Mavoglurant in Fragile X Syndrome: Results of two open-label, extension trials in adults and adolescents

Abstract Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common monogenic cause of inherited intellectual and developmental disabilities. Mavoglurant, a selective metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype-5 antagonist, has shown positive neuronal and behavioral effects in preclinical studies, but failed to demon...
