Overview

There is no treatment for Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS); the mainstay of therapy is supportive care. But the good news is that there are new investigational therapies for Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) patients which include lonafarnib and everolimus.

Medical Therapy

Lonafarnib

Everolimus
