Zatolmilast Phase 3 Clinical Trial in Fragile X Syndrome

Originally published June 2023, republished with minor edits.
Tetra Therapeutics, a Shionogi Group Company, is accepting males ages 9-45 with Fragile X syndrome for large scale clinical phase 3 trials of their phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor
Individuals who complete the placebo-controlled trial are then eligible to continue taking the drug, as part of an open label continuation trial.
These trials mark a major milestone for community-based drug development. FRAXA-funded research pointed the way to phosphodiesterase inhibitors to treat Fragile X many years ago. However, finding a good phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor was a challenge because there was so much interest in the pharmaceutical world in developing these drugs for Alzheimer's disease and other blockbuster indications.

FRAXA’s mission is to find effective treatments and ultimately a cure for Fragile X syndrome. We directly fund research grants and fellowships at top universities around the world. We partner with biomedical and pharmaceutical companies, large and small, to bridge the gap between research discoveries and actual treatments.
Treatments for Fragile X are likely to help people affected by autism, Alzheimer’s, and other brain disorders.

@@scentedgamer8676 phase 3 started recruiting late 2022. Typical phase 3 studies can last 1-4 years. It really depends on how quickly they can get all of the study participants enrolled.
