What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called cTBS can improve how children with autism (ages 6-12) combine what they see and hear. Forty children will receive either real or sham stimulation over 10 sessions. Researchers will use brain scans, genetic tests, and sensory tasks to see if the treatment works and who benefits most.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) - a type of non-invasive brain stimulation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug treatment to help children with autism process sights and sounds more easily, potentially reducing sensory overload.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 children. The treatment may not work better than sham stimulation, and results may not apply to all children with autism. Brain stimulation can sometimes cause discomfort or headache.

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 40 people

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

Started

Aug 2025

Expected to finish

Jun 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

A company

The lead sponsor is a pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical-device company.

Who can take part

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

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Children aged 6-12 years at the time of enrollment. * Clinical diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) confirmed using the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R). * Intelligence quotient (IQ) ≥ 70 as measured by the General Ability Index (GAI) from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - Fifth Edition (WISC-V). * Ability to understand and follow simple instructions for behavioral tasks and stimulation procedures. * Stable medication regimen (if any) for at least 4 weeks before the start of the study. * Written informed consent from a parent or legal guardian, and assent from the child when appropriate. Exclusion Criteria: * History of epilepsy, seizures, or abnormal EEG suggestive of seizure risk. * Presence of metal implants, devices, or foreign bodies in or near the head (except dental fillings) that are contraindicated for TMS or MRI. * Serious neurological disorders other than ASD (e.g., cerebral palsy, brain injury, neurodegenerative disease). * Severe psychiatric disorders requiring hospitalization or urgent intervention. * Current or past history of significant head trauma with loss of consciousness \> 5 minutes. * Uncorrected hearing or vision problems that could interfere with task performance. * Inability to tolerate sitting still for 15-20 minutes. * Participation in another interventional clinical trial within the past 3 months.
