Vanderbilt University has studied a new medication to help with agression, irritability and moodiness in children and teens with Fragile X. Our results indicated improvement in social withdrawal. The purpose of this study is to find out if STX209 (R-Baclofen) is effective in treating social withdrawal in people with Fragile X. This randomized placebo-controlled study will help us determine whether the effects we saw before can be seen in a new group of people.
The study lasts 12 weeks. It involves 7 visits to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. We need you to give blood at several of those visits.
There is no cost to you for being in this research study. You will get evaluations from a psychologist and psychiatrist during your study visits, and study medications at no cost.
