The V1ADUCT Clinical Trial for Autism Spectrum Disorder

We are currently looking for people to take part in V1ADUCT – a clinical trial that will assess an investigational drug to see if it can help adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) manage certain social and communication challenges a little better.

Adults with autism see, hear and feel the world in a unique way. We don’t want to change this. But sometimes, adults with autism may find certain situations challenging. So we’re developing an investigational drug to assess whether it can help adults with ASD manage certain social and communication challenges a little better.

To learn if the investigational drug works, we’re looking for 350 people to join the V1ADUCT clinical trial. Each one must (among other things):

Be at least 18 years old
Be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
Have someone they see and speak to regularly, who is willing and able to be their ‘study partner’

To find out if you are eligible for this study, please visit the V1ADUCT WEBSITE

If you need additional information or answers to any questions about the study, please email Stacy Riffle, Research Coordinator: stacy.riffle@seattlechildrens.org or call: 206-987-7502
