NTI164 nel Disturbo dello Spettro Autistico (Beyond Harmony)

27 settembre 2026 aggiornato da: Fenix Innovation Group

Uno Studio di Fase III in Doppio Cieco, Randomizzato, Controllato con Placebo che Indaga l'Efficacia e la Sicurezza di NTI164 in Bambini e Giovani Adulti con Disturbo dello Spettro Autistico

This is a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study investigating the efficacy of a full-spectrum medicinal cannabis plant extract on core and associated ASD symptoms over placebo. Participants will be randomly allocated to either NTI164 or placebo at a 1:1 ratio and blood samples will be collected and surveys completed at baseline and Week 16. This study will expand efficacy and safety data of NTI164 and provide additional mechanism of action data of NTI164 in this patient cohort.

Intervento / Trattamento

Descrizione dettagliata

Participants will be recruited from sites across Australia and will have a diagnosis of ASD Level II or III, as well as satisfying other inclusion/exclusion criteria. The primary objective is to assess efficacy of 16 weeks of daily oral administration of NTI164 on core ASD symptoms compared to placebo. The secondary objectives are to further expand the safety data of NTI164 in this patient cohort, and assess the changes in other associated symptoms of ASD following NTI164.

Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 16

Captures overall change in core ASD symptoms across domains including social awareness, social cognition, social communication, social motivation, and restricted and repetitive behaviours. Scores are between 0-195, and higher scores indicate greater impairment.

Baseline, Week 16
Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I)
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 16

Provides a clinician-rated global assessment of improvement at a given time point following an intervention. 1-3 = improvement, 4 = no change, 5-7 = worsening.

Baseline, Week 16
Clinical Global Impression - Severity (CGI-S)
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 16

Evaluates a clinician's impression of disease severity at a given time point from a scale of 1-7. A higher score indicates greater impairment/disease severity.

Baseline, Week 16
Anxiety, Depression, and Mood Scale (ADAMS)
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 16

Measures emotional and behavioural disturbances frequently comorbid with ASD. Assesses 5 domains (Manic/hyperactive Behaviour, Depressed Mood, Social Avoidance, General Anxiety, and Compulsive Behaviour). Scores are between 0-84, with higher scores indicating greater impairment.

Baseline, Week 16
Autism Family Experience Questionnaire (AFEQ)
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 16

Captures caregiver perceptions of changes in family impact, child wellbeing, and support burden. Scores range from 48-240, with higher scores indicating worse family outcomes.

Baseline, Week 16

Evaluates treatment-related changes in sleep quality and sleep-wake behaviours. Assesses 6 domains (Disorders of Initiating and Maintaining Sleep, Sleep Breathing Disorders, Disorders of Arousal, Sleep Wake Transition Disorders, Disorders of Excessive Somnolence, and Sleep Hyperhidrosis). Scores range from 26-130, with higher scores indicating greater impairment and issues around sleep.

Baseline, Week 16
EQ-5D-Y-5L

Measures broader wellbeing and day-to-day function, as well as quality of life (QoL), from a caregiver-reported perspective. Assesses health in 5 domains (Mobility, Usual Activities, Self-care, Pain/discomfort, and Anxiety/depression), and QoL. Scores range from 0-1, with 0 = the worst health possible and 1 = the best possible health state. The higher the score, the better the health state.

Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Research samples - transcriptomics
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 16

To further clarify the mechanism of action of NTI164, both bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing will be performed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients at specified time points. This will provide additional information regarding which genes are being expressed in patients at either abnormally low or high levels compared to a non-ASD population, and the effects NTI164 has on gene expression. This workflow includes RNA extraction, depletion of ribosomal RNA via hybrid capture, library preparation, and sequencing. Cleaned sequence reads will then be aligned against the Homo sapiens genome (Build version hg38) and STAR aligner (v2.5.3a) will be used to map unique reads to the genomic sequences. This is exploratory so genes of interest cannot be identified in advance.

Baseline, Week 16
Research bloods - proteomics (and phosphoproteomics)
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 16

To further clarify the mechanism of action of NTI164, proteomics and phosphoproteomics will be performed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients at specified time points. This will provide additional information regarding which proteins are being expressed at either abnormally low or high levels compared to a non-ASD population, as well as how extensively these proteins are phosphorylated compared to a non-ASD population, and the effects NTI164 has on protein expression and phosphorylation. Samples will be tagged using the TMTpro system and hydrophilic ion liquid chromatography fractionation performed. This is exploratory so proteins of interest cannot be identified in advance.

Baseline, Week 16
Research bloods - Methylomics
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 16

To further clarify the mechanism of action of NTI164, methylomics will be performed on whole blood from patients at specified time points. This will provide additional information on methylation patterns (e.g. addition of a methyl group to histones or DNA) in patients compared to non-patients, and how NTI164 effects this type of epigenetic modification and how genes of interest may be regulated. This is exploratory so patterns of interest cannot be identified in advance. Genome-wide methylation will be assessed using the Illumina MethylationEPIC v2.0 BeadChip (or the latest version if a new version is available to the study team at the time of analysis).

Baseline, Week 16
Research bloods - cytokine assay
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 16

To further clarify the mechanism of action of NTI164, a cytokine assay investigating a panel of inflammatory markers will be performed on plasma from patients at specified time points. The cytokine assay will likely be the LEGENDplex Human Neuroinflammation Panel 1 (13 plex). Cytokines investigated with this panel include VILIP-1, CCL2, sTREM-2, b-NGF, TGF-b1, TNF-a, IL-6, s-TREM-1, sRAGE, CX3CL1, VEGF, BDNF, and IL-18.
