Study Summary

Multisite 14-week prospective double-blind placebo controlled parallel-group randomized clinical trial with 14-week open-label extension at the end of double-blind treatment phase for placebo subjects.

  6. Unchanged complementary, dietary, traditional, and behavioral treatments for twomonths prior to study entry.

  7. In males and females of childbearing age, two forms of birth control must be usedunless they are not sexually active.

  8. A caretaker who will accompany the patient to all procedures and has adequatecontact with the participant to complete caregiver questionnaires.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. LGALS3 rs4644 single nucleotide polymorphism with two copies of the Variant-typeallele.

  6. Current uncontrolled gastroesophageal disorders.

  7. Current or history of liver or kidney disease as determined by medical history andsafety labs (See Laboratory Values Monitoring Plan for specific laboratory values).

  8. Genetic syndromes.

  9. Congenital brain malformations.

  10. Active Epilepsy Diagnosis (Epilepsy Diagnosis is defined as History of two or moreunprovoked seizures; Patient with a history of epilepsy who have been off medicationwithout seizures for more than two years do not qualify as active epilepsy).

  11. Any medical condition that the PI determines could jeopardize the safety of thestudy subject or compromise the integrity of the data.

  12. Significant negative reaction (i.e., fainting, vomiting, etc.) because of a previousblood draw.

  13. Failure to thrive or < 5%ile for Body Mass Index or weight at the time of screening.

  14. Concurrent treatment with drug that would significantly interact with theinvestigational product.

  15. Allergy or Sensitivity to ingredients in the investigational product or placebo.

  16. Evaluation with the NIH Toolbox or BOSCC within 3 months of entering the study.

  17. Planned evaluation with the NIH Toolbox or BOSCC during the study.

  18. Pregnancy

  19. Current DSM-5 diagnosis requiring alternative pharmacotherapy, e.g., MajorDepression, Bipolar Disorder, a psychotic disorder (based on clinical assessmentassisted by the Child and Adolescent Symptom Inventory).

  20. Refusal to comply with the use of birth control if sexually active.

  21. Abnormal vital signs (systolic blood pressure > 180 mmHg or < 90 mmHg; heart rate > 120 beats per minute or < 55 beats per minute; temperature > 101.0o F; oxygensaturation < 90%)

  22. Prolonged QTc (defined as > 450ms for males and >470ms for female) or anyabnormalities felt by the investigator to be of concern.

Study Description

A key molecular mechanism implicated in ASD is immune dysregulation and unchecked neuroinflammation marked by increased microglial activation. Galectin-3 (Gal-3), a galactoside-binding lectin, is critical to activation of neuroinflammation resulting in the proliferation of microglia.7 Gal-3 has been shown to be elevated in individuals with ASD. To inhibit Gal-3's contribution to neuroinflammation, Truebinding has developed TB006, a neutralizing monoclonal antibody against Gal-3. Our overall hypothesis is that TB006 will significantly improve core and associated behavioral symptoms of ASD and be well tolerated with no significant adverse effects in adults with ASD.
