Brief summary
Study 22003, An Open-Label, Flexible-Dose Evaluation of the Safety and Tolerability of STX209 for Treatment of Irritability in Subjects With Autism Spectrum Disorders(ASD) currently is evaluating the efficacy of STX209 (R-baclofen) for management of typical problem behaviors, such as irritability and aggression, in subjects with ASD. This study (22007) will enter subjects who complete Study 22003 into a long-term, open-label study.The open-label extension protocol will provide necessary data on the long-term safety and tolerability of STX209 among subjects with ASD who receive treatment under conditions more closely reflective of their general medical care.
Interventions
A flexible dose titration will be utilized during the first four weeks to define the optimal titrated dose (OTD) for each subject. Investigators will use clinical judgment to adjust doses to the oral OTD. The starting dose will be 1 mg BID. The dose may be increased every four to five days to 2 mg BID, 3 mg BID, 5 mg BID and then 10 mg BID
