ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06500637

What this study is testing

What is TB006?

TB006 is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for autism spectrum disorder.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
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. Eligible subjects will be randomized within each site in 2:1 ratio to receive either TB006 or placebo treatment.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
