About this study

Official title: An Open Label Extension Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of STX209 in Subjects With Autism Spectrum Disorders

Study 22003, "An Open-Label, Flexible-Dose Evaluation of the Safety and Tolerability of STX209 for Treatment of Irritability in Subjects With Autism Spectrum Disorders(ASD)" currently is evaluating the efficacy of STX209 (R-baclofen) for management of typical problem behaviors, such as irritability and aggression, in subjects with ASD. This study (22007) will enter subjects who complete Study 22003 into a long-term, open-label study.The open-label extension protocol will provide necessary data on the long-term safety and tolerability of STX209 among subjects with ASD who receive treatment under conditions more closely reflective of their general medical care.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • arbaclofenDrug

    Also called R-baclofen, STX209, arbaclofen

    A flexible dose titration will be utilized during the first four weeks to define the optimal titrated dose (OTD) for each subject. Investigators will use clinical judgment to adjust doses to the oral OTD. The starting dose will be 1 mg BID. The dose may be increased every four to five days to 2 mg BID, 3 mg BID, 5 mg BID and then 10 mg BID

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing arbaclofen in people with Autism Spectrum Disorders, run by Seaside Therapeutics, Inc. at 8 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Dec 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: all active subjects were rolled into study 209AS209/NCT01706523). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Irritability subscale of the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (time frame: every 2 to 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Dec 2012.
