Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • FXS is defined as full FMR1 mutations (>200 CGG repeats) confirmed by genetictesting.

  • General good health as determined by physical exam, medical history and laboratorywork up.

  • Stanford Binet IQ <85

  • Stable dosing of psychotropic drugs for at least 4 weeks.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects with a history of intolerance to baclofen, roflumilast, or memantine willbe excluded.

  • Subjects will also be excluded if they have taken any investigational drug within 3months, have a history of substance abuse or dependence within 6 months, orsignificant psychiatric or CNS neurological disease unrelated to FXS.

  • Uncontrolled seizures or history of epilepsy with a seizure in the past 6 months

  • Auditory or visual impairments that cannot be corrected based on visual and auditoryscreener benchmarks.

  • Moderate to severe renal or hepatic impairment and determined by a study physicianincorporating data from exam, medical history and laboratory value evaluation amongother data points.

  • Use of barbiturates, benzodiazepines, antiepileptics, or other GABAergic orglutamatergic modulators

  • Current use of: Amifampridine, Butalbital, Codeine, Doxylamine, Ethanol,Hydrocodone, Isocarboxazid, Kava, Metoclopramide, Midazolam, Oxybate, Phenelzine,Promethazine, Thalidomide, Tranylcypromine, Trimethobenzamide, Erythromycin,Ketoconazole, Fluvoxamine, Enoxacin, and Cimetidine.

  • Those taking other psychiatric medications must be on stable doses for 4 weeksbefore the baseline visit.

  • Pregnancy or breast-feeding. For female subjects of child bearing potential, a urinepregnancy test will be performed.

  • Potential subjects with a creatinine clearance < 50 mL/min will be excluded.

  • Identified medical issues, inability to tolerate study procedures or study drug perthe discretion of the Principal Investigator.
