Age 12–45 males with FXS with a molecular genetic confirmation FMR1 >200 CGG repetitions needed for clinical trials of new drug zatolmilast.

Tetra Therapeutics is conducting two randomized, placebo-controlled studies of BPN14770 (zatolmilast) to learn about the experimental drug’s safety and efficacy.
