First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a single dose of SPG601 in 10 adult men with Fragile X syndrome to see if it improves symptoms like attention and behavior. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo, and neither they nor their doctors knew which they got. The goal was to measure changes in clinical ratings, caregiver observations, and brain responses to sound.
