset GM1 and GM2 (Tay‑Sachs and Sandhoff diseases) community shared their experiences living with these conditions during a closed, patient‑led Listening Session with the FDA. Five parents introduced their children, described their diagnoses, and spoke about the profound impact the diseases have had on their families. They offered candid perspectives on the idea of a placebo‑controlled trial and urged the FDA to consider alternative approaches for bringing therapies to rare disease communities. Throughout the session, they emphasized the urgency of time and the reality that these children cannot afford to wait.
