Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 15 to 84 months
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child

Study population: Children ages 15-84 months (at time of enrollment) who have a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder/related developmental delay and are actively undergoing applied behavioral analysis or related therapy or those who are typically-developing.

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects must meet all the following inclusion criteria to participate in Cohort 1a.
  • Male or female individuals between the ages of 15-30 months (chronological age) at the time of consent who have autism spectrum disorder and/or related developmental delays or those who are typically developing.
  • Normal or corrected-to-normal vision with visual acuity and oculomotor function sufficient to watch short videos.
  • Hearing adequate to hear information presented in age-appropriate videos of social interactions.
  • For individuals who have autism spectrum disorder and/or related developmental delays, the subject must be established in treatment (e.g., a treatment plan has been developed and child is undergoing treatment or will immediately begin treatment) and intends to remain in treatment continuously throughout the duration of the study. Additionally, individuals must provide a diagnostic report documenting a positive diagnosis of ASD/DD available for review. If a report is not available, subjects must undergo diagnostic evaluation prior to enrolling into the study.
  • For individuals who are typically developing, the parent, referring clinician and/or daycare center have indicated that the child is not suspected of, nor has he/she exhibited signs of, developmental delays. NOTE: If, at screening, the investigator suspects the typically developing (TD) subject of having a developmental delay (based on feedback from referring clinician and/or daycare center along with expert clinician opinion), the subject shall be screen failed. He/she should be referred for diagnosis and then may be re-screened for the study.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multi-Center, Longitudinal Study of Dynamic Quantification of Social-Visual Engagement (DQSVE) For Treatment Monitoring In Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

The goal of this clinical study is to learn about the utility and performance of the EarliPoint(™) System: Evaluation for Autism Spectrum Disorder to monitor changes in a child's verbal ability, non-verbal learning, and social disability over time in children ages 15-84 months with autism spectrum disorder or related developmental delays (DD) and in those who are typically developing.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • To estimate the change in each of the EarliPoint index scores in typically developing children ages 15-84 months from baseline through 180 days as a function of the child's age.
  • To estimate the change in the EarliPoint verbal and non-verbal index scores in ASD/DD children ages 15-84 months from baseline through 180 days as a function of the child's age in: a) those who showed clinical improvement, and b) those who did not show clinical improvement.
  • To estimate the relationship of the EarliPoint verbal and non-verbal index scores to clinical reference assessments in ASD/DD children as a function of their age from baseline through 180 days.
  • To estimate the degree of change, if change occurs, month-to-month in the EarliPoint Social Disability Index score from baseline through 180 days.
  • To estimate the incidence of behavioral events (e.g., tantrums, etc.) which limit the subject from completing an eye-tracking session.
  • To estimate the incidence of adverse device effects associated with the use of the study device.

What participants receive

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

  • Assessment by Expert Clinician During Behavioral Intervention (ABA or similar)Behavioural

    Also called Applied Behavior Analysis

    Assessment (e.g., responder vs. non-responder status) utilizing gold-standard clinical reference assessments performed by expert clinicians as the subject undergoes Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) or similar intervention for autism spectrum disorder and related developmental delays

  • Assessment by the EarliPoint Assessment For Autism Spectrum DisorderDevice

    Also called EarliPoint System: Assessment for Autism Spectrum Disorder

    Assessment by The EarliPoint™ Evaluation for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a medical device which employs Dynamic Quantification of Social-Visual Engagement (DQSVE) to aid clinicians in the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment monitoring of ASD related developmental delays, is a diagnostic tool which measures an individual's visual preferential attention to social information in the environment relative to normative age-specific benchmarks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Autism Spectrum Disorder and Autism, run by EarliTec Diagnostics, Inc at 9 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 21 inclusion and 18 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Sep 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Change in EarliPoint Index Scores in typically developing children (time frame: 180 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05675371, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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.
