Seeking Participants in Clinical Research Study

The Cody Center and Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Stony
Brook is currently recruiting participants ages 6-17 with a diagnosis of
Autism (not autism spectrum), who are medically healthy and not on
medication (or not responding to medication) to participate in an
investigational study.

The purpose of the study is to see if the investigational medication is more
effective than placebo (inactive medication) in reducing behavioral problems
like irritability, tantrums and aggression.

All clinical and laboratory assessments as well as study medications for the
8 weeks of the clinical research study are provided at no cost. If your
child responds to the study medication, there may be an option to
participate in another similar research trial.

If you are interested in participating or wish to learn more about the study
please contact: Gregory Carlson at (631) 632-8828 or email: Gregory.Carlson@StonyBrook.edu. child-autism-parent-cafe.com
