Abstract

Aim: This study examined the efficacy of AST-001 for the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children.

Methods: This phase 2 clinical trial consisted of a 12-week placebo-controlled main study, a 12-week extension, and a 12-week follow-up in children aged 2 to 11 years with ASD. The participants were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to a high-dose, low-dose, or placebo-to-high-dose control group during the main study. The placebo-to-high-dose control group received placebo during the main study and high-dose AST-001 during the extension. The a priori primary outcome was the mean change in the Adaptive Behavior Composite (ABC) score of the Korean Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales II (K-VABS-II) from baseline to week 12.

Results: Among 151 enrolled participants, 144 completed the main study, 140 completed the extension, and 135 completed the follow-up. The mean K-VABS-II ABC score at the 12th week compared with baseline was significantly increased in the high-dose group (P = 0.042) compared with the placebo-to-high-dose control group. The mean CGI-S scores were significantly decreased at the 12th week in the high-dose (P = 0.046) and low-dose (P = 0.017) groups compared with the placebo-to-high-dose control group. During the extension, the K-VABS-II ABC and CGI-S scores of the placebo-to-high-dose control group changed rapidly after administration of high-dose AST-001 and caught up with those of the high-dose group at the 24th week. AST-001 was well tolerated with no safety concern. The most common adverse drug reaction was diarrhea.

Conclusions: Our results provide preliminary evidence for the efficacy of AST-001 for the core symptoms of ASD.

AST-001 与安慰剂治疗自闭症谱系障碍儿童的社交沟通:随机临床试验。
目的:本研究探讨了AST-001对儿童自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)核心症状的疗效:这项2期临床试验包括为期12周的安慰剂对照主要研究、为期12周的扩展研究和为期12周的随访,研究对象为2至11岁的自闭症谱系障碍儿童。在主要研究期间,参与者按1:1:1的比例随机分配到高剂量组、低剂量组或安慰剂与高剂量对照组。安慰剂对高剂量对照组在主要研究期间服用安慰剂,在延长研究期间服用高剂量 AST-001。先验主要结果是韩国维尼兰适应行为量表II(K-VABS-II)适应行为综合(ABC)得分从基线到第12周的平均变化:在 151 名参加者中,144 人完成了主要研究,140 人完成了扩展研究,135 人完成了后续研究。与安慰剂转大剂量对照组相比,大剂量组在第12周的K-VABS-II ABC平均得分与基线相比显著增加(P = 0.042)。与安慰剂对高剂量对照组相比,高剂量组(P = 0.046)和低剂量组(P = 0.017)在第 12 周的 CGI-S 平均得分明显下降。在延长期内,服用大剂量AST-001后,从安慰剂到大剂量对照组的K-VABS-II ABC和CGI-S评分迅速发生变化,并在第24周赶上了大剂量组。AST-001的耐受性良好,没有安全问题。最常见的药物不良反应是腹泻:我们的研究结果为 AST-001 治疗 ASD 核心症状的疗效提供了初步证据。
