Registration Number

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical study is to learn about the utility and performance of the EarliPoint System (™): Evaluation for Autism Spectrum Disorder to diagnose and assess autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children ages 31-96 months (2.5 - 7 years chronological age).

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. To determine the sensitivity and specificity of the EarliPoint device (test) compared to Expert Clinician Diagnosis (ECD) using gold-standard clinical reference assessments in the target age-expanded population.

2. To determine the association between the EarliPoint Verbal Ability Index score and the clinical measures of verbal ability as measured by the Differential Ability Scales (DAS-II).

3. To determine the association between the EarliPoint Nonverbal Ability Index score and the clinical measures of non-verbal abilities as measured by the Differential Ability Scales (DAS-II).

4. To determine the association between the EarliPoint Social Disability Index score and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, second edition (ADOS-II) Overall Total Score.

5. To determine the association between the EarliPoint Expressive Language Ability Index score and the clinical measures of verbal ability as measured by the Differential Ability Scales (DAS-II).

6. To determine the association between the EarliPoint Receptive Language Ability Index score and the clinical measures of verbal ability as measured by the Differential Ability Scales (DAS-II).

7. To estimate the incidence of adverse device effects associated with the use of the EarliPoint device.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, multi-center, double-blind, within-subject comparison study of Dynamic Quantification of Social-Visual Engagement (DQSVE) for diagnosis of ASD and/or related developmental delays (DD) in children ages 31 - 96 months (2.5 - 7 years chronological age). The study will enroll children suspected to have ASD (ASD-positive) and those who do not have ASD (ASD-negative). Eligible participants who sign the Informed Consent Form will be consecutively screened at each study site and enrolled in the appropriate subject group (either suspected ASD/DD or non-ASD).

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. To determine the sensitivity and specificity of the EarliPoint device (test) compared to Expert Clinician Diagnosis (ECD) using gold-standard clinical reference assessments in the target age-expanded population.

2. To determine the association between the EarliPoint Verbal Ability Index score and the clinical measures of verbal ability as measured by the Differential Ability Scales (DAS-II).

3. To determine the association between the EarliPoint Nonverbal Ability Index score and the clinical measures of non-verbal abilities as measured by the Differential Ability Scales (DAS-II).

4. To determine the association between the EarliPoint Social Disability Index score and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, second edition (ADOS-II) Overall Total Score.

5. To determine the association between the EarliPoint Expressive Language Ability Index score and the clinical measures of verbal ability as measured by the Differential Ability Scales (DAS-II).

6. To determine the association between the EarliPoint Receptive Language Ability Index score and the clinical measures of verbal ability as measured by the Differential Ability Scales (DAS-II).

7. To estimate the incidence of adverse device effects associated with the use of the EarliPoint device.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
EarliPoint sensitivityat baseline

The sensitivity of the EarliPoint device relative to the Clinically Certain-Expert Clinician Diagnosis (CC-ECD), defined as the proportion of clinically positive subjects for whom both the EarliPoint and CC-ECD diagnoses are positive.

EarliPoint specificityat baseline

The specificity of the EarliPoint device relative to the CC-ECD, defined as the proportion of clinically negative subjects for whom the EarliPoint and CC-ECD procedure are negative.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
EarliPoint Verbal Ability Index scoreat baseline

The correlation between the EarliPoint Verbal Ability Index score and the clinical measures of verbal ability as measured by the Differential Ability Scales (Verbal Ability Cluster).

Adverse Device Effectsat baseline

The occurrence of adverse device effects associated with the use of the EarliPoint device.

EarliPoint Social Disability Index Scoreat baseline

The Correlation between the EarliPoint Social Disability Index score and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, second edition (ADOS-2) Overall Total Score.
