HIDE SMILES / InChI
Arbaclofen (STX209, R-baclofen), a selective agonist of GABA-B receptors, has been investigated in clinical trials for the treatment of autism spectrum disorder ASD, phase II and for the treatment of patients with fragile X syndrome in phase III. As a result, the drug did not meet the primary outcome of improved social avoidance in FXS in either study. In spite of positive results in some children with ASD, further study will be needed to replicate and extend these initial findings. Arbaclofen has also been investigated in phase III clinical trials as a treatment for spasticity due to multiple sclerosis.
