Summary

There are no drug treatments for individuals with Congenital Contractures of the Limb and Face, Hypotonia, and Developmental Delay (CLIFAHDD), an ultra-rare and severe neurodevelopmental disease. The investigators have learned more about the cause of the disease and researched possible treatments based on both the cause of the disease and the way certain drugs work. The investigators are interested in understanding the safety of using aprepitant (a drug already approved by the United States Food \& Drug Administration \[FDA\] to treat nausea and vomiting for kids and adults who are receiving chemotherapy) on people diagnosed with CLIFAHDD. The overall goal of this Phase 1 study is to study whether this drug is safe for daily use in individuals with CLIFAHDD and to find more information on how it impacts daily functioning and quality of life. The total study will take around 8 months total. This includes the 90 days before the drug starts and the 21 days after the drug ends.
