Ongoing Clinical Trials for Fragile X

Welcome to the NFXF database for all current clinical trials for Fragile X-associated Disorders. In an effort to help move forward the development of new treatments, the NFXF has asked all pharmaceutical companies conducting Fragile X research to provide us with listings of their current studies.

The NFXF cannot vouch for the currency or accuracy of the information, as trials are regularly started, concluded or closed to new participants. However we will stay in close touch with the companies and update the information on a regular basis.

This announcement has been posted as a courtesy by the National Fragile X Foundation (NFXF) on behalf of the Clinical Trial Sponsors. The announcement and the parties conducting and sponsoring the research meet guidelines established by the NFXF regarding relevancy and appropriateness to Fragile X. The NFXF takes no position and makes no claims as to the potential benefits of the study including those studies involving medications, and cannot be responsible for any outcomes, lack of outcomes or unintended side effects. Your name or other personal information have not been shared with the researchers/company/institution. If interested in participating in this research, it is your responsibility to use the contact information in this announcement. Additional opportunities for being part of research studies can be found at research.fragilex.org.

Clinical Trials 101 Podcast

In early May 2012, we published a podcast featuring Robert Miller of the National Fragile X Foundation and representatives of the the major pharmaceutical companies involved in ongoing Fragile X Clinical Trials. We have Dr. Paul Wang, Vice President, Clinical Development of Seaside Therapeutics; Dr. Eriene Wasef, Associate Clinical Director of Hoffman-La Roche; and Dr. Marla Hochfeld, Executive Medical Director of Novartis. Listeners will hear insightful answers to the following questions:

  1. What is a clinical trial?
  2. Why are clinical trials important?
  3. How do clinical trials contribute to the safety of new drugs?
  4. How do clinical trials contribute to the usefulness of new drugs?
  5. What should I expect to be told about a trial and what should I not expect to be able to know?
  6. Can I drop out of a trial at any time?
  7. What about other medications my child might be taking?
  8. Can my child stay on the trial drug when a trial ends and, if not, why not?
  9. When a trial ends, should I expect to be contacted about the results or will I need to find that out on my own?
  10. What is the best way for listeners to learn about your company’s specific trial or trials?
