CBD gel tested for Long-Term safety in fragile x kids and young adults
NCT ID NCT03802799
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at the long-term safety of a CBD gel (ZYN002) applied to the skin for children, teens, and young adults with Fragile X syndrome. Participants from two earlier studies will use the gel twice daily for 52 weeks. The main goal is to check for side effects, with a secondary focus on whether symptoms improve.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- cannabidiol (CBD) gel applied to the skin
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that daily CBD gel is safe and may help manage symptoms of Fragile X syndrome over the long term.
- What could go wrong
- This is an extension study, not a new treatment test. It focuses on safety, not proof of effectiveness. Results may not apply to everyone with Fragile X.
