Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Utility of Autism Behavior Inventory(ABI) in Measuring Clinical Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

    The ABI is a series of 73 questions related to the core and associated symptoms of ASD. Questions are answered on two 4-point scales, consisting of ratings of frequency and intensity, frequency and context, or quality and context.

    up to Week 10

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Usability of the Janssen Autism Knowledge Engine (JAKE) in Measuring Clinical Symptoms of ASD

    up to Week 10

  • Correlation Between Key Biosensors and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Symptoms

    up to Week 10

  • Correlation Between Genomic Characteristics and Autism Phenotypes

    up to Week 10

  • Usability of the JAKE System to detect changes in response to standard

    up to Week 10

  • Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    up to Week 10

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

Cohort 1

It will consist of planned 100 children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) aged 6 years and older with no requirements regarding concurrent therapies or treatments.

Cohort 2

It will consist of planned 50 children and adults aged 6 and older who, as part of their standard care, happen to be beginning a behavioral intervention within 2 weeks after the baseline visit of the study. This intervention can be an applied behavior analysis (ABA) program or similar or a social skills program or a school-based autism program and must be intended to last at least throughout the duration of the study.

Cohort 3

It will consist of planned 30 normally developing children and adults. These participants will only have a single visit wherein they will undergo a single session with the task battery and biosensors. There should be 5 participants aged 6-9 years, 5 aged 10-12 years, 5 aged 13-17 years, and 5 aged 18 years and older. This cohort should approximate the male:female ratio in Cohorts 1 \& 2, with approximately 1 female for every 5 males.

Study Population

Children and Adult participants with history of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) will be observed.

You may qualify if:

  • Cohort 1 and 2:
  • Participants must be males or females aged 6 years and older with at least one female for every five male participants
  • Diagnosis of ASD made or confirmed using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, 2nd edition (ADOS-2)
  • Participants can receive behavioral and/or pharmacologic treatments for ASD and comorbid disorders during the course of the study, or not (Cohort 1)
  • In cohort 2, as part of their standard care participants must be about to begin a behavioral intervention within 2 weeks after the Baseline visit
  • Parents or legally authorized representatives must speak and understand English
  • Cohort 3:
  • Participants must be males or females aged 6 years and older with at least one female for every five male participants.
  • Parents or legally authorized representatives must speak and understand English
  • In the opinion of the investigator, subject and parents must be capable of completing all procedures and tasks of the study
  • Each participant or their legally authorized representative must sign an informed consent form (ICF)
  • A score in the normal range on the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) and must not have any Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders

You may not qualify if:

  • Cohort 1 and 2:
  • Measured composite score on the Kaufmann Brief Intelligence Test-2 (KBIT-2) of less than 60
  • History of, or current significant medical illness that the Investigator considers should exclude the participant
  • Psychological and/or emotional problems which would render the informed consent invalid or limit the ability of the subject to comply with the study requirements
  • Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator would compromise the study, or the wellbeing of the subject; for example, visual problems that would impede eye-tracking or viewing the stimuli or hearing problems that would impede hearing auditory stimuli
  • Participant is an employee of the investigator or study site, with direct involvement in the proposed study or other studies under the direction of that investigator or study site, as well as family members of the employees or the investigator
  • Cohort 3:
  • History of or current significant medical illness that the Investigator considers should exclude the participant
  • Psychological and/or emotional problems which would render the informed consent invalid or limit the ability of the participant to comply with the study requirements
  • Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator would compromise the study, or the wellbeing of the subject; for example, visual problems that would impede eye-tracking or viewing the stimuli or hearing problems that would impede hearing auditory stimuli
  • Participant is an employee of the investigator or study site, with direct involvement in the proposed study or other studies under the direction of that investigator or study site, as well as family members of the employees or the investigator
  • Participant should not take any sedating medications on the day of the test battery and should not consume caffeine within 2 hours prior to the battery
