Get ready for one of our most meaningful conversations yet. Dr. Chloe sits down with Elizabeth DeLuca—the powerhouse advocate whose late-night PubMed searches, cross-country lab visits, and “help-the-babies” fund-raising campaigns helped push Capsida’s CAP-002 gene-therapy program all the way to FDA clearance. We unpack how this first-in-human trial aims to restore the missing STXBP1 protein, why the same technology could leapfrog into other rare epilepsies, and how a mother’s promise to her daughter is changing the face of science.

Heads-up: We speak candidly about seizures, neuro-degeneration, and child loss. Estimated annual mortality for STXBP1 remains ~3 %—every child is one too many—and that stark reality fuels Elizabeth’s drive and Dr. Chloe’s daily fight for her son, Remy.

Listen, share, and stand with the rare-disease community that defines our world.
