A message to the Fragile X community from the Team at Harmony Biosciences

Last year, Harmony Biosciences  announced the acquisition of Zynerba Pharmaceuticals  and the RECONNECT study. In addition to this program and the innovative product, we also added members of the Zynerba team to Harmony. Over the past six months, the Harmony team has worked alongside our new colleagues to create and deepen existing ties with members of the Fragile X syndrome (FXS) community. While the path to bringing treatments to patients and their families is often challenging, all of us at Harmony stand united with you throughout this journey and in the completion of the RECONNECT trial.

During February 2024 Advocacy Day , Harmony team members had a chance to join our new colleagues alongside the Fragile X community and NFXF for the first time. Our team’s experience in Washington, DC deepened both our understanding and empathy for those living with Fragile X, their caregivers and families. It’s why we’re constantly working to make the clinical trial experience as easy as possible for families.

Patients and caregivers can now participate in the RECONNECT trial completely from their home through a combination of at-home and virtual visits. The At-Home option was introduced to help lessen potential barriers for families who live far from a RECONNECT study site or find it too challenging to go to a physician’s office for study visits. Whether you choose for your child to participate through this new At-Home option or at a RECONNECT study site, your participation is critical to help complete the RECONNECT trial.
