These digital biomarkers are things like heart rate, muscle movement etc. and are measured using non-invasive devices (like a watch) and are aimed at complementing the traditional clinical scores already in use in current trials (e.g. Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC), Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) and Ohio Autism Clinical Impressions Scale (OACIS)).', 'detailedDescription': "This study is a pilot open label treatment trial with SF (sulforaphane) in 10 individuals that have completed with moderate to severe autism, age 13-30 years that have completed participation in ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02677051. This study will measure digital biomarkers of the nervous systems. Digital biomarkers are obtained by using non-invasive wireless (wearable, like wearing a watch) biosensors that co-register in tandem multiple biorhythms self-generated by the person's nervous systems. These sensors gather a very large amount of data from measures such as EEG (electroencephalogram), EKG (electrocardiogram), kinematics and others. These measures are done at the same time as the clinical evaluations and so results can be compared. Because the data are based on the unique fingerprint-like signatures of the person's nervous systems, it is possible to ascertain the person's progression in response to treatment and compare it to baseline states. The project will also compare these self-emerging clusters between subjects, possibly identifying patterns that correlate with sub-phenotypes or with similarities in response to treatment. Changes in things such as natural behaviors, an individual's ability or desire to interact socially and ability or desire to communicate will alter the signature profiles from baseline. Since these changes are dynamic in nature, trends of the evolving patterns and separate changes that are a consequence of the treatment vs. changes that are part of the natural neurodevelopment can be detected. This may be a valuable tool in future studies of underlying etiology. The technology used to perform these measures and the software to analyze the data are evolving rapidly. Last, with the characterized signatures and possibly overlapping patterns generated in this and in other projects it is foreseeable that a clinically relevant tool for measures in autism will follow."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'MALE', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '30 Years', 'minimumAge': '13 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Autistic disorder diagnosis.\n* Age between 13-30 years.\n* Male gender.\n* Participated in clinical trial NCT02677051\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Those that started or continued taking Avmacol® or similar broccoli extracts since leaving our double-blind study.\n* Absence of a parent or legal guardian and consent,\n* Those that can not or will not complete all visits and adherence to study regimen.\n* Seizure within 2 years of screening,\n* History of chronic kidney, liver or thyroid disease.\n* Impaired renal function (serum creatinine\\> 1.2 mg/dl).\n* Impaired hepatic function (\\> 2x upper limit of normal).\n* Impaired thyroid function (TSH outside normal limits).\n* Current infection or treatment with antibiotics.\n* Chronic medical disorder (e.g., cardiovascular disease, stroke or diabetes) or major surgery within 3 months prior to enrollment.\n* Less than 13 years or more than 30 years of age.\n* Female gender.\n* A diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder other than autistic disorder, for example, Asperger, PDD-NOS ( Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified) etc.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04805957', 'briefTitle': 'Validation Digital Bio-markers During Sulforaphane Treatment.', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey'}, 'officialTitle': 'A Pilot Project to Validate Digital Bio-markers as a Tool to Measure Improvement in Core Symptoms of Autism During Sulforaphane Treatment.', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'Pro2019001854'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Treatment', 'description': 'All subjects will receive 1.47umol/kg/day sulforaphane for 12 weeks.
