What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether AI-powered modules, accessed through a phone or computer app, can help autistic individuals improve social communication. Participants practice skills like empathy, asking questions, and listening, receiving feedback via voice recognition. The goal is to see if these digital tools can match the effectiveness of face-to-face interventions, offering a more accessible and home-based option.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
AI modules for improving social communication, accessed via a web app
What this could lead to
If effective, this could provide a scalable, cost-effective way for autistic individuals to practice social skills at home, especially for those without access to traditional care.
What could go wrong
The trial is early and relies on self-reported and expert-rated outcomes; AI feedback may not fully replicate human interaction, and results may not generalize to all autistic individuals.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 540 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Oct 2023

Expected to finish

Jun 2050

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

3 to 35 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Primary diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) * Age of adolescents and adults: between 11-35 years * Age of minimally verbal children: between 3-5 years * Ability to engage in social conversation using full sentences for a 20-minute period (adolescents and adults) * Verbal communication difficulties in an individual targeted area (e.g., empathy) as measured on the communication sample Participants with a co-occuring diagnosis of ADHD, depression, or social anxiety will not be excluded since these are very common in this population and are often related to or a bi-product of difficulties with social communication. Exclusion Criteria: * Non-documented or self-diagnosis of ASD * At or above 60% correct responding on targeted area of social conversation during conversation probe (adolescents and adults) * No significant language delay (young children) * No access to phone or computer for intervention sessions * Inability to carry on a conversation during the conversation probe * Apparent intellectual impairment that interferes with the ability to carry on a conversation (e.g., responds only in single words or does not respond to conversation, lack of understanding of questions or content during conversation probe) * Non-English speaking * Serious medical or psychiatric issues that may interfere with conversation or the ability to complete the program * Lack of interest in participating.
