Safety and Efficacy of NDTx-03 in Children and Adolescents With ASD or SCD

15 de septiembre de 2026 actualizado por: Neudive Inc.

A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized, Evaluator-Blinded, Superiority, Confirmatory Trial to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of NDTx-03 for Improving Social Situation Recognition and Interaction in Children and Adolescents With ASD or SCD

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of NDTx-03 used together with treatment as usual (TAU) and to determine whether NDTx-03 plus TAU is more effective than TAU alone in improving social situation recognition and interaction in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or social communication disorder (SCD).

Descripción detallada

This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, evaluator-blinded, superiority, confirmatory clinical trial of NDTx-03 in children and adolescents with ASD or SCD.

Participants who meet all eligibility criteria will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the experimental group or the control group. All participants will maintain their existing ASD/SCD-related treatment, rehabilitation, or education program as Treatment-As-Usual (TAU) during the study.

Experimental group: Participants will receive NDTx-03 in addition to TAU from baseline. NDTx-03 will be used five times per week for 8 weeks (40 sessions), consisting of a 6-week basic application period followed by a 2-week advanced application period.

Control group: Participants will receive TAU alone for 8 weeks. After the Day 56 end-of-study visit, participants who wish to receive NDTx-03 may receive it under a separate post-study access consent process. This optional post-study use is not part of the randomized clinical trial intervention or efficacy-assessment period.

Study assessments include screening, baseline (Day 0), a telephone visit at Day 21, an in-person assessment at Day 42, and the end-of-study visit at Day 56. The primary efficacy endpoint is the between-group difference in change from baseline to Day 42 in the K-VABS-II Adaptive Behavior Composite score. Secondary efficacy assessments include K-VABS-II, SRS-2, K-PRQ-CA, CGI-S, and CGI-I. Other pre-specified assessments include KIPR, EQ-5D-5L, NDTx-03 satisfaction, adolescent smartphone addiction self-diagnosis, and TAU-related expenditures. Adverse events are recorded after written informed consent. Participants with adverse events are followed for up to 30 days after the last NDTx-03 application or until resolution, as applicable.

Experimental: NDTx-03 + TAU
NDTx-03 plus TAU from baseline through Day 56. NDTx-03 is used five times per week for 8 weeks (40 sessions), comprising a 6-week basic application period and a 2-week advanced application period.
Dispositivo: NDTx-03
NDTx-03 is digital medical device software intended to improve social situation recognition and interaction in children and adolescents aged 10 to 18 years with ASD or SCD. It integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the social information processing (SIP) model, and social skills training (SST) to address recognition and interpretation of social cues, goal setting, response generation and selection, and behavioral execution. The program adjusts difficulty according to the user's cognitive ability, diagnosis, and performance. In the experimental group, NDTx-03 is used on a smartphone five times per week for 8 weeks (40 sessions, a 6-week basic application period followed by a 2-week advanced application period).
Conductual: TAU
TAU consists of ASD/SCD-related treatment, rehabilitation, or education that the participant was already receiving. TAU continues during the study, but medications or treatment/rehabilitation/education programs that may significantly affect sociality should remain stable as specified in the protocol.
Otro: TAU Alone
TAU alone from baseline through Day 56. Optional NDTx-03 provided after the end-of-study visit under a separate post-study access process is outside the clinical trial intervention and assessment period.
Conductual: TAU
TAU consists of ASD/SCD-related treatment, rehabilitation, or education that the participant was already receiving. TAU continues during the study, but medications or treatment/rehabilitation/education programs that may significantly affect sociality should remain stable as specified in the protocol.
