For Families...

Three pharmaceutical companies are developing medications which target mGluR5 for children and adults who have Fragile X.

One of the three compounds, Novartis AFQ056, is now in Phase IIb clinical trials. Medical centers in the US, Europe, Australia, and Canada are enrolling men and women age 18-45 with Fragile X syndrome in this trial, and trials for ages 12-17 are expected to begin soon.
