Summary

This trial uses digital biomarkers to track changes from a compound found in vegetables in order to better understand how it affects autism.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for males aged 13-30 with a diagnosis of autistic disorder who previously participated in clinical trial NCT02677051. It's not for those using broccoli extracts post-trial, without guardian consent, unable to commit to the study schedule, or with recent seizures, kidney/liver/thyroid disease, infections, antibiotics use, or major surgery within 3 months.
What is being tested?
The study tests if sulforaphane treatment effects on Autism Spectrum Disorder can be tracked using digital biomarkers like heart rate and muscle movement. These are measured non-invasively and aim to enhance traditional clinical scores used in autism research.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of sulforaphane aren't detailed here, it's generally considered safe when consumed through diet. In supplement form at high doses or long-term use could potentially cause stomach upset or other gastrointestinal issues.
