First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 34 times
Summary
This study tests a medication called pitolisant to see if it can improve social skills and behavior in male children and teenagers (ages 6 to 17) with autism spectrum disorder. The trial is double-blind and placebo-controlled, meaning some participants get the drug and some get a dummy pill, and neither they nor the researchers know who gets what. The main goal is to measure changes in social responsiveness using a standard questionnaire.
