BridgeMD
A study where all patients receive the test drug, in order to understand the consequences of long-term test drug use on the human body. All patients are children, adolescents and young adults who suffer from an inherited disease called Fragile X Syndrome, which affects their intellectual and behavioral development. The majority of patients in this study have previously participated in a study with the test drug, and continue taking the test drug in this study because their carers feel it had helped them.
EU CTIS ID: 2023-508165-33-00
What this study is testing
To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of ZYN002 administered as a transdermal gel formulation, for up to 48 months, in the treatment of symptoms of Fragile X Syndrome (FXS).
- Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III)

- Judged by the Investigator to be in generally good health at entry based upon the results of a medical history, physical examination, 12-lead ECG, and clinical laboratory test results. Laboratory results outside of the reference range must be documented as not clinically significant by both the Investigator and Sponsor.
- Patients with a history of seizure disorders must currently be receiving treatment with a stable regimen of no more than two AEDs for the four weeks preceding study entry; or must be seizure-free for one year if not currently receiving AEDs.

Psychotropic medications include (but are not limited to) antipsychotics, antidepressants, anxiolytics, attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medications, and medications for sleep.
You likely can't join if
- Patient is receiving or has received an investigational drug or device less than or equal to 30 days prior to screening, with the exception of ZYN002 or placebo in the previous Zynerba FXS trial, ZYN2-CL-033.
- History of significant allergic condition, significant drug-related hypersensitivity, or allergic reaction to any compound or chemical class related to ZYN002 or its excipients.
- Patient has an advanced, severe, or unstable disease that may interfere with the study outcome evaluations.
- Patient has an acute or progressive neurological disease, psychosis, schizophrenia, or any psychiatric disorder or severe mental abnormalities (other than FXS) that are likely to require changes in drug therapy or interfere with the objectives of the study or the ability to adhere to protocol requirements.
- Patient has a positive result for the presence of HBsAg, HCV, or HIV antibodies.
- Patient has known history of cardiovascular disease, advanced arteriosclerosis, structural cardiac abnormality, cardiomyopathy, serious heart rhythm abnormalities, coronary artery disease, cardiac conduction problems, exercise-related cardiac events including syncope and pre-syncope, risk factors for Torsades de pointes (TdP) (e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of Long QT Syndrome), or other serious cardiac problems.

Standard acceptable methods of contraception include abstinence (defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse from screening to three months after the last dose of study medication) or the use of a highly effective method of contraception, including hormonal contraception (acceptable only if associated with inhibition of ovulation), diaphragm, cervical cap, vaginal sponge, condom, spermicide, vasectomy, or intrauterine device. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) is not an acceptable method of contraception.
- Patients who have alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), or total bilirubin levels ≥ 2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or has alkaline phosphatase levels ≥3 times the ULN as determined from patient safety laboratories.
