简要总结
The purpose of the study is to determine if intranasal ketamine shows initial evidence of safety, tolerability and efficacy for the treatment of social impairment in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
详细描述
To address the significant need for effective treatment of core symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), this trial is designed as a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover pilot study of intranasal ketamine in 24 individuals with ASD ages 12- 30 years using a novel quantitative eye-tracking outcome measure to assess impact of the drug on social impairment. Additionally, to develop a ketamine-focused personalized medicine approach in ASD, the investigators will include pharmacokinetic, molecular pharmacodynamic, and electrophysiological assessments into initial systematic study.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Social Withdrawal subscale score of the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC)
时间窗: Social withdrawal subscale change from baseline to final visit on day 35 ± 2 days
The ABC is the gold standard parent/caregiver reported behavioral outcome measure for use in developmental disability clinical trials.
次要结局
