Summary
This trial will study the effects of a drug on people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Approximately 120 people will take part.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adolescents and adults aged 12 to 45 with Autism Spectrum Disorder who finished study ML-004-002 within the last 90 days. Participants must have a stable body weight, be on consistent psychoactive medications or therapies for at least four weeks, and be able to swallow pills. They also need a reliable care partner to report on their symptoms.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests an oral medication called ML-004 in tablet form, both immediate-release (IR) and extended-release (ER), for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This extension of an earlier trial aims to gather more data about the drug's long-term effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, common ones associated with ASD medications may include sleepiness, stomach upset, changes in appetite or mood swings. The exact side effects will depend on individual reactions to ML-004.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: ML-004 (IR)/(ER) tabletExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
ML-004 is a bilayer immediate-release (IR)/extended-release (ER, gastroretentive) oral tablet formulation. ML-004 is taken orally once daily and provided as a tablet in two dose strengths of 12 mg (3 mg IR/9 mg ER) and 24 mg tablet (6 mg IR/18 mg ER). Dose levels for this study are 12 mg (provided as one 12 mg tablet), 24 mg (one 24 mg tablet), 48 mg (two 24 mg tablets), and 72 mg (three 24 mg tablets).

Other Research
Common treatments for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often target the core symptoms such as social-communication difficulties and repetitive behaviors. Pharmacological treatments, including antipsychotics and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), work by modulating neurotransmitter systems like dopamine and serotonin, which are believed to be dysregulated in ASD.
Behavioral interventions, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), focus on reinforcing desired behaviors and reducing harmful ones through structured activities. These mechanisms are crucial as they aim to alleviate the core symptoms of ASD, thereby improving the quality of life and functional abilities of patients.
