- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method FXS Domain Specific Concerns Day 70 The Clinician/Caregiver FXS Domain Specific Concerns allows for the subject specific symptoms of concern to be assessed on an ongoing basis throughout the study. The specific concerns that correlate to the 6 domains (Clinician) or 3 Domains (Caregiver) will be assessed using a 7-point Likert scale.
