Pediatric Autism Study

Study takes place in Pompano Beach FL. Compensation of $4,000+

Study Overview

We are conducting a research study to investigate a potential new medication for treating irritability in teenagers ages 13-17 with autism spectrum disorder.

No Cost to Participate: There are no costs or insurance requirements to join the study.
Compensation: You and your child will receive $125 each (total $250) per visit.
Transportation: We offer free transportation or can reimburse up to $200 per visit for your travel expenses.
Study Medication (Caplyta/Lumateperone): This medication is FDA-approved for adults and is being studied for use in children with autism spectrum disorder. Research suggests it may reduce aggression in autism with potentially fewer side effects than current mood stabilizers.
